AI Chatbot reformatting is excellent... can we tap this resource via Studio automations?

Hello all!

Lately I have been using an AI Studio automation to comb through a Google Document every day and update an Asana task description with text from the document. It also populates custom fields accordingly when changes are made. This is an attempt to bridge colleagues preferred working methods in the least disruptive way possible.

One issue I run into is accurately translating the pleasant formatting from the Google Doc into the task description. The AI Agent is successful and identifying changes and updating the task, but not at mimicking the formatting.

You know what does an excellent job at fixing this formatting? The AI Chatbot within the task description! When I use AI Assist to recommend edits > format, the description is perfectly accommodated, including headers, page breaks, charts and emojis.

I’ve tried to cue the AI Studio automation via the prompt guidance to “Ensure the description is formatted optimally for display within Asana’s rich text editor, mirroring the quality of Asana’s internal formatting AI Assistance agent” but it’s not perfect.

Does anyone have suggestions for getting prompting accurate formatting transposition OR triggering the AI Assist chatbot?

I feel like Further Markdown Support may be related, as it would transform all formatting into pure text manipulation. And it may make it easier to include formatting instructions in (text based) prompts.

If it’s possible (and I’m not sure if it is), my guess would be through the API.

@Phil_Seeman what do you think?

The API does have support for Asan rich text in the description, but I’m not sure how you would avail yourself of that via AI Studio, beyond the prompting you’re already giving it.
