About Asana
Asana is building the meters and guardrails for its AI Studio credit economy.
Asana's recent releases cluster around two enterprise concerns: making AI Studio credit consumption legible (department-level allocations, builder-side credit signals, domain limit warnings) and tightening governance through RBAC for view and create permissions. The credit work is monetization plumbing — soft limits and usage estimates that help admins plan spend rather than cap it. Alongside that, the team keeps shipping planning and My Tasks refinements that reduce context-switching.
