Create tasks from email
Email Carly to create a new task in any Asana project. Include the task name, description, due date, and assignee — she'll handle the rest.
Update task status without opening Asana
Tell Carly to mark a task as complete, move it to a different section, or change its priority. She'll update it in Asana so you don't have to context-switch.
Get a project summary on demand
Ask Carly for a status update on any project. She'll pull the open tasks, overdue items, and upcoming deadlines and send you a clean summary.
Assign tasks to team members
Forward a request to Carly and tell her who should own it. She'll create the task in Asana, assign it to the right person, and set the due date.
Why teams are using AI to manage Asana
Asana is built for structured project management — tasks, subtasks, sections, due dates, assignees. The problem is that keeping everything current requires constantly opening the app, clicking through projects, and manually updating fields. For managers juggling multiple projects, that overhead adds up fast. Tasks go stale, statuses lag behind reality, and the board stops reflecting what's actually happening.
AI tools for Asana fix this by letting you create, update, and query tasks without switching into the app. Instead of opening Asana to log a task after a meeting, you send a quick message and it's done. Instead of clicking through three projects to prep for a standup, you ask for a summary and get it in seconds. The result is an Asana workspace that stays accurate because the friction to update it is close to zero.
How Carly works as your AI Asana assistant
Carly connects to your Asana workspace through OAuth. Once linked, you manage your tasks and projects by emailing or texting Carly — the same way you'd delegate to a virtual assistant.
Need to create a task after a client call? Email Carly the details — task name, project, assignee, due date, priority — and she'll create it in the right Asana project with all the fields filled in. Want to know what's overdue across your team? Ask Carly and she'll pull the data from Asana and send you a clean summary grouped by project and assignee.
This is different from Asana's built-in AI features or browser extensions. Carly works from outside Asana — she's an assistant you message, not a feature inside the app. That means she can also pull context from your email, calendar, or Slack and push it into Asana without you being the go-between. Forward a client email to Carly and she'll extract the action items and create tasks automatically.
Who uses an AI assistant for Asana
Project managers running multiple Asana projects who need a faster way to create tasks and check statuses without living inside the app. Founders who use Asana to coordinate a small team but don't want to spend 20 minutes a day on project management admin. Team leads who want a quick summary of what's overdue or blocked before a standup. If you use Asana but find yourself putting off updates because the app takes too many clicks, Carly removes that friction.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI for Asana?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to your Asana workspace and lets you create tasks, update statuses, assign work, and get project summaries just by sending an email or text. Unlike Asana's built-in AI or browser plugins, Carly works from outside the app — you message her like a colleague, and she handles the Asana work for you.
Can AI automate Asana tasks?
Yes. With Carly, you can email or text instructions like "create a task in the Q2 Launch project, assign to Jamie, due Friday" and Carly will create it in Asana with all the fields filled in. You can also forward emails to Carly and she'll extract action items and create tasks automatically.
How does Carly connect to Asana?
Go to your Carly dashboard, click Connect next to Asana, and authorize access. Once connected, Carly can create tasks, update statuses, and pull project data from your Asana workspace.
Is Carly different from Asana's built-in AI?
Yes. Asana's built-in AI works inside the app to help with things like writing task descriptions. Carly works from outside Asana — she's an assistant you email or text who can create tasks, update statuses, and pull summaries without you ever opening the app. She can also connect to your calendar, email, Slack, and other tools to push information into Asana automatically.
Can Carly work across multiple Asana projects?
Yes. Carly can access any project in the workspace you authorize. Just mention the project name in your message and she'll know where to create or update the task.
Can I use AI to get Asana project summaries?
Yes. Ask Carly for a status update on any project and she'll pull the open tasks, overdue items, upcoming deadlines, and assignee breakdown from Asana and send you a clean summary over email or text. Great for standup prep or weekly check-ins.
