Asana Unveils Operating System for Human-Agent Teams

SYDNEY, June 10, 2026 – Asana, Inc. (NYSE: ASAN)(LTSE: ASAN), the operating system for human-agent teams, today unveiled a new product suite designed to help organisations run critical work with humans and AI agents working from the same plan, with the same context, under the same governance, unlocking enterprise productivity at scale.

The launch marks Asana’s most significant product evolution to date and comes at a pivotal moment for organisations across Asia Pacific. Today, only 14% of Australian organisations have successfully scaled AI across multiple workflows, while 86% remain stuck in the pilot phase of implementation. At the same time, only 46% of Australian workers report using AI on a weekly basis, highlighting the gap between AI ambition and real-world adoption.*

This is what Asana calls the AI productivity gap, and it comes down to four reasons:

  • Hard to get started: It’s hard for teams to discover the right agents and visualise their current processes and workflows.
  • Agents aren’t team players: There is no framework for individuals to interact with agents in multiplayer mode alongside the rest of their team.
  • Agents lack context: Most agents aren’t onboarded with the context of how their teams operate, the decisions already made, or what they care about.
  • Hard to govern: CIOs and IT leaders are concerned about agents operating with unchecked data access and no cost oversight.

Together, these challenges prevent organisations from moving beyond AI experimentation and achieving meaningful productivity gains. Across the region, businesses including Woolworths Group, Xero, Showpo, OneO2Plants, MATE, Grain and Compassion Australia are already using Asana to improve visibility, coordinate work across teams and reduce operational friction.

Organisations need an operating layer on top, a place where humans and agents can run critical workflows together.

This is what Asana delivers today.

What’s new

Agentic Work Management is Asana’s easy button for AI productivity across every team. Built to close the AI gap, it delivers in several key ways: supercharging teams with ready-to-go agents, eliminating the busywork that slows every team down, and making sure every individual always knows their next best action.

Agentic Work Management enabled by a new generation of teammates

Agentic Work Management introduces a new way to use Asana, with agents enabled for every layer of the business:

  • For personal use, an AI Chief of Staff – called Asana Dash – that understands each user’s goals, priorities, and the work that needs attention across teams and tools. It captures follow-ups from meetings, Slack threads, and email, turns them into structured work in the Work Graph, and connects users to the right AI Teammates for specific tasks and projects to move work forward.
  • For teams, AI Teammates are now more capable, more connected, and easier to adopt, with a new chat-based front door, in-product recommendations, a Skills library for repeatable work, and integrations across Gmail, Outlook, Slack, HubSpot, Figma, Canva, and more. Because they operate in a shared system with memory of past decisions and working patterns, each workflow starts with more context and gets sharper over time.
  • For specific industries where teams rely on deeply specialised workflows, Asana is expanding its portfolio of AI Teammates with pre-built, industry-specific agents for high-value workflows in manufacturing, retail, and other industries. Each arrives pre-onboarded to the work it supports, helping teams get value faster.

With StackAI, Agentic Work Management extends across enterprise systems

With StackAI, acquired in May 2026, customers can extend Agentic Work Management beyond the Work Graph into the systems where work actually happens. AI Studio, AI Teammates, and StackAI together let customers orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows across CRMs, ERPs, collaboration tools, support systems, contracts, databases, and custom infrastructure — not just within Asana. Teams can plan work, coordinate humans and agents through one shared system, and execute across the enterprise with the context, governance, and handoffs production use demands.

New applications coming soon: the OS packaged for the teams that need it most

Asana is packaging its operating system for the teams whose work is most dependent on coordinated execution.

  • Asana Service Management unifies ticketing and project execution for IT, HR, facilities, and other service teams to resolve key issues without human touch. A self-learning knowledge base improves deflection over time. When a request needs another team involved, Asana can move from ticket to project without losing context, something legacy ITSM tools structurally cannot do.
  • Command by Asana is a planning and product development system for humans and agents to work in sync. Specs write themselves from context across past tickets, PRs, meetings, and notes. Releases hold because engineering managers can model their backlog against release dates and run what-if scenarios across capacity and velocity without the spreadsheets. Leaders can ask a question or check the live dashboard to see what’s off track, why, and which dependencies are hidden.
  • Asana Client Management runs the full agency lifecycle in one system. Deliver every client a branded portal where all communication lives in one place, keeping them informed and aligned from intake through delivery. AI agents handle the work that slows teams down: capacity planning, SOW creation, asset production, status drafts. And with a live view of project and client health, resourcing decisions happen before problems surface, not after.

“For 18 years, Asana has solved one of the hardest problems in business: helping teams coordinate at scale across goals, decisions, and handoffs. The foundation we built – the Enterprise Work Graph, shared memory, multiplayer coordination, and governance – is precisely what the agentic era requires. Asana’s OS is how AI moves from helping individuals work faster to supercharging entire organisations,” said Dan Rogers, CEO of Asana.

“Across Asia Pacific, organisations are moving quickly from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, but many are still struggling to operationalise AI at scale,” said Jo Gaines, General Manager, APAC at Asana. “Our research shows organisations that successfully scale AI are 2.6 times more likely to redesign workflows around AI rather than simply layering it onto existing processes. The next phase of AI is about creating a system where humans and AI agents can work together seamlessly to drive measurable business outcomes, and that’s exactly what our new product suite aims to provide.”

Customers adopting Agentic Work Management

FedEx has deployed AI Studio and AI Teammates across marketing and sales, driving a 9x improvement in speed to market and generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual operational savings. In marketing, FedEx consolidated intake from more than 24 forms into a single intelligent workflow using AI Studio, with AI Teammates drafting go-to-market plans and creative briefs, reducing planning cycles from weeks to days and reclaiming over 1,200 hours annually. In sales enablement, intake review time dropped from 90 minutes to 30 minutes,with automated portfolios handling cross-region launch sequencing in real time to optimise seller capacity. At the leadership level, AI Teammates generated summaries and status updates providing100% visibility into global initiatives, and reclaiming over 300 hours previously spent on manual alignment.

COS, the global fashion brand within the H&M Group, used AI Studio and AI Teammates to transform campaign production across marketing, ecommerce, and regional teams worldwide – cutting campaign setup time by 90%, doubling asset output to more than 1,000 assets per campaign, and eliminating nearly 3,000 hours of annual manual work. As COS put it: “Asana hasn’t merely improved our processes – it has redefined how we work.”
