Default content language and a richer public doc viewer

Default content language for the AI

Every organization now picks a default content language. The AI writes its replies, generated artifacts, outcomes, summaries, and document titles in that language no matter which language the conversation is happening in. Transcription stays multilingual so a mixed-language meeting still transcribes everyone correctly. Set the language during onboarding or in Settings, Organization, Language.

Every call ends with a canonical summary

After every call, Tana writes a single canonical summary document pinned to the event. It has a deterministic title, a participants line, the tagline and short summary as a lead-in, and AI-written sections for Key Takeaways, Topics Discussed, and Next Steps. If anything went wrong during writing, Tana retries on the next webhook so the summary always lands.

Join button on calendar event cards

Event cards on Today show a Join button when a meeting is within 10 minutes of its start time. Hovering the button opens a device-check preview with the camera feed and mic, camera, and settings toggles. Clicking joins the call directly without going through the Get Ready screen.

Claude Code as a coding tool

Settings, Coding Tools now supports Claude Code as a CLI-based coding tool on the desktop app. Configure one or more named projects (name and local folder), and the AI can target a specific project when it hands off work. Launches the Claude Code CLI in that project and surfaces the session URL as a clickable link in the chat. The web app shows a "Requires desktop app" note.

Emoticon shortcuts for in-call reactions

Press : in a call to open the reactions popover, then type a classic emoticon to fire the matching reaction: :) for ๐Ÿ˜Š, :( for ๐Ÿ˜ž, :D for ๐Ÿ˜„, :P for ๐Ÿ˜›, :O for ๐Ÿ˜ฎ, :/ for ๐Ÿซค, :| for ๐Ÿ˜, :* for ๐Ÿ˜˜. The popover stays open so you can stream reactions in a row. Digits 1-6 still fire the six default quick reactions, 7 or + opens the full picker, and lowercase :d, :p, :o fall through to search.

Live section highlighting in the digest

While a meeting is running, the most recent section in the digest renders with an accent-coloured marker and a full-strength title. Earlier sections dim slightly so the live cursor is easy to spot. Outside a live call, sections render unchanged.

  • Report a side-panel chatProposal iteration chats and talking-points chats have a More menu in their side-panel header with a "Report chat" action. You can flag a bad iteration or talking-points exchange the same way you report a bad main-chat reply. The full conversation is attached automatically. AI chat, Proposals and actions
  • Open in Chat opens a split iteration viewPicking "Open in Chat" on a doc now opens a split view with proposed edits on the left and an iteration chat on the right. Accept lands the edits on the original doc, Reject or close returns it unchanged. Replaces the earlier attachment-based flow. AI chat, Docs
  • Capture covers the last two minutesThe Capture button in the meeting toolbar now extracts the last two minutes of conversation (down from five). The button tooltip reads "Capture last 2 minutes" so the scope is clear. Meetings
  • Public doc viewer renders typed items in fullShared link doc pages now render typed items with their type chip, workflow state pill, assignee with avatar, fields grid, and embed cards, matching the in-app view. Artifacts (storyboards, customer journeys, slide decks) keep their visuals while staying read-only for guests. Docs, Types
  • Subspaces from the create menuOpening the create menu from inside a space creates a subspace nested under that space, so you can grow a parent space into sub-areas without leaving it. Spaces and sharing
  • Location and Access as two buttonsThe combined Location and Access control in the doc toolbar splits into two adjacent buttons. The Location button ("Lives in") opens the scope picker; the Access button opens access mode, participants, and guest link. The Location button hides on org-root docs where it has nothing to show. Every doc panel's overflow menu also exposes a Move action that opens the same picker. Docs

  • Drag and right-click on event cardsToday event cards can be dragged into the sidebar to pin to a space, or dropped into another document to create a reference. Right-clicking opens the standard context menu with Pin to space, Pin to date, Copy URL, and so on. Home, Meetings
  • Welcome meeting jumps you straight inClicking Start Meeting at the end of onboarding drops you directly into the welcome call, skipping the Get Ready preview. The sidebar starts collapsed so the meeting view leads. Home, Meetings
  • External captures get mid-meeting wrap-upsCaptured Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom meetings (desktop app) now run the same periodic mid-meeting wrap-ups and section refreshes that in-app calls get, on top of the post-recording wrap-up. A captured meeting picks up a tagline, summary, and outcome proposals automatically. Meetings
  • External capture and in-app calls are mutually exclusiveOn the desktop app, an external meeting capture and an in-app Tana call can no longer run at the same time. Trying to join a Tana call while a capture is recording shows a toast asking you to stop the capture first. Starting a capture while you are already in a Tana call is blocked the same way. Meetings, Apps
  • MCP setup uses Anthropic connectorsSettings, MCP points to Anthropic's connectors guide for adding Tana to Claude Desktop. The MCP server URL and the Claude Code command are still there for one-click copy. MCP
  • Semantic search narrowed to a typeThe AI's semantic search accepts a type filter so it can scope meaning-based results to a single user-defined entity type. Useful for prompts like "find bugs that mention the proxy". MCP, AI chat
  • AI appends Markdown without rewriting docsWhen the AI extends a doc with new content, it now appends Markdown to the end of the doc without rewriting existing blocks. Block-level edits still target specific blocks; full content replacement is reserved for whole-document rewrites. MCP, Docs
  • Colon toggles the emoji picker open and closedPressing the colon key while the emoji picker is open closes it, in the editor and in the chat composer. Same key, open and close, no need to reach for Escape. Interface, Commands and shortcuts
  • Welcome back on the desktop sign-in screenWhen the desktop app's sign-in session expires, the sign-in screen greets you with "Welcome back" and pre-fills your email so you can sign back in with one click. Apps

Fixes

  • Capture button popover opens reliablyClicking the Capture button in the meeting toolbar reliably opens the capture popover. Meetings
  • Proposal iteration chats no longer stuck creatingSub-chats opened from a proposal in regular AI chats and meeting chats no longer get stuck on "Creating chatโ€ฆ". AI chat, Proposals and actions
  • Org logo no longer flashes on load and switchSwitching organizations or loading the app cold no longer briefly flashes the default logo before the org's own logo appears. Interface
  • Search filters match by display nameThe "All editors" and "All types" filters on the search page match against display names, so typing a person's name finds the corresponding filter entry. Interface
  • Proposal group tile reads as one cardWhen a meeting's proposals of the same entity type fold into a group tile, the preview cards now use the proposal background, the type badge sits above the row, and the per-card type label is hidden so the group reads as one card instead of three labels stacked on top of each other. Meetings, Proposals and actions

  • Desktop sign-in edge cases cleaned upSeveral sign-in edge cases in the desktop app are fixed: the cloud icon no longer gets stuck unauthenticated, the guest flow is no longer accidentally entered right after sign-out, and concurrent sign-in attempts no longer collide. Apps
