Tana
AI-native workspace for thinkers.
About Tana
The meeting usually isn't the expensive part. The two hours afterward are: writing up notes, retyping bugs into Linear, drafting the follow-up to the customer, updating HubSpot, and chasing three people who each think someone else owns the decision. Tana's own pitch puts a number on it, "You'll spend 30,000 hours in meetings," and shows a calendar where a 5 PM to 6:45 PM "Follow-ups" block disappears once the work gets done during the calls themselves.
This Tana, at tana.inc, is an "agentic meeting platform," and it's a separate product from Tana Outliner, the company's note-taking tool with Supertags at outliner.tana.inc. The claim is blunt: "Tana doesn't take notes." It captures your calls on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or its own hosted calls, then proposes actions while you're still talking. It files the Linear issue with the screenshot attached, drafts the email, logs the decision with an owner and updates the CRM. A person accepts each action, so nothing fires off unreviewed. It also captures from your own machine, so no bot joins the call as a participant, which matters if you've watched a client frown at "Otter.ai Notetaker" in the participant list.
The second half of the product is a knowledge graph that every call feeds into. Ask "What did we decide regarding SSO?" and you get the decision, the owner, the reasoning and the calls it came from, with access limited to the people who were in the room. It connects to GitHub, Slack, HubSpot, Linear, Jira, Google Calendar, Outlook and coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex through MCP. That makes it a strong fit for product and engineering teams. It's less convincing if your work lives in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, since both integrations are still marked "coming soon." The free tier works as a trial of the memory features, but the agent behavior that justifies the product sits on Pro.
Key features
Botless capture on any platform
Tana records Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or Tana-hosted calls from your own machine, so no bot joins as a visible participant.
In-call actions with human approval
During the call it proposes actions like filing a Linear issue, drafting a Gmail follow-up or logging a decision, and each one runs only after a person accepts it.
Shared meeting memory
Every call feeds a knowledge graph of customers, decisions, issues and people that you can query in plain language, with access tied to who attended.
Live cheat sheet
While people are talking, Tana surfaces past commitments, pulls numbers someone asks for and researches topics raised mid-call, then pins the results to the meeting.
MCP and dev-tool integrations
It connects to Linear, Jira, GitHub, HubSpot, Slack and coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini, so your agents read the same context your team does.
Best for
- product and engineering teams running on Linear or Jira
- founders who live in customer calls and HubSpot
- teams that hate meeting bots joining calls
- AI-native teams already using Claude Code or Cursor
Skip if
- Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 shops, since both integrations are still listed as coming soon
- people looking for the Tana outliner and Supertags, which is a different product at outliner.tana.inc
- teams that need SAML SSO or audit logs on a small budget, because those sit on the custom-priced Business plan
Pros & cons
Pros
- No bot joins your call. Capture runs locally across Zoom, Teams and Google Meet
- It produces finished artifacts like Linear issues with screenshots and HubSpot deal notes, not just summaries
- The decision log records an owner and links back to the calls where things were discussed
- The 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and yearly Pro adds a 60-day refund window
- Your data stays exportable even after you downgrade or cancel
Cons
- The free plan caps you at 5 hosted meetings a month, 1 calendar and 50 AI queries, and the botless agent for Zoom, Teams and Meet is Pro only
- Pro is billed per user, so $20 to $30 per seat adds up quickly for a 10-person team
- AI usage is credit-based, so heavy users may need paid top-ups beyond the Pro allowance
- Sharing the Tana name with the outliner product makes docs, reviews and support threads easy to mix up

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same Tana as the note-taking outliner?
No. The tana.inc meeting platform is a separate product from Tana Outliner, which lives at outliner.tana.inc and is built around Supertags and nodes.
Does a bot join my Zoom or Teams call?
No. Tana captures from your own machine on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet, which sets it apart from tools like Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai that add a visible notetaker participant.
What do I get on the free plan?
Free covers 5 hosted meetings a month with AI transcripts and summaries, 1 connected calendar and 50 AI queries. Pro gives you 20 times more AI, unlimited hosted meetings and the botless agent.
Which tools can it push work into?
Tana advertises Linear, Jira, GitHub, HubSpot, Slack, Gmail drafts, Google Calendar and Outlook, plus MCP access for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are listed as coming soon.
Is it secure enough for enterprise use?
The Business plan lists GDPR, SOC 2 and HIPAA support, plus SAML SSO, audit logs and custom data residency and retention controls. Those features aren't part of Pro.
How Tana compares
Tana vs Otter.ai
Otter is a solid transcription tool, but Tana goes further by filing issues and drafting follow-ups during the call, and it does it without a bot in the room.
Tana vs Granola
Granola is also botless and great for personal notes, while Tana is built around team-wide memory and pushing work into Linear, HubSpot and Jira.
Tana vs Fireflies.ai
Fireflies suits broad sales and ops call recording, but if your team ships product and wants decisions logged with owners, Tana is the sharper fit.
