Asana Acquires Stack AI After Startup Raised Nearly $20 Million

Asana bought workflow-automation startup Stack AI after markets closed Thursday, adding founders Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno as it pushes deeper into AI-driven workplace software.
Stack AI builds agents that work across tools such as Salesforce, Slack and Google Workspace, giving Asana technology to automate more complex business processes end to end.
The deal fits Asana’s broader shift toward an AI-native platform built for “human-agent teams,” extending products it has already launched, including AI Studio and AI Teammates.
PitchBook data shows Stack AI had raised just under $20 million, including a recent $16 million Series A, as it competed with Zapier and AI firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
Asana is making the move while trying to recover from a sharp market slide—its market value has fallen by more than half since ChatGPT’s debut—even as revenue kept growing.
Can Asana's AI pivot reverse its stock decline and truly compete with giants like Microsoft?
Will Asana's AI 'teammates' simplify workflows or just create new management burdens for employees?
