How to spend your Asana AI Studio credits wisely

When you start using Asana AI Studio, you’ll quickly realize one thing: you need to set things up properly in order to use your credits in the most efficient way possible.

Here’s how to make them last (and keep your CFO happy):

:one: Pick the right model

Every AI Studio rule can use a different model.

• Expensive models can be great, but start with the cheapest one.

• If needed, move up until you find the sweet spot between cost and quality.

:two: Disable what you don’t need

Don’t pay for extras you won’t use:

:cross_mark: Web search (unless it’s essential)

:cross_mark: Reading attachments (unless truly needed)

:cross_mark: Loading unrelated project content

:three: Tighten your rule conditions

The more specific your conditions, the fewer wasteful runs.

This works best when your tasks are well-structured:

• Clear task types

• Proper due dates

• Correct assignees

Anything to help you distinguish a task that needs automation from one that doesn’t will be really useful.

:four: Use a “cheap filter” first

If you want to run an expensive automation, use a low-cost rule first to triage tasks. Only send the right ones to the pricier process.

AI Studio is powerful — but only if it’s targeted.

Think sniper rifle, not fire hose. :bullseye:
