Asana completed a years-long code migration in 2 weeks with Codex
What happened
Asana used OpenAI’s Codex, an AI code‑generation tool, to rewrite a large portion of its software that had been gradually moved over several years, completing the migration in just two weeks. The AI wrote, tested, and integrated thousands of lines of code, dramatically speeding up a process that would normally take months or even years. This shows how generative AI can automate complex, large‑scale engineering tasks that were previously labor‑intensive.
Why it matters
The success demonstrates that AI‑powered code assistants can accelerate software development and reduce reliance on extensive human effort, prompting more companies to adopt similar tools for rapid code transformation and maintenance.
