Hi Asana community,
We wanted to share something we’re currently building and get feedback from people who use Asana every day.
What we’re building
We’re building Gennie, a voice-based assistant that works alongside tools like Asana to make task capture easier when typing isn’t convenient.
The core idea is simple:
-
Tasks and updates often come up during calls, meetings, or quick discussions
-
Those tasks are usually added to Asana later
-
Sometimes they’re delayed, forgotten, or lose context
Gennie acts as an input layer, not a replacement. You speak a task or update, and it gets added to Asana with the right details. Asana remains the system of record.

Why we’re looking into this
Even with all the great features Asana already has, rules, templates, and mobile access, we’ve noticed one thing still trips people up: getting tasks into Asana at the exact moment they come up.
In our own work, tasks often surface:
-
Mid-meeting
-
In quick calls or hallway conversations
-
While we’re deep in something else and don’t want to switch tabs
By the time we come back to add them properly, some details are fuzzy… or the task never makes it in at all.
Where we think this could help
We’re especially thinking about moments like:
-
When someone mentions an action item during a call
-
When you need to add a quick follow-up and don’t want to break focus
-
When context switching feels more expensive than the task itself
That’s where we’re experimenting with voice as a lighter way to capture things.
Would love your honest take
We’re still early and genuinely curious how this matches real Asana workflows:
-
When do tasks most often not get added right away for you?
-
Does voice-based capture sound useful in your day-to-day work, or not really?
-
Are there Asana-native features or integrations you already rely on for this?
Happy to answer questions, explain what we’re thinking, or just hear why this wouldn’t work for your team; that feedback is just as helpful.
Thanks for reading.
