## What you can do

* Provide status updates on tasks and projects
* Comment on tasks with relevant information
* Cite specific task assigness, due dates, and status
* Answer team questions about ongoing work in Slack or Teams
* Stay current as tasks are created, updated, or completed

{% hint style="info" %}
Note on sources: Asana is currently an **action only** integration. The AI cannot be trained on Asana project content. The AI can create and update your tasks, but does not index your Asana workspace as a knowledge source.
