“This acquisition accelerates our roadmap substantially and unlocks the next phase of human-agent work,” Asana CEO Dan Rogers said in a statement. “StackAI gives our customers what they’ve asking for: the ability to orchestrate their most complex business processes end-to-end, across every enterprise system they run on.”
The move fills a key gap in Asana’s broader AI strategy. While the company has already introduced AI Teammates for agent-assisted collaboration and AI Studio for workflow automation, StackAI adds an execution layer capable of interacting directly with enterprise systems in real time.
According to Asana, StackAI supports bi-directional integrations with platforms including Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, Docusign, databases, document repositories, and industry-specific applications. The system can pull information from those platforms, trigger workflows, and coordinate actions across multiple business tools simultaneously.
Asana framed the acquisition around the idea that modern work increasingly spans disconnected software environments rather than existing inside a single application. The company said StackAI’s infrastructure allows AI agents and automations to operate across customer support systems, IT service management tools, compliance workflows, and operational software.
“This is the first operating system where an entire business can run all of its human-agent workflows—no matter which systems, agents, data, or teams they touch,” Rogers said. He added that long-term enterprise value will go to platforms capable of coordinating operational work “inside the flow of real operational work.”
Founded in 2022 by MIT PhD students Toni Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno, StackAI focused heavily on regulated industries where security, governance, and reliability requirements are especially strict. The startup said it has more than 130 enterprise customers, including BAE Systems, LifeMD, and Raiffeisen Bank.
That customer base gives Asana a stronger foothold with enterprise buyers that often move cautiously around AI adoption, particularly in industries where compliance and infrastructure reliability are critical. Before the acquisition, StackAI raised more than $19 million from investors including Y Combinator, Lambda, Gradient, Soma Capital, True Capital Management, Epakon Capital, Beat Ventures, and Weaviate CEO Bob van Luijt. The company announced its Series A funding round in May 2025.
The deal highlights how quickly enterprise software companies are moving to embed AI agents directly into operational systems instead of treating AI as a standalone assistant or simple productivity add-on.
For Asana, the addition of StackAI moves the company closer to positioning its platform as a centralized coordination layer for both human workers and AI agents operating across large enterprise environments.
The announcement was released alongside Asana’s Q1 FY2027 earnings report.
