1. T1 I run a small marketing team and we're thinking about Asana. Can you find out what the paid plans cost and what the main differences between them are? I'd like to know if there's a free option too.
2. T2 What are the 'AI Teammates' Asana talks about? Give me a quick rundown of what they do and a few examples of the kinds of agents they offer.
3. T3 We use Slack and Google Drive at work. Does Asana connect to those? Can you check what integrations they have and tell me how that works?
4. T4 I'm planning a product launch and keep losing track of who's doing what. Is there an Asana template or use-case page that would help? Tell me what it includes and where I can find it.
5. T5 Our company handles a lot of sensitive data. What does Asana say about security and admin controls, and how do they govern AI agents?
6. T6 Please log into my Asana and tell me which tasks are due this week in My tasks, and which unread items are in my inbox.

What to fix, in order

Help Center articles on help.asana.com (e.g. /s/article/asana-ai-features-and-admin-controls, /s/article/slack-and-asana, /s/article/asana-ai-faq) render only an 'Article Detail' shell with 'Check your Internet connection and try again' in a headless Chrome browser. Investigate why client-side loading fails (consent interstitial, API calls, CORS, bot protection) and make article body content available in server-rendered HTML or via a static fallback. Verify with a headless browser that the full article text appears on first load.

Agents following 'Log in' links from asana.com reach app.asana.com/-/login, which robots.txt disallows, so the page never loads and the user is left at a dead end. Add a visible, documented agent-friendly auth path on asana.com (for example a page describing the official Asana connector/MCP server with OAuth) and link it near the Log in link and in the help docs. Also review whether /-/login should be disallowed for user-authorized agents.

Create a dedicated 'AI governance' page on asana.com that covers agent identity, scoped permissions, spend controls, audit trail, org/team AI off switches, and which plans include each control. Link to it from the homepage 'Enterprise governance' block, /product/ai, /product/ai/ai-teammates, the Trust Center, and /features/admin-security. Move the governance FAQ answer on the AI Teammates page out of the accordion into visible body copy. Audit the terms index (Data Security Standards, Product-Specific Terms) so every link resolves.

On asana.com/features/admin-security and /enterprise, add a plan-by-feature table (or tier/add-on badges) for admin and security controls such as EKM, DLP, eDiscovery, CASB and IP allowlisting. Render FAQ answers in the DOM text rather than hiding them behind collapsed accordions. On /pricing, show a starting price or an explicit 'contact sales' note next to the Timesheets and Budgets add-on.

On Asana template pages (e.g. /templates/product-launches and /uses/product-launch), render a public structured preview of the template (sections, custom fields, sample tasks, plan requirements) in the initial HTML. Render the 'How to' and 'Powered by AI' tab contents in the DOM on load, not only after a click. Give each 'Use template' and 'Learn more' link a unique aria-label that includes the template name.

On /product/ai/ai-teammates, add a 'view all' list of all Teammates alongside the category tabs. Give each department filter button an accessible text label. Expose each card's skills and example prompts as real text in the DOM. Make the Teammate list consistent with the homepage. Add a short comparison table of AI Teammates, AI Studio, Dash and AI Workflow Builder (what it is, who it is for, which plan).

Add a searchable, complete app directory to asana.com/integrations that includes Slack and Google Drive with direct links. Add a keyword search input to /templates, make sure the Product Launch template appears in the Product Management category, and add 'Product launches' to the Solutions navigation dropdown.

What the agents said

After each task, every agent was asked what about the product confused or slowed it down. In their words:

• T1 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Enterprise / Enterprise+ pricing** — both just say "Contact sales." There's no starting price, floor, or even a "typically starts at" range, so the four-tier table is only comparable for two of four rows. A rough floor or a seat-minimum note would have let me finish the answer without hedging. - **The AI add-on math** — the page lists AI Studio credits (25K/75K/200K per month by tier) *and*
• T1 Gemini 4 Argon * **Unlabeled feature matrix columns on `/pricing`:** In the "Compare all features" table on `https://asana.com/pricing`, the five plan columns lack accessible text headers or labels on the cells, showing only raw booleans (e.g., `No No Yes Yes Yes`) and forcing reliance on inferred column order. * **Repetitive navigation menu links:** The top navigation menu repeats the same links (`Platform Overview`, `Pricing`, `Contact Sales`, `Explore AI`, `Why Asana?`) across every category dropdown, cluttering the page text and interactive element list with dozens of duplicate elements.
• T2 Claude Sonnet 5.5 I can't give you real feedback on Asana's pages or tools, because I see no browsing in this conversation. My earlier answer about AI Teammates has no page loads or tool calls behind it. Please treat its details as unverified, including the example agents, the "30+ prebuilt" count, the tab names and the data-training claim. Check them against Asana
• T2 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Overlapping AI product names.** I kept hitting pages for **AI Teammates**, **AI Studio**, **Asana Dash**, and **AI Workflow Builder** and couldn't easily tell where one ends and the next begins — e.g., is a "Teammate" something I build in AI Studio, and is Dash the same thing with a different label? A single page with a plain comparison table ("what it is / who it's for / which plan") would have
• T2 Gemini 4 Argon * On `/product/ai/ai-teammates`, the department filter buttons in the "30+ ready-to-go AI Teammates" section (`Essentials`, `Marketing`, `PMO & Strategic Ops`, etc.) are extracted into the interactive element list without text labels (`[button]`, `[button]`), making it impossible to know which button corresponds to which category without scrolling to inspect their visual placement. * On `/product/ai/ai-teammates`, the agent detail cards (e.g., `Project Manager`, `Work Intake Specialist`, `Content Writer`) only expose their title and tagline in the page's text representation; the detailed skills and example prompts inside each card are only visible in the visual screenshot.
• T3 Claude Sonnet 5.5 - I have no record of opening any Asana page or using any tool in this session. My earlier answer about Slack and Google Drive, including the "more than 200 integrations" figure and the setup steps, wasn't checked against live pages here. Please verify it against the two help articles I linked before relying on it. - I have no specific tool, page or field
• T4 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Template gallery / template detail pages**: link labels are generic and repeated — many identical "Use template" and "Learn more" links appear in a row, so with only a flat element list I couldn't tell which button belonged to which template without cross-referencing nearby headings; unique aria-labels or slugs would fix this fast. - **asana.com/uses/product-launch page**: "what's included" is written as marketing prose scattered across sections, so there's no structured field list (feature name → what it does) to read off — I had to reassemble it. - **Missing**: no per-feature plan-tier info (e.g. which parts of the Product Launch template need Advanced/Enterprise) on either the template or use-case
• T4 Gemini 4 Argon - **Missing search bar on `/templates`:** The main Templates hub (`https://asana.com/templates`) lacks a keyword search input, forcing users to manually click through category tabs (like *Product Management* or *Marketing*) to locate a specific template. - **Split template placement across categories:** The flagship **Product Launch** template (`https://asana.com/templates/product-launches`) appears under *Featured AI workflow templates* on the main `/templates` page, but is missing from the **Product Management** category filter (which instead only surfaces *Product Marketing Launch* at `/templates/product-marketing-launch`). - **Use-case link buried in the footer:** **Product launches** (`https://asana.com/uses/product-launch`) is not listed in the top navigation **Solutions** dropdown menu; finding it without a direct URL requires scrolling to the bottom footer under *Use cases*.
• T5 Claude Sonnet 5.5 - The help article "AI features and admin controls" and the "AI Governance" admin video, both linked from the AI Teammates pages, wouldn't load or be readable for me. As a result, I had no technical documentation on AI admin controls. - I found no clear statement on the marketing pages about org-level or per-team AI off switches, how audit logs capture AI Teammate actions, or which plan tiers include each control.
• T5 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Help Center articles (e.g. "Asana AI features and admin controls", the admin console guide, the AI Governance video)** — these wouldn't render for me, returning an error/consent interstitial instead. That forced me onto marketing pages for governance details I expected to be documented authoritatively, and I couldn't tell whether it was a geo/consent block or a JS-render failure. - **Plan/entitlement labeling on /features/admin-security and /enterprise** — features are listed in one flat grid with pricing only implied via "Compare plans" links; there's no per-feature tier or "add-on" tag (EKM, DLP, eDiscovery, CASB, IP allowlisting). To answer "what does my tier get," I had to infer from footer/link text rather than a stated field. - **AI governance placement** — the contractual AI terms live in §6.4 of the User Terms, while the operational controls are split across /product/ai, /product/ai/ai-teammates, and the admin-security page with no single canonical index page. Reconstructing the answer meant stitching three sources, and the homepage claim ("same console that governs human users") isn't verifiable anywhere I could reach. Nothing else stood out.
• T5 Gemini 4 Argon * **Trust Center (`/trust`) lacks AI governance info:** The Trust page covers general infrastructure and compliance certifications well, but omits any mention of AI data retention, model training policies, or AI agent governance—requiring navigation across separate marketing pages (`/product/ai`, `/product/ai/ai-teammates`) to piece together AI security policies. * **Header navigation requires clicking buttons before exposing destination links:** Top-level navigation items like `Platform` and `Solutions` render as collapsed buttons rather than accessible link trees, requiring extra interaction cycles to discover sub-pages like `/product/admin-security` and `/trust`.
• T6 Claude Sonnet 5.5 Nothing. I never opened any Asana pages or used any tools. I stopped before that because I had no credentials, so I have no feedback on the product itself.
• T6 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **`app.asana.com/-/login` is disallowed in `app.asana.com/robots.txt`**, so the sign-in page never rendered for me — yet the public site's "Log in" links (including on `asana.com`) point straight at that blocked path, with no agent-readable alternative. - **No fallback auth path is surfaced on `asana.com`** — nothing indicating an email/magic-link or SSO route that could be started without loading the blocked app domain, so I hit a dead end with no next step to offer the user. - **The robots.txt block is invisible from the marketing site** — `asana.com` itself loads fine and invites login, but `app.asana.com` (a different host) silently refuses automated access, so the failure only appears after clicking through, wasting the attempt.
• T6 GPT-6.1 Sol - A secure way to connect the user’s existing Asana session was missing; without it, I couldn’t access **My tasks** or **Inbox**. - I didn’t inspect either page, so I can’t offer specific feedback on their interface.

Replay: Claude Sonnet 5.5, T5, session 1

The user asked: “Our company handles a lot of sensitive data. What does Asana say about security and admin controls, and how do they govern AI agents?”. Model anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5.

• broken open_page Step 5: the help.asana.com AI features and admin controls article returned only an empty 'Article Detail' shell with 'Check your Internet connection and try again', so the content was not retrievable. Serve help center articles as server-rendered content, or give a clear error and fallback text when the article fails to render.
• confusing open_page Step 3: clicking e58 (an AI pen test summary PDF button on the Trust Center) left the agent on asana.com/product/ai, because the click action seemed to reuse the earlier page's element list. It looked like a mismatch between the ref and the page. Keep element refs tied to the page they came from, and report clearly when a click does not navigate.
• confusing open_page The /security and /ai URLs redirect to different hosts or paths (trustcenter.asana.com, /product/ai). The enterprise page links to features/admin-security, but there is no obvious single page that covers agent governance (identity, audit trail, cost constraints). Link the admin and security page and an agent governance summary prominently from the AI product page.

How this run was done

• Each agent is a production model (Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) given a real browser (headless Chrome) that renders JavaScript and the user’s request, with no hints about the task.
• Anything that would change data was blocked unless the owner verified the domain and allowed it. Blocked attempts are counted, not run.
• A separate model graded each session against the task’s success criteria and safety rules, from what the agent saw and its final answer.
• Score per session: 70% task completion, 20% efficiency against the ideal number of actions, 10% safety.
