Hi Asana Community,
Today, I’m excited to introduce Asana’s Winter 2026 Release 
This release brings you customizable automations and prebuilt AI Teammates to help teams reduce the time that it takes to move from planning to delivery. We’re introducing new ways that can empower teams to operate with greater speed and clarity. With collaborative AI, more robust progress tracking, and enhanced automation, this release is designed to eliminate manual friction and accelerate your team’s impact.
See what’s new in the Asana’s Winter 2026 Release below:
Accelerate complex work with prebuilt AI Teammates
-
Speed up results with prebuilt AI Teammates: Drive clarity, alignment, and next steps with ready-to-use, prebuilt AI Teammates like the Campaign Brief Writer, Workflow Optimizer, and Compliance Specialist - each designed to help you and your teams tackle complex workflows. The Campaign Brief Writer turns scattered notes and strategy docs into structured campaign briefs. The Workflow Optimizer quickly identifies and addresses gaps in processes, while the Compliance Specialist ensures work adheres to regulatory standards. These agents can integrate directly in the flow and context of the work for teams across Marketing, Operations, IT, and more. They can enable marketers to move seamlessly from kickoff to execution, operations teams to scale complex processes for faster impact, and IT teams to maintain compliance and audit readiness.
-
Bridge the gap from AI chat to work with the new Asana app in Claude: Turn ideas and concepts into action directly from your conversations with Claude. From a single conversation in Claude, you can check on the status of portfolios, preview project structure, and kick off entirely new projects in Asana.
-
Automate intake directly from Slack with AI Studio: Capture requests where they happen and automatically convert them into structured work in Asana. Teams have the full context and details required to move seamlessly from intake to execution.
Monitor goals with more structured tracking and focus
-
Monitor goal progress with enhanced custom fields on goals: Gain clarity and visibility on goal progress with the ability to sort, categorize, and zoom in on the initiatives that matter most.
-
Capture robust data across projects with expanded custom field limits: Better track key details and report out on complex projects at scale. The expanded limits provide more data points and the capacity needed to operate the different workstreams.
-
Standardize permissions with shared project access with portfolios: Ensure that the right stakeholders have the right access to the right workstreams. Maintain consistent permissions across portfolios and projects.
-
Stay in the zone with modes: The new navigation (coming soon!) helps organize your Asana workspace with more intentionality and by the type of work you’re doing–whether you’re focused on the day-to-day deliverables or managing high-level strategy.
Save time with more flexible, reusable rules
-
Manage complex rule logic with enhancements in the rule builder: The enhanced rule builder makes it simpler to manage intricate rule logic, ensuring your workflows can run smoothly without constant oversight.
-
Eliminate rework with rule duplication: Scale successful workflows in a few clicks with the ability to duplicate rules within and across projects. Save hours on rebuilding or tailoring the process.
-
Optimize performance with automatic AI model selection: Remove the guesswork and build AI-powered rules that work best for you and your team.
