AI Teammates From Asana Designed to Improve Context Driven Projects

Asana has rolled out a beta version of its new “AI Teammates,” positioning them as collaborators rather than pure automation tools. Built to understand context via Asana’s internal “Work Graph,” these AI agents aim to help employees prioritize tasks and streamline workflows while remaining under human oversight.

• The AI Teammates are tightly integrated with Asana’s Work Graph, giving them context about who is doing what, when, and why.

• Rather than attempting full automation, Asana emphasizes collaboration—arguing that many autonomous agents today fail basic tasks.

• These agents offer memory and adapt over time, learning from interactions to improve assistance.

• They can be tailored to specific functional roles like product launches, marketing, IT support, onboarding, etc.

• Users access the AI Teammates via a conversational chat interface, where the agents instantly understand the context of ongoing work.

With the AI Teammates beta, Asana is betting that the future of work lies not in replacing humans, but in enhancing them through smart collaboration. If successful, this model could redefine how enterprise tools embed AI; less as autonomous actors, more as integrated partners in the workflow. Read More

Figma expands AI capabilities with new MCP server update

Figma has enhanced its design platform by expanding support for AI agents via its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and integrating with the new Figma Make app-builder. This move allows AI models to access underlying code rather than just visual prototypes, improving fidelity in AI-assisted app development.

• The MCP server now enables remote access, letting AI coding agents and IDEs connect without needing the local Figma desktop app.

• AI models can now see and use the actual code behind designs in Figma Make files, not just rendered visuals.

• Initial integrations include support for AI tools and platforms like Anthropic, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

• Upcoming features include a Design Snapshot tool to convert Make snapshots into editable design layers, and AI-prompt editing inside the Figma canvas.

• Figma plans to allow third-party MCP servers to connect to Figma Make in future updates, broadening the ecosystem.

With these enhancements, Figma is pushing to become more deeply interoperable with AI agents, enabling more accurate and seamless transitions from design to code. As it continues to open up its architecture to outside tools and servers, the platform is positioning itself as a central hub in next-generation AI-powered app development workflows. Read more

Integrity Brings Project Managers a Unified Space for Ideas and Execution

Integrity is a modern, web-based workspace that combines notes, visual canvases, and AI chats into one connected environment. Instead of switching between apps like Notion, Miro, and ChatGPT, users can manage their ideas, documents, and conversations in a single, context-aware space. This makes it easier to move from brainstorming to planning to execution without losing track of insights along the way.

• Unified Surfaces: Work seamlessly across notes, canvases, and AI chats, with all content connected in one project tree.

• Context-Aware AI: Run AI conversations that reference your project’s notes and visuals, giving smarter, more relevant results.

• Universal Blocks: Drag and drop text, images, or chats between different surfaces, making content fluid and reusable.

• Multi-Model AI Access: Switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other large language models within the same conversation.

• Future-Ready Roadmap: Upcoming features like AI threads on canvases, unified task management, and publishing tools will expand its collaborative power.

For project managers, Integrity provides a streamlined way to connect strategy, documentation, and AI-powered insights in one place. By reducing app-hopping and making information more fluid, it helps teams stay aligned and focused. As AI becomes a core part of modern workflows, Integrity positions itself as a valuable tool for project leaders who want to save time, organize better, and make smarter decisions with context at their fingertips.
