What Asana does well.

Clean task and project views

Workflow rules and forms

It handles intake, dependencies, and simple automations well.

Broad and approachable

A solid default for coordinating work across a company.

Where sfora is different.

Tasks are files agents operate

Every task is markdown, so an AI agent files, updates, and closes work over the CLI or MCP — not just a human clicking through views.

Chat and docs included

Discuss in rooms and write specs and posts in the same tool — no bouncing to Slack and a separate doc app.

Own your data

It's plain markdown you can start local and export — no proprietary task database.

Questions, answered.

Is sfora an Asana alternative?

For teams that want task management their AI agents can operate — with chat and docs in the same place, and data as portable markdown — yes. Asana is a strong human task tracker; sfora adds the agent-native layer.

Can agents update tasks in sfora?

Yes — tasks are markdown files, so an agent files, updates, and closes them over the CLI or MCP, the same board your team uses.

Does sfora replace our chat tool too?

It can — sfora has real-time rooms alongside the board, so the discussion and the work live together.
