What is Asana?

Asana's agent left the app — it now answers work questions inside Slack threads.

Two arcs run in parallel. A text and editor surface has been built out steadily — Pages, rich text in custom fields, highlighting, threaded comments, and now syntax highlighting — and an agent layer has grown alongside it through AI Teammates, Teammate Skills, and AI Studio. Nearly every release cites a named Community forum request as its origin. The editor work carries a recurring caveat: features land on web first and mobile trails, sometimes losing formatting outright.

What is Miro?

Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.

The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.

Asana vs Miro: editorial side-by-side

Asana's agent left the app — it now answers work questions inside Slack threads.

◆ Current state

Two arcs run in parallel. A text and editor surface has been built out steadily — Pages, rich text in custom fields, highlighting, threaded comments, and now syntax highlighting — and an agent layer has grown alongside it through AI Teammates, Teammate Skills, and AI Studio. Nearly every release cites a named Community forum request as its origin. The editor work carries a recurring caveat: features land on web first and mobile trails, sometimes losing formatting outright.

◆ Where it's heading

The editor arc is now mostly closing out a backlog of formatting asks, and each release is narrower than the last. The agent arc is the one changing shape: it has moved from configuring automations inside Asana to answering questions about the work graph from inside another vendor's application, on every tier including Personal. Building it permission-inheriting and private-by-default suggests Asana is treating the agent as a distribution surface rather than a feature to upsell.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same agent to appear on more surfaces — Teams and email are the obvious next ones — and expect mobile parity work on the editor features that shipped web-only. The language-tier expansion Asana flagged for syntax highlighting is the low-risk near-term item.

Miro is closing the gap between the workshop board and the deck built from it.

◆ Current state

The board is becoming a source for generated deliverables: Miro AI now produces structured Slides presentations from scattered board content. Prototyping is the other heavy investment — an Advanced tab of 76 components, Code to Prototype, prototyping from screenshots and Figma, SVG and Copy-to-Figma export, connector visibility and precise sizing in Focus Modes. Diagramming continues to widen with an electrical-engineering shape pack and style-aware AI diagrams.

◆ Where it's heading

Miro is pushing outward at both ends of the canvas — generating the presentation that used to be built elsewhere afterwards, and generating prototypes from code, screenshots and Figma files beforehand. The canvas is being positioned as the middle of a pipeline rather than a standalone whiteboard.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Slides and Prototypes paths to keep converging on generation from existing artifacts, with the add-on boundary deciding how much of it is included.
