Automation 7/30+: Put an AI agent inside Asana

Sections are your workflow. Nothing actually happens when a task crosses one.

What it does

  • Move a task into your "analyze" section → the AI posts a breakdown grounded in your codebase
  • Discuss it in the task comments → it replies, asks what's missing, agrees the scope
  • Move it into your "build" section → it opens a pull request
  • The relay handles Asana's X-Hook-Secret handshake and HMAC, and routes every webhook event

What it does not do

It never moves tasks between sections, completes them, or merges its own PR.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, not yet proven on a busy project.

Setup

clone → ./setup.sh → pick Asana → answer a few questions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

~5 minutes. No server, no database, free.

Get it

The recipe is open source: github.com/akshaypatel-ai/ai-automations

This is one of 30+ automations in the series — the full write-up lives on my site.
