Asana

Asana is named in Can software companies survive the AI boom? as a project-management SaaS example in Daniel Newman’s discussion of AI pressure on traditional software companies.

The source uses Asana as part of a category-level argument: project-management tools may face earlier AI substitution pressure than enterprise systems that hold sensitive records, transactions, supply-chain state, or HR data.
