Asana vs Fibery: at a glance
What is Asana?
Asana keeps fixing subtask plumbing: types now follow the parent, dates roll up.
Asana's fall releases split between control-plane work and planning mechanics. Subtask types are now set by the parent task rather than the project view they're added from, with a per-custom-type choice to inherit or default to basic Tasks. That follows Subtask Date Rollups, automation rules running on their owner's current permissions, a reorganized Admin Console with AI as its own section, and threaded comments.
What is Fibery?
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.

5.0PMCOLLAB
Asana keeps fixing subtask plumbing: types now follow the parent, dates roll up.
◆ Current state
Asana's fall releases split between control-plane work and planning mechanics. Subtask types are now set by the parent task rather than the project view they're added from, with a per-custom-type choice to inherit or default to basic Tasks. That follows Subtask Date Rollups, automation rules running on their owner's current permissions, a reorganized Admin Console with AI as its own section, and threaded comments.
◆ Where it's heading
The summer sparks (AI Teammates, agent-built rules, Slack @mention capture) widened what Asana can do; the fall has been about making that safe to deploy and keeping task structure consistent. Predictable subtask types and dates matter because automations and AI Teammates read that structure, so cleaner hierarchies make both more reliable.
◆ Prediction
Expect more hierarchy consistency work, such as rollups that run automatically or via rules, and admin controls for AI Teammates in the new Admin Console AI section.
Fibery
7.5PM
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
◆ Current state
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.
◆ Prediction
Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.
