Introduction

Asana AI Teammates are collaborative AI agents that join your team within Asana. They leverage project context, adhere to checkpoints and controls, and can be assigned tasks just like a real team member. Currently in beta, this feature is accessible to customers on the AI Studio Pro plan. General availability is anticipated for early FY27.

What is an AI Teammate

An AI Teammate is a customizable agent that comprehends your work in Asana and takes action to advance it. You have the option to choose prebuilt teammates or design your own without coding by defining a role, permissions, and responsibilities. Teammates develop memory over time, allowing them to adapt to your team's workflow.

How AI Teammates work

You can add an AI Teammate to a project, define its scope, and assign tasks as you would to a colleague. It interprets the project’s context, suggests or performs actions, and utilizes checkpoints to ensure human oversight. A public demo showcases how teammates function with context, controls, and governance.

Key capabilities

• Create content, synthesize research, analyze data, and flag risks with the project's context in mind.

• Assign tasks to the Teammate and review its work through transparent checkpoints.

• Configure custom teammates without coding to meet marketing, IT, operations, and product requirements.

Why it matters

AI Teammates help reduce busywork and speed up outcomes as the agent resides where work is planned and tracked. Combining context, controls, and memory enables teams to move from request to result more quickly while maintaining accountability. Early insights also highlight Asana’s use of leading language models in the background.

Who benefits

• Marketing: Support for campaign strategy, creative reviews, and status follow-ups.

• IT and Ops: Service ticket triage, vendor evaluation, compliance, and launch coordination.

• Product and Engineering: Requirements validation, backlog grooming, and risk tracking across dependencies.

Availability and plans

AI Teammates are in beta, available to customers on AI Studio Pro, with a sign-up page for the beta. Pricing and plan names for AI Studio tiers can be found on Asana’s pricing pages and help centre, with AI Studio available in Basic, Plus, and Pro versions. Always verify eligibility with Asana or your account team.

Practical ways to start

• Single pilot: Select one project with defined inputs and outputs. Add a prebuilt Teammate or configure one for that project. Measure time saved and quality.

• Customize safely: Set permissions, checkpoints, and responsibilities. Begin with one team's scope, then expand.

• Show the value: Utilize Asana’s public demo as a training aid, then document your pattern as a short runbook.
