Asana, the global work management platform, today announced it has completed the acquisition of StackAI, a San Francisco-based no-code platform for building artificial intelligence agents, in a move that strengthens the company's position as an AI-native workplace platform.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, though sources familiar with the matter indicate the acquisition price was approximately $75 million.
"This acquisition accelerates our roadmap and marks the next phase of human-agent work," Asana Chief Executive Dan Rogers said in a statement. "StackAI now lets them go further, agentifying the most complex business processes end-to-end, across every system and tool their business runs on."
No-Code AI Agent Building Enters Mainstream
Based in San Francisco, StackAI sells software that lets companies design, test, deploy and govern custom AI agents without writing code. The platform connects to enterprise applications such as Salesforce, Oracle, DocuSign and Amazon Web Services, then reads and writes data across them so a single workflow can move through multiple systems on its own.
StackAI says customers in financial services, healthcare and professional services use it to automate processes including customer support, IT service requests and compliance reviews. The technology adds the execution layer that carries workflows into outside systems, with Asana supplying the project context, ownership records and approvals that govern them.
Founders Bring MIT Expertise to Asana
StackAI was founded by Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno, both of whom hold doctorates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Both founders join Asana as part of the deal, and the product will continue to operate under its own brand.
"General-purpose agents talk; specialized agents act," Rosinol said. "Joining Asana is the moment our offering scales. We bring the cross-system workflow engine, Asana brings a company's entire business context, memory, team workflows and governance."
The acquisition represents Asana's growing architecture for human-agent work, which now has three clear layers. AI Studio handles automations for Asana. AI Teammates let humans and agents work together inside the flow. StackAI creates AI agents that can read, write, and execute tasks within hundreds of systems and apps where work occurs.
Why This Matters for Enterprise Workflows
This matters because the workflows that drive outcomes rarely stay inside one tool, according to Asana executives. Customer onboarding, contract review, and financial close all cross systems. StackAI is already proven with enterprise customers in financial services, healthcare, and professional services, and inside Asana it brings that execution into the same context, permissions, and memory as the work itself.
Strong Financial Performance Accompanies Announcement
Asana disclosed the acquisition alongside its fiscal 2027 first-quarter results, which showed strong performance across key metrics. Adjusted earnings came in at 10 cents per share, up from five cents a year in the same quarter, and revenue rose almost 10% year-over-year, to $205.1 million, topping guidance. Analysts were expecting seven cents per share on revenue of $203.9 million.
The company narrowed its reported losses, posting a net loss of $14.4 million against a $40 million loss in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating margin reached a record 11.5%, up from 4.3%.
Asana ended the quarter with 26,103 customers spending $5,000 or more a year, up 7% year-over-year, and 817 spending at least $100,000, up 12%. The company's share price rose more than 3% in late trading following the announcement.
Forward Guidance Includes StackAI Impact
For its fiscal second quarter, Asana expects revenue of $213 million to $215 million. The company also lifted its full-year revenue guidance to $855.5 million to $863.5 million, with the StackAI deal expected to add about 50 basis points of growth.
Bringing StackAI into Asana means customers can now execute their most complex, cross-functional workflows end-to-end, with humans and AI agents working together to get things done, according to company leadership.
AI Workflows Become Central to Product Strategy
The acquisition comes as Asana continues expanding its AI capabilities through regular product releases. The company's spring 2025 release helped teams move faster with prebuilt AI workflows, offering new AI-powered templates and automations that make it easier to set up, customize, and scale best practices.
AI Studio now includes powerful new capabilities that make automations more contextual, responsive, and effective. Teams can automate common steps with prebuilt AI rules, enhance workflows with AI that reads files from Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint, and bring in the latest context with AI-powered web search.
Enterprise Adoption Accelerates
StackAI's enterprise customer base includes major organizations in regulated industries requiring robust governance and security controls. The platform's ability to connect with enterprise systems while maintaining proper permissions and audit trails makes it particularly valuable for organizations deploying AI at scale.
The product will continue operating under its own brand, allowing existing StackAI customers to maintain continuity while gaining access to Asana's broader work management ecosystem.
Competitive Landscape Shifts
The acquisition positions Asana against other enterprise work management platforms increasingly incorporating AI capabilities. By bringing cross-system AI agent execution in-house, Asana differentiates itself from competitors relying on third-party integrations for similar functionality.
Asana framed the acquisition as part of its broader AI pivot, building its platform into "the operating system for human-agent teams."
What's Next for Asana Customers
Asana plans to use StackAI's technology to extend its push into agent-driven work. The company has invested heavily over the past year building AI capabilities enabling true human-agent collaboration.
With Asana AI now included in every paid plan, teams can start building workflows right away. Starting in June, AI Studio Basic will roll out to all paid tiers, giving teams access to advanced automation tools.
Teams from HR and finance to legal and operations can explore AI workflows tailored to their unique goals. The StackAI acquisition represents a significant step in making complex, cross-system workflows accessible to non-technical users.
Industry Implications
The acquisition reflects a broader trend as companies increasingly view AI as a fundamental architectural component. Work management platforms, CRM systems, and enterprise resource planning tools are racing to incorporate AI agent capabilities executing work across multiple systems.
Asana's move signals the next generation of enterprise software will be built around human-agent collaboration rather than human-only workflows. Companies integrating AI agents into work management processes stand to gain significant productivity advantages over competitors relying on manual processes.
