Asana

Connect your Asana workspace so the AI can reference your projects and tasks as context.

Overview

The Asana Connection gives the AI access to the projects and tasks in your Asana workspace. Once connected, Hamster can reference your projects and tasks when generating Briefs, writing documents, or answering questions in chat — deepening the Knowledge it draws on without you pasting in background information.

The Connection uses OAuth — you authorise through Asana's own login flow, and Hamster pulls in your projects and tasks.

What It Syncs

  • Projects — Asana projects with their structure and sections
  • Tasks — task names, descriptions, and completion state
  • Assignees — who owns each task
  • Due dates — task scheduling and deadlines
  • Custom fields — structured fields defined on your projects

Asana syncs content on connection. The newly authorised tile streams its data into the workspace, the sync counter ticking up as projects and tasks are ingested, then flips to a Synced state once the backfill completes. You can trigger a re-sync at any time from the Connections page.

How to Connect

  1. Go to Settings > Connections and click the Asana card.
  2. In the dialog, click Connect with Asana.
  3. You are redirected to Asana's authorization page.
  4. Log in to Asana if prompted, then approve access for Hamster.
  5. You are returned to Hamster Studio. Indexing begins automatically and the tile shows its sync progress.

The Connection is named after your Asana workspace.

Using Asana in Chat

Once connected, ask about anything in Asana directly from chat. Hamster surfaces the relevant projects and tasks in its reply, grounded in your synced workspace — and will call out discrepancies it finds in the data, with suggestions for how to resolve them.

Tips

  • Connect the projects your team actually runs work through. Focused context tends to produce better results than syncing everything.
  • Asana data is especially useful when generating Briefs — Hamster can ground a new brief in the projects and tasks already tracking the work.
  • Trigger a re-sync from the Connections page after large changes in Asana so the AI is working with current data.
