Asana completes StackAI acquisition to boost enterprise AI agents

Asana completed its acquisition of StackAI and used the deal to sharpen a bigger claim: enterprise AI is moving from task help to operational control. The company said StackAI’s no-code platform can build and govern AI agents that run across systems such as Salesforce, Oracle, DocuSign and AWS, giving Asana a way to push beyond task generation into execution.

The practical shift matters for managers and IT buyers because StackAI is built for the messy work that lives between tools. Asana said the platform can connect ERP, CRM and ITSM systems, run multi-agent workflows through bi-directional sync, and support processes such as customer support, IT service requests and compliance workflows. In Asana’s view, that means an AI agent is no longer just answering questions or drafting a task list. It can move an approval forward, pull data from one system, update another and hand off the next step with more context and governance.

Asana said StackAI is based in San Francisco and serves customers in financial services, healthcare and professional services, sectors where security and reliability are central buying criteria. The company also described a proof-of-concept in which StackAI transformed an SEO spend process in minutes by pulling live data from five marketing systems, summarizing the findings and handing the work to AI Teammates trained by human counterparts. Asana said AI Teammates will act as the bridge between its Work Graph and StackAI workflows, tying together human assignments and agent execution inside one operating model.

The acquisition also deepened Asana’s push to reposition itself as the operating system for human-agent teams. Chief executive Dan Rogers said the deal accelerated the roadmap and marked a new stage for human-agent work. StackAI’s founders, Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno, are both MIT PhDs and are joining Asana. StackAI was founded in 2023, had about 55 employees and had raised roughly $16 million to $16.6 million before the sale. TechCrunch reported the purchase price at $75 million.

The deal landed alongside Asana’s fiscal first-quarter 2027 results, which showed adjusted earnings of 10 cents a share, up from five cents a year earlier, and revenue of $205.1 million, a 9.5% increase that topped expectations. Asana also said non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 11.5%, and in-quarter net retention reached 97% for the fourth straight quarter, reinforcing the company’s bet that enterprise software can still gain ground by making AI do real work across the systems companies already use.
