Asana Intelligence

What Is Asana Intelligence?

Asana Intelligence is the AI layer built into Asana's project management platform. It automatically generates status updates, identifies project risks, recommends task assignments based on workload, and connects daily work to company goals. The AI surfaces insights that help managers make better decisions without chasing people for updates.

Who Is It For?

Structured teams that run recurring projects and need clear visibility into progress and blockers. Asana Intelligence works best for marketing teams, product teams, and operations groups that follow defined workflows. It's less ideal for ad-hoc creative work and better for repeatable processes.

• Goal Tracking: Connect projects to company goals and get AI-powered progress tracking that shows whether you're on track.
• Smart Workflows: AI suggests workflow improvements based on how your team actually works and where bottlenecks occur.
• Resource Management: Visualize team workload across projects and get AI recommendations for rebalancing assignments.
• Smart Fields: AI categorizes and prioritizes tasks based on patterns in your project data.
