IV-Lead have announced its partnership with Asana a few months ago, and have been promoting that partnership ever since. Many companies have shown interest in Asana, and some chose to implement it in their own organizations.
We strongly believe that Asana's products and services can help teams across all departments manage their time and schedules more effectively. But Asana isn’t stopping there - They have recently launched a new feature called Asana AI. People, this is a game changer.
Asana AI is a personal intelligent assistant designed to streamline your work management experience, help you work smarter, automate tasks and gain valuable insights into your projects. We will discuss the rest of its features and how to utilize them in more detail.
But that’s not all: Last June, Asana’s Head of Product Alex Hood unveiled a whole new suite of AI teammates that operate within Asana AI, and help tackle complex workflows and elevate teamwork. How's that for a technological leap?
Let's take a look at what these two AI advancements can do, their features, and how they can change the way your team works. Let's begin!

Now that we’ve covered Asana AI, let's look at the awesome new Teammates feature.
Introducing Asana AI Teammates
Asana just wants to push forward to stay at the forefront of AI trends worldwide, transforming how teams plan, manage, and execute work more efficiently.
3 Ways AI Teammates Will Change How You Work
Asana integrates AI directly into your workflow to not only provide you with recommendations, but also take action on actual work and continuously adapt based on your organization's needs. Here’s what we're exploring for Asana AI teammates, which is currently in beta:
1. Advise: By surfacing insights across your teams, projects, and work, Teammates advise you where to focus. This tool can be used to identify risks, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement, such as flagging unclear ownership on projects and suggesting the right individuals to lead them.
3. Adapt: Lastly, this feature continuously adapts to your organization's needs. Team members using AI can identify broken or inefficient processes and suggest improvements to realign work and keep it on track.
Additionally, you can get rich answers through the new AI chat interface, coming later this month, to better understand work details, status, and next steps.
Asana AI teammates are built on Asana's Work Graph® data model, which provides the ideal structure, visibility, and context for organizations to scale AI confidently. By linking work and workflows to higher level company objectives, AI teammates can take action with the appropriate context and rules of engagement, unlike other AI solutions that aimlessly scan vast amounts of data and act based on unreliable information. AI in Asana also provides full transparency into how recommendations are made, ensuring that humans remain in control at all times.
