Project Management, Not AI Writing

Asana is primarily a project/work management platform. AI features (AI Studio, AI Teammates) automate workflows and summarize tasks, but do not write content like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini.

AI Studio: No-Code Workflow Automation

Describe what you want in natural language, AI Studio builds the workflow. Credit allocations are now explicitly published per tier: Starter 50,000/month, Advanced 75,000/month, Enterprise and Enterprise+ 200,000/month per billing account. Additional AI Studio Plus (100,000 credits/month, ~$135/account/month annual) and AI Studio Pro (5 million credits/quarter) available as paid upgrades.

AI Teammates: Now Self-Serve on All Paid Plans (Spring 2026)

Launched March 17, 2026 as a sales-only add-on to Starter, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ plans. As of the Spring 2026 release (~May 2026), existing customers can self-serve sign up and start a free 14-day trial without contacting sales. Gallery has grown to approximately 30 specialized AI agents (from 21 at launch) including Campaign Brief Writer, Launch Planner, Compliance Specialist, and more.

Admin-Controlled Opt-Out

Individual users cannot disable AI features. Admins and super admins must enable/disable via Admin Console. The December 2025 Privacy Statement update confirms Asana uses domain metadata to train its own AI models when AI features are enabled — admins can disable this via Admin Console. Unchanged as of July 2026.

No Third-Party AI Training on Your Data

Third-party LLM providers (AI Partners) are contractually prohibited from training on customer data. Data is deleted after each AI interaction. However, Asana's own AI uses domain-level metadata (not user-generated content) for model training when Asana AI features are enabled.

Personal Plan Limited to 2 Users

Common Sense Media Warning Rating

Common Sense Media gives Asana a 'Warning' rating due to third-party marketing data sharing, personalized advertising, and cross-site ad tracking. This applies to Asana's general web/marketing practices and may not affect enterprise customer data under a Customer Agreement. Unchanged as of July 2026.
