About Asana
Asana builds out AI Studio governance and Rules automation through steady incremental releases
Asana is deepening two connected bets: AI Studio, its AI automation layer, and the Rules engine. Recent releases cluster around AI Studio credit governance and visibility (department-level allocations, in-builder credit awareness), automation reach (HubSpot workflows via Rules and AI Studio), and planning/UX refinements (project dates in capacity plans, inline subtasks in My Tasks). The work skews heavily enterprise- and admin-oriented.
