Let AI manage your Asana tasks while you run the business
You opened Asana to check one thing and lost 30 minutes triaging tasks, chasing deadlines, and updating statuses. Meanwhile, the work you actually needed to do is still waiting. Kodo connects to Asana and handles the project management overhead — surfacing what matters, chasing what's overdue, and keeping your team on track without you babysitting the board.
The problem
Asana is great for organizing work. But someone still has to manage the manager. Tasks pile up. Deadlines slip. Status updates go stale. Contractors forget to update their progress. And every morning, instead of doing your actual work, you're scrolling through notifications trying to figure out what needs your attention. For solo founders managing freelancers and small teams, Asana becomes another inbox to manage.
How Kodo solves it
Kodo connects directly to your Asana workspace via API. It monitors your tasks, surfaces overdue items in your morning briefing, chases team members who haven't updated their progress, and gives you plain-English status reports — all from Slack, Telegram, or the Kodo dashboard. You ask "what's overdue?" and Kodo tells you. You say "push the deadline to Monday" and Kodo updates Asana. No more context-switching.
What you get
Morning task briefings
Wake up to a summary of overdue tasks, approaching deadlines, and new assignments. Kodo pulls from Asana and delivers it in Slack or Telegram — no login required.
Automatic deadline chasing
When a contractor misses a deadline, Kodo can notify them, ask for an updated ETA, and report back. You don't have to be the one chasing.
Plain-English status reports
Ask "what's the status on the blog posts?" and Kodo checks Asana, finds the relevant tasks, and gives you a clean summary with due dates and assignees.
Cross-tool context
Kodo combines Asana tasks with Gmail, Slack, and Trello data. When someone emails you about a project, Kodo can cross-reference the Asana task and give you the full picture.

Frequently asked questions
How does Kodo connect to Asana?

Can Kodo create and update tasks in Asana?
Yes. Kodo can create new tasks, update due dates, mark tasks complete, add comments, and assign tasks to team members. Just tell Kodo what you need in plain English.
Does Kodo replace Asana?
No. Kodo works alongside Asana as your AI layer on top. Your team still uses Asana the same way — Kodo just makes sure nothing falls through the cracks and gives you instant access to project status from Slack or Telegram.
Can Kodo monitor specific projects or all projects?
Both. You can configure Kodo to monitor your entire workspace or focus on specific projects. Most users have Kodo monitor 2-3 key projects and surface only what needs attention.
What about Asana Premium features like timelines and portfolios?
Kodo works with Asana's API regardless of your Asana plan. It accesses tasks, projects, assignees, and due dates. Premium features like timelines are visual tools in Asana's UI — Kodo focuses on the operational data underneath.
