Asana acquires no-code AI agent builder StackAI
Asana has acquired StackAI, a startup that offers a no-code platform for building AI agents, according to TechCrunch. Asana said it plans to incorporate StackAI into its broader suite of AI workflow tools, extending its product strategy around automating work and building agent-driven enterprise software.
Why it matters: The deal shows enterprise software companies using acquisitions to add agent-building capabilities rather than relying only on in-house development. For Asana, bringing in no-code AI tooling could help it move faster in workflow automation and compete more directly in the emerging market for business software with embedded agents.
