Summary
Asana, a workplace management company, has lost about half of its market value since the AI boom began. To revamp its business, Asana has acquired Stack AI, a no-code AI agent builder, for $75 million. This acquisition aims to position Asana as a platform for managing AI agents alongside human workers. Asana’s core business model is under pressure to adapt to the AI age, as AI can increasingly do the work that SaaS products were built to do. The company’s stock has fallen from $19 to a low of $5.38 over the past year.

The numbers tell one story.
Asana’s acquisition of Stack AI is a bet on a future where AI agents are fully immersed in the workplace. CEO Dan Rogers is pitching Asana as the coordination layer that makes human-agent collaboration work at enterprise scale. The company’s AI tools, such as AI Studio and AI Teammates, now account for over 17% of new ARR. However, Asana faces tough competition from companies like Salesforce and ServiceNow, which are also building cross-system agent orchestration capabilities.
Asana is becoming the operating system for human-agent teams.
