What Asa Team does
Asa is a work assistant that runs inside the chat apps a team already uses, and its Telegram page sends teams to @AsaTeamAssistantBot. The pitch is aimed at remote, hybrid, field and shift teams, where a separate HR app is one more thing nobody opens.
Team members message the bot when they start and finish, and it records the time; it reminds people who forgot, taking time zones into account. Monthly timesheets are generated from those entries and can be exported for payroll. Employees ask the bot for their leave balance and submit requests, managers approve them and the team calendar updates. The bot also works in group chats, including chats with clients or contractors, where Asa's AI picks out blockers, decisions and risks, and it offers anonymous mood check-ins.
The Starter plan is free for up to 5 people with time tracking, Telegram integration, 3 active projects, 1,000 messages a month and 15 AI assistant messages a day. Growth costs $60 a month per company for up to 20 people and Scale $150 for up to 50. Asa says a human does not review your chats, and it publishes a privacy policy and a data processing agreement.
