Asana vs Scoro: at a glance
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 Scoro?
Scoro is making itself agent-readable: AI assistant for everyone, MCP server, app platform.
Three releases in close succession define where Scoro is investing: an MCP server for AI-powered cross-app workflows, the ELI AI assistant rolled out to all users, and a New Apps by Scoro layer announced in May 2026. The fundamentals — subtasks, role assignment on tasks, time-and-cost-to-invoice allocation, financial reports — are still shipping in parallel.

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.
Scoro
2.5PM
Scoro is making itself agent-readable: AI assistant for everyone, MCP server, app platform.
◆ Current state
Three releases in close succession define where Scoro is investing: an MCP server for AI-powered cross-app workflows, the ELI AI assistant rolled out to all users, and a New Apps by Scoro layer announced in May 2026. The fundamentals — subtasks, role assignment on tasks, time-and-cost-to-invoice allocation, financial reports — are still shipping in parallel.
◆ Where it's heading
Scoro is positioning itself to be operated by both humans and agents over the same data model. MCP plus a public ELI assistant plus an apps layer is a deliberate platform move, not feature scatter. The classic project-management roadmap (subtasks, time tracking, financial reporting) continues underneath as table stakes.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper integrations between ELI and the new Apps layer next, plus more granular MCP tool surfaces (timesheet, invoicing, quoting). A marketplace or partner-built apps story is the obvious follow-on if New Apps by Scoro is going to mean anything beyond first-party.
