The Tana Blog

Most student tools capture information but don’t help you connect it or make it useful when you need it. That’s where Tana comes in. It’s a free workspace designed to be your study hub, where AI helps you transcribe lectures, organize research, and keep deadlines on track.

Tana Publish now lets viewers interact with your shared content exactly as it appears in your workspace, seeing supertags and fields, expanding bullets, zooming into details, and navigating hierarchical structures, all without needing a Tana account. This transforms static knowledge sharing into dynamic thought exploration, allowing the reader to explore the relationship between notes.

The next generation of AI is here. Tana now supports GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, and GPT-5 Nano — bringing faster, more accurate, and more structured AI assistance directly into your knowledge workflows. Whether you're transcribing meetings, working on ideas, or building complex automations, these new models make it easier to think, act, and stay in flow. Tana lets you use 20 models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, directly where your notes live.

2024 was a transformative year for Tana. If you’ve stepped away for a while — or even if you’ve just missed a few updates — now’s the perfect time to dive back in. From deep mobile capabilities to game-changing AI workflows, we’ve shipped dozens of new features to help you think better, move faster, and stay in flow. Here’s a comprehensive look at everything that’s new in Tana.

Looking for the best meeting notetaking AI app that helps you stay focused, follow up effectively, and doesn’t clutter your meetings with bots? Meet the Tana Meeting Notetaker - a smarter, faster way to take notes that actually fit into your workflow. Whether you’re a project manager, a team lead, or running interviews, Tana makes meeting notetaking effortless - with AI transcription that works in real time, without needing a bot to join your call.

Tired of piecing together tools just to get a decent workflow? Workflows don’t need to start from scratch every time. The Template Store is a new way to install live, composable workflows inside your Tana workspace.

If you've ever wondered how to open multiple notes at once, avoid losing your place when switching between views, or multitask more efficiently in Tana - the answer is Tabs. Tabs are now enabled by default in the Tana Desktop app, giving you a more flexible, focused way to navigate your work without breaking your flow.

One of the most common questions we hear from new users evaluating Tana is: "Can I get my data out if I ever leave?" It’s a fair, and important, question. Whether you’re backing up your notes, migrating to another system, or just want peace of mind, you should never feel locked in to a tool. We’re excited to say: Tana now fully supports exporting your content. With flexible options for exporting, downloading, and copying, you can move your data however you need - on your terms.

At Tana, we believe great tools should bend to your brain, not the other way around. By expanding your model options, you can now tailor the AI's behavior to fit the exact kind of thinking, writing, or problem-solving you need — whether it's deep reasoning, rapid idea generation, lightweight drafting, or high-stakes execution. Each model has its own strengths, and now you’re in charge of choosing the right one for the moment.

We're excited to announce our $14M Series A led by Tola Capital, with follow on from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Northzone, Alliance VC, and firstminute capital, bringing our total funding to $25M.
