Asana has introduced a beta version of AI Teammates, an AI-based software designed to streamline organizational workflows. AI Teammates aims to work alongside human employees to carry out tasks and help increase productivity.

AI Teammates analyzes incoming work, determines its readiness to progress, and requests additional information from human coworkers if needed. It evaluates the status of the work and decides whether it is set to move forward or human intervention is needed. The teammate can redirect a task to the appropriate person for resolution.

Asana claims that its AI Teammates can increase transparency and structure in the workflow, enabling businesses to tailor AI to their unique needs. It also claims that its AI can effectively handle administrative tasks and information retrieval, freeing up human employees for other tasks.

Analyst QuickTake : Asana has been upgrading its project management platform by integrating AI to improve efficiency and simplify workflows. A notable development is the launch of AI Smarts in October 2023 . The AI Smarts feature provides tools like smart fields, a smart editor, and smart summaries to help teams organize projects, create draft notes, and summarize tasks effectively.
