FAQ

Questions about Asana + OpenAI.

How does GPT-4 triage new Asana tasks?
Asana Task Created → OpenAI Chat with prompt "classify this task: priority, project, assignee" → workflow calls Update Task with the predicted fields. Add a "ai-triaged" tag to avoid re-triggering.
Can OpenAI generate subtasks from an Asana task description?
Yes. Use the chat completion with response_format=json_schema to enforce { "subtasks": [{ "name": str, "due_offset_days": int }] }. Loop over the result and call Create Subtask.
How do I generate weekly Asana status reports with GPT?
Scheduled Friday: list tasks updated this week → format as a digest → OpenAI Chat with "write a 5-bullet stakeholder summary" → post to Slack / email. The "what we shipped this week" digest writes itself.
Can OpenAI detect duplicate Asana tasks?
Yes. On Task Created, search recent tasks via Asana's search API. Pass candidates + new task to OpenAI with "rate similarity 0-1". High-similarity matches get a "potential duplicate of #X" comment.
How do I cost-control GPT on Asana automation?
Default to gpt-4o-mini for triage and classification (very cheap). Reserve gpt-4o for richer drafting (descriptions, reports). Cap max_tokens and use response_format=json to keep outputs predictable.
Can GPT write Asana task descriptions from a title alone?
Yes. On Task Created with empty notes, OpenAI generates a structured description (context, goal, success criteria). Update Task writes it back. Useful for one-line tasks that drop into Asana from chat or email.
