Asana Acquires StackAI to Let AI Agents Execute Across Every Enterprise System

"General-purpose agents talk; specialized agents act."

Asana announced the completed acquisition of StackAI on May 28, 2026 for $75 million, adding cross-system workflow execution to a platform that has been repositioning itself as the operating system for human-agent teams.

They also addressed the most common failure mode of enterprise AI deployments: agents that can reason but cannot act across the systems where work actually gets done.

StackAI is a no-code AI workflow platform built specifically for that problem. It connects AI agents to enterprise systems through bidirectional sync, reading from and writing to Salesforce, AWS, Docusign, Oracle, Slack, GSuite, and industry applications.

This allows agents to complete end-to-end business processes rather than generating outputs that humans then have to manually move between systems, according to the press release.

The platform has been deployed across financial services, healthcare, and professional services, industries where governance, security, and reliability requirements are highest.

"StackAI was built on a simple conviction: AI creates ROI for enterprises when agents can specialize and reach into the systems where business actually runs," said Tony Rosinol, StackAI co-founder. "General-purpose agents talk; specialized agents act."

What the Combination Delivers

Asana brings business context including the Work Graph, which contains the accumulated history, ownership, and context of every project and workflow across an organization's teams.

StackAI brings execution capability with the ability to reach across enterprise systems and take action. Neither is sufficient alone.

Asana's AI Teammates serve as the bridge between the two layers. They pull context from the Work Graph into StackAI workflows, trigger cross-system actions, and return the resulting data back into Asana, creating a loop where AI agents operate within the flow of real work rather than parallel to it.

While most AI tools today are designed for one person working with one agent, Asana's multiplayer architecture allows many people to interact with and improve a single agent through approvals, handoffs, and shared plans.

Asana's internal proof of concept demonstrated the combination in practice. StackAI agents pulled live data across five marketing systems, summarized the insights, and handed the work to AI Teammates, a process that was completed in minutes.

CEO Dan Rogers described the result as transforming the company's SEO spend process. "We were blown away, and we think our customers will be too," he said.

The acquisition comes at a difficult moment for Asana on public markets. The company has lost more than half its market cap since the introduction of ChatGPT, a decline that accelerated with the departure of founder Dustin Moskovitz as CEO last March.

Revenue has continued to grow, and new CEO Dan Rogers has staked the company's recovery on its human-agent products.

StackAI had raised just under $20 million before the acquisition, including a $16 million Series A from Gradient, Epakon Capital, Lobby VC, LifeX Ventures, and Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch.
