Smart summaries for tasks
Available on Asana Starter, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ tiers, as well as legacy tiers Premium, Business, and Legacy Enterprise.
Smart summaries for tasks allow users to get highlights from task descriptions and comments by summarizing task content and pulling out key action items as subtasks.
Summarize task content
- Open the task details pane and select the AI assist options icon from the rich text toolbar.
- Choose Summarize task from the drop-down menu.
- Asana AI will generate a preview, and once the summary is available, you can choose to Discard, Copy or Edit before posting as a comment.
Note
Content generated via task summaries can only be summarized at the task level.
Create subtasks
- Open the task details pane and select the AI assist options icon from the rich text toolbar.
- Choose Draft subtasks from the drop-down menu.
- Asana AI will generate suggested subtasks.
- Once available, you can choose to Discard or Add subtasks.
Smart summaries for projects
Available on Asana Starter, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ tiers, as well as legacy tiers Premium, Business, and Legacy Enterprise.
Smart summaries for projects keep you updated on what teams have been working on. In the Overview tab, you can find a summary of recent activity in a project without checking each task individually. This summarizes discussions, decisions, and completed work in one place so it’s easy to scan and jump back into a project. You can choose to include Risk reports in your project summary and choose whether to receive them regularly.
Using smart summaries for projects:
- Open the Overview tab of your project on mobile or web.
- Find Project summary in the right pane on web or Overview tab on the app, and select View summary.
- Once Asana AI has generated the project summary, you will receive an email notification or push notification containing the generated output.
- You can regenerate a project summary if you want to review different outputs.
Smart summaries for portfolios
Available on Asana Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ tiers.
Use smart summaries for portfolios to review recent portfolio activity. From the portfolio Progress tab, you can find a digest of recent activity in a portfolio that summarizes task activities that have occurred within the projects in a portfolio. The summary will provide an overview of recent activities, like discussions, decisions, and work completed, in one place so it's easily scannable and provides valuable insights to jump back into a portfolio. Smart summaries for portfolios allows you to stay better informed and get up to speed on notable changes quickly, without needing to descend into each project in the portfolio to see what has happened.
Using smart summaries for portfolios:
- Open your portfolio and navigate to the the Progress tab
- Find the Portfolio summary widget at the top and select View summary
- Once Asana AI has generated the summary, you will receive an email notification containing the generated output
- You can regenerate a smart summary by clicking Refresh summary if you wish to review different outputs
- To subscribe to a recurring summary, turn on the Notify me automatically toggle in the bottom left corner of the portfolio summary widget. You should receive a smart summary roughly once per week, as long as there has been sufficient recent activity inside the portfolio.
Portfolio summaries capture activities that occurred in projects within that portfolio. If there are projects within the portfolio that the user does not have access to, smart summaries respects the privacy of those projects and does not pull summary information from them. A smart summary is private to the user who generates it.
Smart summaries on Inbox
Available on Asana Starter, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ tiers.
Smart summaries in your Inbox automatically analyze your notifications and provide a concise summary focusing on the most actionable and urgent items. Instead of scrolling through individual notifications, you can quickly understand what needs your attention.
To use smart summaries on Inbox:
- Navigate to your inbox from the left navigation bar
- View the Smart summary that appears at the top of the inbox
- Collapse or expand the summary, or close it altogether
You can customize the time frame of your summary to better fit your workflow needs (1, 3, 7 or 14 days).
Smart summaries in Slack
Stay up to date on task details with smart summaries directly in Slack. These Ai-generated summaries allows teams to get a quick overview of work happening in a task without having to leave their Slack workspace. Visit this Help Center article for more information on Smart summaries in Slack.
To use smart summaries in Slack:
- Copy the task URL and paste it in a Slack channel or direct message.
- A task preview will appear. Click Summarize task to generate a task summary.
The task summary is not visible to other members of the slack channel. It is only visible to the user who requested it. Any member of the Slack channel with access to the task will have the option to summarize the task, however the summary itself is only visible to the user that clicked on the Summarize task button.
Risk reports
Spot risks early and address them on time with Asana risk reports. Risk reports help you identify potential blockers early so you can take action before they impact your project.
From the project’s Overview tab, enable risk reports and click Generate summary. Asana analyzes recent changes to tasks and milestones to surface potential risks, each linked to the relevant work and collaborators. You’ll also see suggested mitigation steps and receive the report in your inbox and email. From the summary, you can copy the report, create follow-up tasks, or add insights to a status update.
Turn on recurring updates to receive new risk reports automatically, and adjust which sections appear anytime through the report settings.
