Currently, Asana AI can retrieve and quote from task comments and conversations, but cannot provide direct links to specific comments within tasks. This creates friction when users want to navigate directly to referenced conversations.
Current Limitation:
-
Asana AI can link to tasks using syntax like Task Name
-
But cannot provide comment-specific links like
app.asana.com/0/project/task/comment/[comment-id]?focus=true -
Users must manually scroll through long comment threads to find specific exchanges
Requested Feature:
Enable Asana AI to generate direct comment links when referencing specific messages, similar to how it currently handles task and project @-mentions.
Use Case Example:
When a user asks “did I ask Jaseem to update the optimization doc?”, Asana AI could respond with both the context AND direct links to the specific comments where this request occurred, allowing immediate navigation to the relevant conversation.
Business Value:
-
Reduces time spent searching through long task histories
-
Improves workflow efficiency for users managing complex projects
-
Enhances the utility of Asana AI as a work management assistant
-
Particularly valuable for tasks with extensive collaboration (common in enterprise workflows)
Technical Implementation:
Extend the current @-mention linking system to include comment IDs alongside existing task, project, and user references.
