Moveworks integrates AI with Asana for workflow automation

Working closely with high-tech clients at Asana, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when AI agents are expected to handle work on their own and why they often fail. Most AI agents fail when left alone. In simulated office tests, top models succeed at less than 35% of tasks (Carnegie Mellon study), simple actions often send them off course. Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027 due to cost, risk, or low value (Gartner). The problem isn’t AI. It’s isolated AI. Agents need context, checkpoints, and humans in the loop. Organisations that treat AI as teammates instead of tools will unlock real productivity. Key actions for success: ✅ Give context, not just commands 🚗 Keep humans in the driver’s seat 🔶 Make agents collaborators, not tools 🌐 Lock down the data AI agents are coming. The question is whether they’ll fail as isolated tools OR thrive as partners. As our CEO Dan Rogers reminds us: “The answer is not autonomous agents. The answer is teammates. The answer is human–AI collaboration.” See what AI can do for your teams: https://lnkd.in/e8qbMJ2i

🎯 The bottom-up AI playbook that actually works At AI ROI, Leo Casado from Autodesk shared something that nailed it for me during his "Building the Business Case for AI" session. Thanks Leo for the success sharing! Most companies are trying to force AI adoption top-down, which is a typical, traditional Corporate Innovation approach. But the orgs getting real ROI? They're doing it backwards. Here's the proven 3-phase bottom-up approach: Phase 1: Individual mastery 🧠 Start with prompting, simple agents, custom GPTs. Leo mentioned one team that standardized QBR (quarterly business result) creation by turning quarterly business reviews from week-long projects into much quicker tasks. The catch? The content is great, but sometimes the quality isn't as refined. That's where human review comes in. Phase 2: Team workflows ⚙️ This is where it gets interesting. Teams start sharing their wins. Leo gave a common example we see: messy contact data from multiple countries that would've taken weeks to clean manually. One team member exported the JSON, fed it to ChatGPT for cleanup, then re-imported. Result? Better segmentation, higher conversions, fewer unsubscribes. Phase 3: Enterprise automation 🚀 The holy grail. The example: When a webinar or call ends, a webhook triggers the follow-up, summaries flow into dashboards, and the CRM is updated. This is a full orchestration that saves 25 minutes per sales rep per call, which, depending on the org, could compound significantly. Leo mentioned this requires "strong partnership with engineering" and is creating a new role: GTM engineers. These are marketers who understand tools, data, automation, AND have comp tied to performance. Why I believe bottom-up wins with the right culture: Your company's productivity multiplies when you share your agent or use case with a peer in the same role. This way you let success stories spread organically. People see their colleague saving hours and think "I want that too." The reality check: This isn't another software rollout. As Leo put it - It takes more coaching, more change management, and a lot of anxiety-reduction. Most leadership teams want to skip to Phase 1 and 2. But without individual proficiency and team-level workflows, enterprise automation just becomes expensive tech debt that doesn't get adopted. Curious to hear of any Canadian companies that are working through Phases 1 and 2? And who are Canada's early GTM engineers??? #AIImplementation #AIStrategy #ChangeManagement

Why Notion Agents Are the Sleeper AI Productivity Tool of 2025 OK - I've tested dozens of AI productivity tools over the past few years: and of course 2025 - has been the year of AI Agents… To be honest: most promise to revolutionize your workflow. Few deliver. But Notion Agents? This feels different. For the first time, I'm working with AI that actually understands my business, my partnerships, my content process, and my entire knowledge base. let me explain… 1️⃣ The Problem with Most AI Tools Most AI assistants are context-blind, or at least, context-limited. You ask for help with content creation, and it sounds nothing like your voice. You need partnership advice, and you have to re-explain everything in every conversation. The promise was always that AI would understand our work deeply—but without access to our actual systems, that remained unfulfilled. 2️⃣ What Makes Notion Agent Different Multiple AI Models You get access to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini—using the strengths of each model depending on your task. Deep Workspace Context Notion Agent has full access to your workspace—projects, knowledge base, notes, databases, and documentation. When I ask for help with a YouTube script, it references my past videos and style guide. When making partnership decisions, it knows the full history. It's like having a brilliant assistant who's read everything you've ever documented. AI Connectors Across Your Stack Through AI connectors, Notion Agent integrates with Slack, Google Suite, Microsoft Teams, and other tools. It can reference conversations in Slack, documents in Google Drive, and my entire Notion workspace simultaneously. and soon - Notion Mail and Notion Calendar deeper integrations will allow agent to write and manage emails and appointments for you! 3️⃣ My AgentOS Template System I built AgentOS—a template system with six specialized AI modes: Workspace Assistant, Productivity Coach, Decision Coach, Goal Coach, Notes Transformer, and Content Writer. Each mode is configured with specific instructions and relevant databases, turning Notion Agent into a specialized team of assistants. Come Try It: I've created a full demo video here: https://lnkd.in/eiFeq9Wc - walking through setup, real use cases, and how to personalize Notion Agent for your workflow. Get the AgentOS template at https://lnkd.in/ewexwNS2 and watch the demo on my YouTube channel. If you take AI or your Notion workspace seriously—or if you've built systems for tasks, projects, knowledge management, and content creation—Notion Agent might be the missing piece that brings it all together. Cheers all. Simon
