Asana has announced the acquisition of **StackAI**, a fast growing no-code AI workflow platform that helps enterprises build and manage AI agents capable of executing tasks across multiple business systems. The reported **$75 million acquisition** was revealed alongside Asana’s latest quarterly earnings results and marks another major step in the company’s effort to become a leader in enterprise AI automation. The deal will also bring **StackAI co founders Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno** to Asana as the company expands its AI capabilities. > Big news: StackAI is joining [@asana](https://x.com/asana?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)! > > We created StackAI to empower enterprises with secure, powerful agentic workflows that automate manual processes; Asana created the operating system for human-agent teams. > > Now, we’re building the place where humans and AI agents execute… [pic.twitter.com/i3RgH6SSDt](https://t.co/i3RgH6SSDt) > > — StackAI (@stackai) [May 28, 2026](https://x.com/stackai/status/2060094629677031537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## Asana Pushes Further Into Enterprise AI While Asana is best known for its work management software, the company has spent the last few years building AI focused products such as **AI Studio** and **AI Teammates**. These tools help businesses automate repetitive work and create AI powered workflows within the Asana platform. StackAI adds a major missing piece. Unlike many [AI tools](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/ai-tools-usage-statistics/) that operate within a single application, StackAI’s technology allows AI agents to connect with and take action across multiple enterprise systems. This includes platforms used for customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, document management, IT services, and more. The platform supports integrations with systems such as **Salesforce, AWS, Oracle, Docusign, [Slack](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/slack-vs-microsoft-teams-statistics/), Google Workspace, SharePoint**, and industry specific applications. According to Asana, combining StackAI’s workflow engine with its own **Work Graph** architecture will allow businesses to automate complex processes while maintaining context, governance, and visibility across teams. ## Building Human Agent Teams The acquisition fits directly into Asana’s broader vision of creating what it calls the **operating system for human agent teams**. Rather than focusing on a single employee interacting with a single AI assistant, Asana believes the future of work will involve multiple people and multiple AI agents collaborating across departments and software systems. CEO **Dan Rogers** said: “ This acquisition accelerates our roadmap and marks the next phase of human-agent work. We’re seeing real momentum with AI Teammates and AI Studio: customers are augmenting their teams with purpose-built agents that take on everyday work and use AI Studio to build automations around highly repetitive processes like request intake and task routing. StackAI now lets them go further, agentifying the most complex business processes end-to-end, across every system and tool their business runs on. This is an incredibly exciting time for Asana. We’re primed to help enterprises unlock the real productivity promise of AI. Dan RogersCEO – Asana Rogers also revealed that Asana tested StackAI internally and used the technology to automate its [search engine optimization](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/ai-seo-statistics/) spending process by pulling data from multiple marketing systems and coordinating actions through AI-powered workflows. ## StackAI’s Growth and Market Position Founded by **MIT PhDs Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno**, StackAI emerged from **Y Combinator’s Winter 2023 cohort** and quickly gained traction among enterprises in highly regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, and professional services. The company raised nearly **$20 million** in funding, including a **$16 million Series A round** backed by investors such as Gradient, Epakon Capital, Lobby VC, LifeX Ventures, and Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch. Its platform allows businesses to design, test, deploy, and govern AI agents without requiring software development expertise. Rosinol said: “ StackAI was built on a simple conviction: AI creates ROI for enterprises when agents can specialize and reach into the systems where business actually runs. General-purpose agents talk; specialized agents act. So we built a platform to let anyone build agents for manual and important enterprise processes. We then proved ourselves within some of the most heavily-regulated companies in the world. Tony RosinolCo-founder – StackAI ## A Competitive AI Race The acquisition comes at a time when major software companies are racing to establish leadership in AI agents. Companies including **Salesforce, Google, [Zendesk](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/zendesk-statistics/), Monday.com, [Notion](https://sqmagazine.co.uk/how-many-people-work-at-notion/), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Zapier** are all investing heavily in agent based automation technologies. For Asana, the move arrives during a period of transformation. The company recently reported **first quarter revenue of $205.1 million**, up **9.5 percent year over year**, while also raising its full year revenue outlook. However, its stock remains significantly below previous highs as investors look for evidence that AI investments can drive faster growth. By adding StackAI’s technology, Asana hopes to strengthen its position in an increasingly competitive market and provide enterprises with a more powerful way to automate business operations across teams and systems. ## SQ Magazine Takeaway I think this acquisition is about much more than adding another AI feature to Asana. The company is trying to position itself at the center of how businesses use AI every day. What stands out is that StackAI is focused on execution, not just conversation. Many AI tools can generate answers, but fewer can actually take action across multiple business systems. If Asana can successfully combine its workflow data with StackAI’s automation engine, it could become a much stronger player in the enterprise AI market. The real test now is whether customers adopt these AI agents at scale and whether that translates into meaningful revenue growth.
