Get started free. Source: https://asana.com/uses/ai-workflow-automation #### Asana AI helps leading businesses get work done Why move to AI-powered workflow automation? Classic automation follows rules: if this happens, do that. [AI workflow automation](https://asana.com/features/workflow-automation) goes further — it interprets inputs, makes decisions mid-workflow, and adapts when conditions change. In practice, that means AI can read a form submission and decide whether to escalate or auto-approve it. It can scan incoming requests, classify them by type, and route each one to the right team without a manual triage step. It can draft the output and deliver it before anyone's had to ask. The difference isn't speed. It's judgment. AI workflow automation handles the steps that rules-based tools can't, because the answer depends on context rather than a fixed condition. Only 18% of organizations have successfully scaled AI agents — and just 10% maintain a formal agent library. - [Read report](/resources/scaling-ai-in-2025) #### Build AI workflows in plain language — then let them run #### AI Studio #### Words to workflows Describe the workflow you want in plain language. AI Studio assembles the triggers, conditions, and actions for you — no scripting, no node-mapping. Refine the steps visually, attach context from your team's documents or project data, and deploy directly where your teams are already working. - [Build with AI Studio](/product/ai/ai-studio) #### AI Teammates #### Build agentic AI workflows with AI Teammates Workflows don't stop at routing. When your agentic workflow requires more than simple logic, assign the step to an AI Teammate. They are autonomous agents that draft, triage, update, and escalate, providing full visibility into what they did and why. - [Meet AI Teammates](/product/ai/ai-teammates) #### Asana Dash #### Your AI chief of staff Dash mines email, Slack, and meeting notes to surface what's changed across your active workflows — what needs a decision, what's blocked, and what AI is handling on your behalf. - [Explore Asana Dash](/product/ai/dash) #### Step 1: Describe your workflow in plain language Open AI Studio and describe the workflow you want: what triggers it, what AI should check or decide, and what happens next. AI generates the workflow structure, so you start with something real instead of a blank canvas. #### Step 2: Refine triggers, conditions, and actions Adjust each step visually. Set the trigger: a form submission, a task created, a deadline passed. Define each next step: classify, score, route, draft, notify. All with context from your team's documents, past projects, or external tools. #### Step 3: Assign workflow steps to AI Teammates For steps that require more than routing, assign the step to an AI Teammate. They execute it end to end and flag anything that needs human review to keep the workflow moving. #### Step 4: Connect to the tools your team already uses Connect AI Studio with the tools your team relies on, like Slack and Salesforce. You can even pass data to models like Gemini or Claude directly from your workflow, all without writing a single line of code. #### Step 5: Monitor, audit, and iterate Every AI action is logged and visible to your team. See what the workflow did, when, and why. Admins control which data AI can access and which steps require human approval before they execute. Iterate on the workflow as your process evolves. #### How AI workflow automation works in Asana From idea to live workflow — without a developer Asana AI Studio is a no-code AI workflow builder. Your team builds and owns the workflow — no engineering ticket required. The best AI workflow tools need to go beyond simple automation. AI Studio helps you build [smarter processes](https://asana.com/resources/business-process-automation): - Request intake: classify, score, and route incoming work by type before a human has to read it - Approval workflows: route for sign-off, send reminders for overdue approvals, escalate on deadline - Status reporting: draft and deliver stakeholder roll-ups from live project data on a schedule - Cross-tool handoffs: trigger actions in connected apps and sync data across your stack - [Get started](/product/ai/ai-studio) #### AI workflow automation for every team #### Operations #### Request triage at scale AI Studio reads every incoming request, classifies it by type and urgency, assigns it to the right queue, and sends a confirmation — all before your team opens the inbox. Routine requests never wait for a human to sort them. #### Marketing #### Campaign kickoff to delivery AI Teammates draft creative briefs from intake forms, route for approval, flag timeline risks before they delay launch, and update the project status without anyone writing a weekly check-in. #### IT #### Ticket routing and onboarding AI classifies support tickets by type and urgency, triggers the right onboarding checklist when a new hire record is created, and closes completed items automatically — keeping your service queue clean without manual administration. #### Finance #### Approvals and reporting AI routes invoices and purchase requests to the right approver based on amount and category, sends reminders for overdue sign-offs, and generates weekly spend summaries from task data — without spreadsheet maintenance.
