Hi Asana & AI enthusiasts 👋 [Dash](https://help.asana.com/s/article/chat-with-dash?language=en_US) is now live for everyone. For most users, it will be the **first door into agentic Asana** , before they build an AI Teammate. So the real question is: **what do you ask it? Where are the best use-cases?** At i.DO, our team have been testing Dash since the beta in July. Here are the use cases we tried, **rated by us** , with what they cost. ⭐ = disappointing → ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = ask it today 🟢 = free action · 💳 = uses 1 Request * * * ## 🏆 Ask it right away **Fix a mistake across dozens of tasks** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (🟢💳 depending on the complexity) A side effect left 40 invoice tasks with wrong dates. @Bastien_Siebman asked Dash to correct them. Done in 5 minutes, instead of a morning of manual edits. **Process a batch of your own tasks** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (🟢💳 depending on the complexity) @Filippo_Baj_iDO gave Dash a list of pending tasks. It worked through them and left a comment on each one. **Find what is hard to find** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🟢 The task you know exists but can’t name. The project someone mentioned once. This is where Dash replaces your search bar. **Read your calendar and create meetings** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💳 For me, the integrations were the biggest surprise of the beta. Dash reads your agenda, creates events, and connects your Asana work to your actual week. **Document an existing setup** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🟢 “Summarise the rules in this project for a handover.” “Which custom fields are not used?” @Rebecca_Hassett shared [a great post](https://forum.asana.com/t/how-im-using-dash-to-train-new-asana-admins-power-users/1156825) on using this to train new admins. * * * ## 🟧 Works, but check the output **Work across a large portfolio** ⭐⭐⭐ The results were good, often better than the old AI Chat. But the limits are still fuzzy: how many projects at once, how much context it really reads. **Ask how to build something in Asana** ⭐⭐⭐ 🟢 Useful, not always right. Dash once said a need could only be solved with AI, when a simple manual rule would do it. Keep your brain on. **Hand work to an AI Teammate** ⭐⭐ 💳 On paper, the big difference with the old AI Chat. In practice, Dash rarely proposed it, and we were never sure if we had to ask explicitly. * * * ## 🔻 Not exactly there yet **“What should I work on today?”** ⭐⭐ 🟢 The suggested question everyone tries first. @Cyril-iDO asked it from inside a task and got “No incomplete tasks are due today”. From My Tasks, a different answer. **The page you ask from is the context.** **“Is anything urgent in my Inbox?”** ⭐ 🟢 Asked from the Inbox, answered from My Tasks. **“List all the Audit sessions of this client”** ⭐ 🟢 Asked from inside a task. Dash replied: “Give me the links so I can list them…” 🤣 **“Did that cost me a Request?”** ⭐ Two conversations, two opposite answers. Don’t ask Dash about billing (vote for that product idea [here](https://forum.asana.com/t/dash-clarifying-if-a-message-costs-a-request/1156622)). * * * ## 💡 Our tips for your first week 1. **Ask from the right page.** Day questions from My Tasks, project questions from the project. Dash reads where you are. 2. **Start with a low-risk bulk action.** That is where the “wow” happens, and most of it is free. 3. **Keep the tab open on long jobs.** We noticed progress pausing when the tab was in the background. 4. **Give a thumbs up or down.** The feedback buttons next to each answer go straight to the Dash product team. * * * **Open to your ideas and feedback** * * * **I am Arthur | Asana Expert ✨** I help teams get more from Asana + AI [Asana Expert | Licenses, Training & Consulting Services](https://bit.ly/3YFfjTh) ---

Great summary @Arthur_BEGOU, i’ll be exploring some of these use cases, thank you. Fixing a mistake across a dozen tasks - didn’t know this one, that will come in handy for bulk changes. ---

Thanks for sharing this @Arthur_BEGOU > [@Arthur\_BEGOU](#): > > **Find what is hard to find** Can confirm. This came in super handy last week when I was looking for something ancient. It took two turns back and forth with Dash to find what I needed. I never would have found it otherwise, the terms were so obscure. > [@Arthur\_BEGOU](#): > > Document an existing setup I’ll have to try this next week. > [@Arthur\_BEGOU](#): > > Read your calendar and create meetings I’m curious: In which direction do you have it working? ---

Hi, @Arthur_BEGOU . Dash is quite interesting. Here’s a simple use I discovered today; I hope it’s helpful. To check how AI-Studio task creation instructions work, I simply passed the Studio task creation instructions to Dash. I found that it produced the expected results. So far, neither AI credits nor AI requests were consumed. Previously, running Studio’s functionality tests multiple times consumed a large amount of AI credits, which felt wasteful, so this is a great help.
