What is 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.
What is Skedda?
Skedda adds a portfolio tier: one view of utilization across every venue an organization runs.
Skedda publishes only features — no fix notices reach this feed — at roughly a release every week or two, and the work splits cleanly in three. The booking rules engine keeps getting finer-grained: approval rules scoped to specific weekdays, booking windows specified in hours rather than days, and priority windows that hand different teams different days on the same desks. A second thread pushes past booking into adjacent workplace operations — equipment add-ons with stock limits, issue reporting with routing rules, visitor CSV import, and a tablet that now takes walk-up bookings without a login. The third is measurement, which started with check-in insights in May and now reaches organization level.

◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is unambiguous: Tana wants to own the full arc of a meeting — before (hub, invites, calendar sync), during (capture, present, live AI digest), and after (summaries, outcomes, review queue) — and fold the results back into its typed knowledge graph. External-meeting capture moving to on-by-default and live doc presentation without screen sharing put it in direct competition with Granola and Fellow, not just as a notes tool. The knowledge-base roots are increasingly the substrate that meeting outputs land in, not the headline.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to deepen the AI wrap-up loop — richer automatic outcome extraction, agent actions triggered from meeting content, and tighter linking of meeting artifacts into typed entities — since that is the recurring thread across these entries.
Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Skedda adds a portfolio tier: one view of utilization across every venue an organization runs.
◆ Current state
Skedda publishes only features — no fix notices reach this feed — at roughly a release every week or two, and the work splits cleanly in three. The booking rules engine keeps getting finer-grained: approval rules scoped to specific weekdays, booking windows specified in hours rather than days, and priority windows that hand different teams different days on the same desks. A second thread pushes past booking into adjacent workplace operations — equipment add-ons with stock limits, issue reporting with routing rules, visitor CSV import, and a tablet that now takes walk-up bookings without a login. The third is measurement, which started with check-in insights in May and now reaches organization level.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is climbing from venue tool toward workplace system of record, and the buyer is climbing with it. Check-in data answered 'is this room being used as booked'; the Organization Hub answers 'which of our sites are worth keeping', which is a real-estate question asked above the office manager who configures the rules. Meanwhile the rules engine's growing precision — day, hour, team — points at hybrid-schedule enforcement as the operational job, and issue reporting plus add-ons quietly turn each booking into a small work order.
◆ Prediction
Expect the organization tier to gain what a single venue already has — cross-venue rules, tags and user management rather than reporting alone — and for the utilization data to start driving recommendations rather than only displaying charts.
