AsanaWhy teams choose Trilo over Asana

A deeper look at the features that matter.
Communication First
Asana was built for task tracking, with communication added later. Trilo was built for how teams actually work today: async conversations that naturally turn into tasks, meetings that auto-generate action items, and AI that keeps everyone in sync.
Visual Collaboration Included
Need to brainstorm? With Asana, you need Miro. Need docs? You need Notion. Need spreadsheets? You need Google Sheets. With Trilo, whiteboards, docs, and sheets are built-in, AI-enabled, and multiplayer.
AI That Does the Work
Asana AI helps you write task descriptions. Trilo AI transcribes your meetings, creates tasks automatically, joins group chats to provide insights, and works on your projects 24/7 as an autonomous teammate.
