## 5 reasons Asana AI Teammates outperform your favorite agent

You're probably already using an AI agent to draft emails, summarize docs, or knock out quick tasks. Maybe your team has even started building agents into shared workflows. But most agents are fundamentally built for one person at a time: they don't collaborate, don't remember, and stop working the moment you log off. [AI Teammates](https://asana.com/product/ai/ai-teammates) are different. Here's why:

## **1. They’re multiplayer by design.**

Most AI agents are built for one person at a time: one person prompts, then owns sharing the output with everyone else. With AI Teammates, multiple people can shape the work while it's happening. The Teammate synthesizes these inputs into a single, cohesive result.

**Example:** While a Teammate researches competitors for you, your coworker can jump in with feedback to prioritize specific features or brands. The Teammate integrates both sets of instructions in real time without requiring an update to your original prompt. Without this, someone generates a draft, shares it for feedback, waits for responses, and re-prompts. That loop can take days for something a Teammate handles in one interaction.

## **2. They build institutional knowledge over time.**

Most AI agents are siloed to a single user, meaning each person has to retrain their own agent and context is never shared. AI Teammates carry context across multiple tasks and collaborators, building a shared brain that gets smarter as more people use it. 

**Example:**You can train a Teammate on your product's top support issues and recent customer call transcripts, then share it with the rest of the customer support team. New hires can query it for account history instead of digging through months of call notes. Senior reps can layer in their own insights. Over time, the Teammate knows as much about your accounts as anyone on the team.

## **3. They remember what you told them, so you never have to repeat yourself.**

Most AI agents don’t remember details from previous interactions without you explicitly asking, which means you need to repeat the same context across different sessions. Teammates retain preferences and context from past interactions automatically. They are also privacy-aware: a Teammate only draws from memories that the current user has permission to see.

**Example:** If you previously collaborated with a Teammate on a brief, it will remember that specific conversation without needing a link. It also recalls the feedback you gave during that session, such as your preference for bulleted summaries, and applies it to your next request automatically. Bonus points: your coworkers get to benefit from memories that your Teammate learns from your shared work together (see #2). But don't worry - only if your coworkers have permission to see them.

## **4. They keep working after you log off.**

Most AI agents sit idle until you prompt them. Teammates can run on a recurring schedule, respond to natural language follow-ups, or trigger automatically when specific conditions are met.

**Example:**You can set a Teammate to draft a status report every Friday from your project's latest updates. You can tell one to "follow up on the vendor contract next Tuesday," and it does. You can create a rule that triggers a Teammate to triage new requests the moment they hit your intake project, so nothing sits unaddressed during your vacation.

## **5. They can be shared across your team without exposing sensitive data.**

Most AI agents either lock sensitive data behind admin controls or expose everything to everyone who uses them. Meanwhile, while an entire team can share a single Teammate, it operates only within the specific permissions and memory of the user who triggers it. No one sees anything they wouldn't normally have access to.

**Example:** Use a Teammate to draft performance reviews for your team based on a year's worth of work data. Even though your whole team uses the same Teammate for daily tasks, it will never leak private review notes or sensitive feedback to your direct reports.
