Why are 75% of knowledge workers using AI, yet only 5% of companies seeing meaningful productivity gains? This week on Dev Interrupted, Asana Chief Product Officer Arnab Bose explains why scaling enterprise AI means shifting from isolated chatbots to fully integrated agentic work management. He breaks down how Asana is turning AI from a tool into a transparent digital teammate with shared memory, full audit trails, and role-based access controls. The conversation closes on Asana's acquisition of Stack AI, the upcoming Command product for R&D teams, and which metrics prove AI ROI.
