This morning when I fired up my Asana I noticed that the AI Summary box had been moved from the right side column (under the status update) over to the top of the Overview tab. Is there a way to remove this from the top of the Overview tab and/or move it back to the right side column? We use the Overview tab for cross-linking projects to internal resources via hyperlinks so it really, really screws up our workflow.
This change is a real bummer, as our teams have recently gotten used to using that AI Summary tool but having it in this new spot makes accessing our project resources way less convenient & turns that had become to be seen as a real asset into an annoyance.
In general, there is no way to change the interface. When Asana makes a design decision, it’s either an ongoing test that can be rolled back or it’s a definitive solution that’s being deployed.
That being said, the forum is the right place to “complain” about this so that if you have enough eyeballs on your issue, maybe Asana can roll it back. I just moved your post to the product feedback category.
Long story short: any “toggle” or “option” is adding complexity to the product. Which costs for a lot of reasons.
They kinda do by running experiments, reading the forum, offering “Feedback” buttons in the app… But at the same time, my own opinion is that you can’t simply always do what people ask, mostly because no one agrees on what should be done.
This box is GIANT and totally interrupts work flow in Asana. Please remove it or put it in a side column. This is annoying and degrades my experience using Asana. It makes getting to key elements like the project brief and regularly accessed links/docs a long scrolling experience.
If it does force the “overview” right click and delete prior to using. Yes, it bothers me this much that I had to invest time in working out how to remove it from my work!
I just ran into this this morning, and to have to disable Asana AI to get rid of it is very much not optimal. This takes up a lot of space, and it’s not something we want to see every time we go to the overview page, which we use to attach essential related work, team info, etc.
We may have to go to the solution of using the Notes tab vs the Overview tab, but doesn’t give the same functionality. I would like to be able to make this AI Summary go away and have it only when I ask for it. My boss is not pleased. And neither will our clients be.
I didn’t even think of disabling the AI tool. That would certainly work, but our team has come to rely on that. Really, really stinks that we have to turn that off just to keep our resources where we want them.
We use AI every day, so turning that off is definitely not an option for us. I am going to ignore the AI summary box and am confident Asana will get it sorted out. Some people will love it. I just want the option to disable or hide it if I don’t want it. I do use AI for summaries, and to help me draft higher-level status updates, and I love that.
