Asana's AI agents share memory across your company — but not your secrets

At VB Transform 2026, Asana CPO Arnab Bose explained how the company built Agentic Work Management to make AI agents operate more like coachable teammates than isolated copilots. The system runs on Asana’s long-standing Work Graph, which maps tasks, projects, portfolios, and goals so agents can understand context and update work across teams.

Asana is positioning its existing work-management data layer as a foundation for enterprise AI, where shared context may matter more than standalone chatbot intelligence. The approach reflects a broader trend toward agent platforms that combine memory, permissions, and operational workflows rather than simply adding AI prompts to existing apps.
