Tana

What Tana does

Tana is an AI-native agentic meeting platform that combines native video calls with AI agents that work alongside users during meetings to capture decisions, draft documents, file tasks into trackers, update CRMs, and queue follow-ups in real time. The product is positioned horizontally across knowledge-worker roles, with primary use cases for product and engineering teams, and secondary segments spanning consultants, VCs, creatives, founders, customer success, and sales professionals. Tana is a separate product from Tana Outliner, the company's existing note-taking outliner at outliner.tana.inc. The company was founded in 2021 by Olav S. Kriken (CEO), Tarjei M. Vassbotn (CIO), and Grim H. Iversen (CAIO), is incorporated in Delaware as Tana Labs, Inc., and operates from a Palo Alto headquarters with a primary engineering office in Oslo, Norway.

The platform is built on a knowledge-graph data model with CRDT-based real-time synchronization, offline support, and automatic conflict resolution, with a backend stack in Go, TypeScript, Rust/WASM, and SQLite. AI capabilities span six modalities (text, image, video, audio, structured data, code) and six functional areas including natural language processing, autonomous agents, generative AI, speech and audio, knowledge retrieval, and process automation. A Skills system lets users create reusable AI instructions, a Proposal system requires explicit user approval before any AI write is committed, and a native MCP server plus support for custom remote MCP servers allows external AI tools such as Claude to read and write Tana content. The product surface spans Meetings, Chat, Tasks, Docs, Canvas, Spaces, Agents, Skills, Proposals, Artifacts, Library, and Types, with native desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Tana pursues a product-led growth model with self-serve signup, a 30-day free trial without a credit card, and SSO via Google, Microsoft, and Apple. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; a Business tier with a Data Processing Agreement is offered, and SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA certifications are targeted for Q3 2026 to unlock enterprise and healthcare customers. Distribution is direct-to-customer across global web and desktop channels with no marketplace or reseller presence, and revenue is not disclosed. The company is venture-backed by Tola Capital (Series A lead, February 2025, $14M), Lightspeed, Northzone, Firstminute Capital, Alliance Venture, and La Famiglia, alongside individual investors including Olivier Pomel (Datadog), Lars Rasmussen (Google Maps), Lars Fjeldsoe-Nielsen (Dropbox, Uber, WhatsApp), and Holly Branson (Virgin Group).

Core offering

Tana is an AI-native agentic meeting platform that combines native video calls with AI agents that capture decisions, file issues, draft documents, update CRMs, and trigger downstream workflows during the meeting itself. The product is built around a knowledge graph data model and a Skills system that lets teams configure reusable AI workflows, with every AI-generated change routed through a Proposal review before it is applied. A separate Tana Outliner product offers a structured note-taking experience using Supertags and nodes.

Product overview

Tana is an AI-native collaborative workspace built around an agentic meeting platform. The core product (Tana) combines native video calls with AI agents that capture decisions, extract action items, and automate workflows during meetings. It also offers a separate note-taking outliner product called Tana Outliner. The platform includes integrated features for tasks (with Kanban boards), documents (with Mermaid diagram support), AI chat, customizable skills, AI agents, proposals (requiring user approval for AI changes), artifacts (AI-generated visuals), spaces for team collaboration, and a library for content organization. A desktop app extends capabilities for capturing external meetings from Zoom, Teams, and Meet. An MCP server enables external AI tools to integrate with Tana content.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Granola: AI meeting notes tool for individuals and teams that captures conversations and drafts structured notes, with a strong PLG motion. Most directly comparable peer given overlap in target persona (founders, operators) and meeting-centric AI agent value prop.
• Otter.ai: Meeting transcription and AI summary product with deep Zoom/Teams/Meet integrations. Competes head-on with Tana's meeting capture and transcription capability, though Otter lacks Tana's in-meeting agent actions and knowledge graph layer.
• Fireflies.ai: AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and analyzes meetings across Zoom, Teams, and Meet, with CRM integrations to HubSpot and Salesforce. Directly comparable on the meeting AI agent category, though positioned more as analytics layer than knowledge substrate.
• Fathom: Free AI meeting recorder and summarizer aimed at individual contributors and small teams. Competes with Tana in the same bottom-up PLG motion and target persona, though narrower in scope (no agents, no knowledge graph).
• Fellow.app: Meeting management and AI notes platform focused on team meetings, 1:1s, and agendas. Overlaps with Tana's meeting intelligence and customer-success/sales use cases, but with a more managerial/HR framing rather than agentic execution.

Broad incumbents

• Notion: Workspace and knowledge management platform with growing AI features (Notion AI, Notion Calendar, Notion Mail). Competes with Tana's docs, tasks, and knowledge graph on the workspace layer and bundles a much broader product surface.
• Microsoft Teams: Dominant enterprise collaboration suite with video calls, transcription, Copilot AI agents, and deep Microsoft 365 integration. The most significant incumbent threat — Teams bundles meeting, AI, and workflow capabilities into the enterprise stack Tana must sell into.
• Zoom: Video conferencing leader that has added AI Companion for transcription, summaries, and meeting actions. Competes directly with Tana's native video + AI agent proposition and has unmatched distribution to enterprise IT buyers.

Emerging players

• Mem: AI-native notes and knowledge management app that auto-organizes information by topic and surfaces contextually. Overlaps with Tana's knowledge graph and search capabilities, but lacks native video calls and in-meeting agents.
• Reflect: AI-powered notes app with bidirectional linking and daily notes features, targeting individual knowledge workers. Comparable to Tana on the personal knowledge management front, though without multi-user meetings or team-oriented agent features.
