Asana has acquired StackAI for $75 million as part of its strategy to become an AI-native workplace platform. StackAI’s founders, Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno, will join Asana as part of the acquisition. The move aligns with Asana’s broader AI pivot, aiming to develop its platform as "the operating system for human-agent teams." The announcement was made Thursday afternoon during Asana’s earnings and investor call. StackAI, built as an AI workflow-automation system, designs agents to operate within existing business systems, pulling data from platforms like Salesforce, Slack, and Gsuite. The company, part of Y Combinator’s Winter ’23 cohort, has faced competition from tools like Zapier and AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic. StackAI had raised nearly $20 million, with most of it coming from a recent $16 million Series A round. Funding included contributions from Gradient, Epaklon Capital, Lobby VC, LifeX Ventures, and Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch. While users are familiar with Asana’s work management system, the company has introduced AI-oriented products like AI Studio and AI Teammates. Asana sees its deep integration into corporate workflows as a key advantage, enabling context and training data extraction. Asana has struggled on public markets since ChatGPT’s launch, losing over half its market cap. However, revenue has grown steadily, and new leadership is confident its human-agent products will help it recover. "This acquisition accelerates our roadmap and takes us into the next phase of human-agent work," said CEO Dan Rogers. "We’re already seeing real momentum with AI Teammates and AI Studio … StackAI now lets them go further, agentifying the most complex business processes end-to-end." *Source: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/28/asana-acquires-no-code-agent-builder-stack-ai/)*
