About Tana
Tana is rebuilding itself around meetings — capture, present, and AI wrap-up, all native
Tana, once a supertag-driven knowledge base, now spends nearly all its release energy on a meeting layer: a pre-meeting hub card, one-click capture of external Zoom/Teams/Meet calls through system audio, live document presentation, and AI agents that summarize and extract outcomes. The Today page has become the product's home surface, organizing the day around calls and their generated artifacts. Recent work is dense and iterative — join nudges, permission recovery, presentation palettes, voice agents — all pointed at the same target.
