AI features read attachments from GoogleDrive, OneDrive, and SharePoint

Hi Community, :waving_hand:

We’re excited to share an update that expands the capabilities of Asana’s AI features. AI can now read attachments from Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint to provide better workflow guidance and smarter task summaries. While this capability is currently available only in AI Studio (in the guidance block and when rules run on tasks that have attachments), it lays the foundation for future integrations with other Asana AI features.

What does this feature do? :gear:

With this launch, AI will now be able to read attachments from these platforms in two key areas:

:backhand_index_pointing_right: AI Workflow Guidance: Attach relevant documents (e.g., a bug triage rubric in a Google Doc) to provide richer context for smart rules and workflows.
:backhand_index_pointing_right: File Picker on Task Attachments: When using AI-powered actions like “Summarize Task,” Asana AI will now consider information from attached files to provide more comprehensive insights.

AI reads file attachments:

EDIT: The rollouts for both Google Drive and OneDrive/SharePoint have now been completed.

Thank you!

Do you know if that also includes Smart Summaries please?

Hi @Arthur_BEGOU, great question! This isn’t possible just yet. Only AI Studio currently supports this capability. That said, this is just the beginning, and we do hope to expand it to other AI-powered features like smart chat and smart summaries in the near future (though we don’t have an ETA to share yet).

We’ll make sure to keep you all updated as things evolve. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all :waving_hand:

I’m facing a weird limitation with this feature.

Case 1 = File added by internal user - AI is available

Filed 2 (Same file) added by Guest - AI is not available

Is it known?
@Richard_Sather (Master of Limitations), does that ring a bell please? :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @Arthur_BEGOU , I think that makes sense because guests don’t get any access to any AI features.

Hey @Richard_Sather
Thanks for your answer

What I think is weird, is that it’s not about giving guests access to AI features, it is about allowing a Smart workflow (created by license users) to use that file, when the rule creator has the proper access rights on the file.

It would be like saying rules can’t use input from guests (because guests can’t create rules):person_shrugging:
