Asana buys Stack AI to fix its relevance problem
asana acquired stack ai to build its 'human-agent' operating system after losing half its value since chatgpt launched.
asana purchased stack ai, a startup that raised nearly $20m to build agents connecting systems like salesforce and slack, to enhance its ai studio product. founders tony rosino and bernard aceituno joined asana to help transition the platform into an 'operating system for human-agent teams'. this acquisition signals a defensive pivot after asana lost over 50% of its market cap since the generative ai boom began. the company now bets that specialized, context-aware agents will succeed where broader productivity tools have threatened its dominance.
