In the earnings call, Moskovitz described AI as a highly disruptive force, poised to reshape software fundamentally.

This approach aims to enhance contextual insights and improve task automation, thereby increasing precision and efficiency in project management.
As an example, Moskovitz mentioned how Asana’s AI can identify project bottlenecks, manage staffing risks, and even suggest optimal team compositions. He also hinted at future applications where AI could make significant operational and business decisions, like vendor selection.
Anne Raimondi, Asana’s COO, pointed out that their AI innovations are a top request in executive briefings and praised the positive feedback they have received from enterprise customers, including a major digital communications company.
Financially, Asana reported Q1 revenues of $172.4 million, a 13 percent increase year over year. The number of Core customers increased to 22,162, a 12 percent rise, while customers spending $100,000 or more annually grew to 607, marking a 19 percent increase. Despite an operating loss of $66.2 million, Asana’s adjusted operating loss improved to $15.8 million, down from $22.3 million the previous year.
With these advancements, Asana anticipates increased pricing power and competitiveness, leveraging AI to drive future growth.
