The problem it solves

Creating projects, updating tasks, and pulling status reports in Asana means a lot of clicking around, especially during a busy call or when you're switching between tools all day. Simple updates take longer than they should.

Who it fits

Managers and teams who use Asana and want to update it without leaving a chat window.

How it works

  1. You type a request in plain English, like creating a project or updating a due date
  2. AI interprets what you're asking for
  3. The right action is carried out directly in Asana
  4. Status reports and task lists are pulled together on request
  5. You get a chat reply confirming what was done or showing the results
What you get

Asana updates made without opening the app

You can create, update, and check on Asana projects by typing a plain-English request in chat.

What you get

Asana projects and tasks updated instantly, plus chat-based status reports on demand.

What you need

An Asana account and an OpenAI or DeepSeek API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
