Asana Unveils AI Teammates To Supercharge Human-AI Collaboration At Work

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 (Bernama) -- Asana, a work management platform for human and artificial intelligence (AI) collaboration, has launched AI Teammates, collaborative agents that understand the context of all work across an organisation and how that work gets done.

These AI agents are not just chatbots with tasks; they are integrated collaborators that learn, adapt, and operate within the broader context of how your business runs.

This comes as research shows 70 per cent of autonomous agents fail at basic tasks, not due to a lack of AI power, but a lack of context.

Asana in a statement said it is fixing that by embedding AI Teammates directly into its Work Graph, giving them memory, structure, and visibility across teams.

“Everyone is building autonomous agents, but autonomy is the wrong goal. Agents can only collaborate effectively with humans if they have access to the company’s operational framework or ‘blueprint’ of who is doing what by when, how, and why.

“Importantly, our approach also gives humans control over how agents access data and consume resources,” said Asana chief executive officer, Dan Rogers. 

AI Teammates extend Asana’s existing AI capabilities, which include AI Studio, a no-code builder for AI-powered workflows that handle repeatable, routine tasks at high volume.

What sets AI Teammates apart is their deep understanding of team goals, workflows, and organisational structure, which allows them to operate with full context. They offer transparency through clear, traceable actions and give administrators control over data access, usage, and costs.

Already, these agents are making an impact across departments, from managing campaigns in marketing to streamlining information technology (IT) support, assisting product teams with bug tracking, and coordinating complex launches in operations.

AI Teammates are now available in beta, with general availability expected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.
