Your AI agents do the work while you talk
Tana launches bring your own agents. Teams bring the agents they already use, like Claude and ChatGPT, into their meetings. Each agent gets the same context as the people in the room, keeps its own connectors, skills and memory, and the work is done before the meeting ends.

Tana's book for the meetings that should never have started.
In their words
“Really nice to have a meeting agent that literally listens in, understands the questions and pulls up the relevant information right there at my fingertips.”
Johan BrandCo-founder of Kahoot! “The transcription is the best I have ever used. It handles Italian so well, switches to English so quickly, and gets company names, tool names and acronyms right.”
Filippo CavallariFounding Engineer at Always Friday “It understands Sunnmøre, Bergen and Northern Norwegian dialects equally well, and it doesn’t believe I’m a Swede anymore.”
Ole Andreas KrumsvikSenior Business Developer at Youwell
