Tana
Agentic meeting platform where AI agents join native video calls and produce docs, issues, and CRM updates while the conversation is still happening
Tana rebuilt itself in 2026 as an agentic meeting platform: AI agents sit in native video calls and file issues, draft docs, and update context during the call rather than after it. The free tier covers 5 hosted meetings and 50 AI queries a month. Pro is $20/user/month on annual billing ($25 billed monthly) at early-bird rates, against a $30 standing list price. Max is $80/user/month annually. The original supertag outliner continues separately as Tana Outliner.

What is Tana?
Tana is an agentic meeting platform built around native video calls with AI agents in the room. The premise is that most of the work a meeting generates — filing the issue, drafting the PRD, updating the CRM field, logging who owns what — currently happens after the call, if it happens at all. Tana moves that work into the call itself: agents listen, act on what they hear, and hand back artifacts before anyone hangs up. Behind the calls sits a context graph that links docs, projects, tasks, decisions, contacts, and meetings, so a recurring standup opens with last week’s commitments already loaded instead of a blank page.
This is a different product from the one most people associate with the Tana name. Through 2025 Tana was a supertag-based knowledge outliner; in 2026 the company split into two, keeping the outliner alive as Tana Outliner while building the meeting platform from scratch for collaboration and agentic work. The new product is LLM-agnostic across Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI models, supports MCP for wiring in external tools, and ships prebuilt integrations for GitHub, Linear, Slack, Jira, HubSpot, Outlook, and Google Calendar. A botless meeting agent on Pro and above captures meetings held in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet without joining as a visible participant, so teams do not have to migrate their whole calendar to get value.
Who is it for?
Tana suits teams whose meetings are the actual work rather than a status ritual — where the output of a conversation is a document, a decision, or a queued task that someone otherwise has to write up afterwards. The free tier’s 5 hosted meetings and 50 AI queries a month are enough to judge whether the agents produce usable artifacts, but a team running daily standups or back-to-back client calls will hit that ceiling in the first week and need Pro. Buyers in regulated industries should wait or ask directly, since SOC 2 and HIPAA are still listed with a Q3 2026 estimate.
- Consultants and advisors who bill for judgment and want the client brief, slide draft, or research queue built during the session instead of in unbilled evening hours.
- Product and engineering teams who want issues filed into their tracker and PRDs drafted from the discussion itself, keeping the backlog honest without a dedicated scribe.
- VCs and investors running many founder calls, where the investment memo and CRM fields should be mostly written by the time the call ends.
- Founders and small leadership teams stitching investor updates, hiring debriefs, and board prep out of conversations that already happened, on the Pro tier’s unlimited hosted meetings.
- Customer success and sales teams that need every account call linked to the right customer with renewal risks and follow-up owners captured automatically.

- 03 Capturing context from meetings hosted in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet using a botless agent that does not join as a visible participant

- 05 Building a shared context graph so recurring meetings start with prior decisions and owners already loaded
Pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Free tier is permanent and needs no credit card, and the 30-day paid trial is also card-free | Early-bird pricing is explicitly temporary; the pricing page already shows $30/user/mo annual and $35 monthly as the standing Pro rate, so renewal cost is uncertain |
| Annual plans carry a 60-day refund window, which is unusually long for this category | The 2026 pivot split the company into two products — the supertag outliner many users originally bought now lives separately as Tana Outliner, and one subscription does not cover both |
| Desktop apps cover macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux including Arm builds | SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance are listed with an estimated arrival of Q3 2026 rather than as completed certifications, which will block some regulated buyers |
| Replaces several line items at once — meeting platform, wiki, notetaker — so the per-seat cost is easier to justify | Free tier caps at 5 hosted meetings and 50 AI queries a month — enough to evaluate, not enough to run a week of standups |
| Data is exportable and remains accessible after downgrade or cancellation, per the vendor's pricing FAQ | Paid AI allowances are published as relative multipliers (20x free, 5x Pro) rather than absolute credit counts, making it hard to predict when a top-up will be needed |
| Max at $80/user/month annually ($100 billed monthly) is a steep step up from Pro for teams that only need more headroom |

Head-to-head comparisons
How people make money with Tana
- Run client-facing advisory calls where the deliverable ships before the call ends, billed per engagement instead of per follow-up writeup hour
- Package meeting-agent and skill configuration for small teams as a fixed setup engagement, then bill per seat once the workspace is running
- Offer a recurring investor-update or board-prep service where every founder call feeds one context graph, billed as a monthly retainer
Frequently asked questions
Is Tana free?
Yes, there is a permanent free tier. It covers hosting 5 meetings a month with AI transcripts and summaries, one connected calendar, 50 AI queries, and full view and edit access to your content. Paid plans add unlimited hosted meetings and much larger AI allowances, and a 30-day trial is available with no credit card required.
How much does Tana Pro cost?
Pro is listed at $20 per user per month on annual billing, or $25 per user per month billed monthly. Both are flagged as early-bird rates; the pricing page shows $30 and $35 respectively as the standing prices once early bird ends. Annual plans carry a 60-day refund window and a 30-day free trial.
Is Tana the same product as Tana Outliner?
No. In 2026 the company split into two products. Tana is the agentic meeting platform with native video calls and AI agents that act during the conversation. Tana Outliner is the original supertag-based knowledge outliner, which the company says is not going away and will keep improving. They are sold and priced separately, so one subscription does not cover both.
Does Tana work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?
Yes, on Pro and above. Tana hosts its own native video calls, and it also ships a botless meeting agent that captures context from meetings held in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet without adding a visible bot participant to the call. The free tier does not include the botless agent.
What happens when Tana AI credits run out?
The plans meter AI usage rather than cutting you off permanently. Tana's pricing FAQ states that you can top up AI credits with custom amounts whenever needed. The free plan includes 50 AI queries per month, Pro is described as twenty times the free allowance, and Max as five times Pro.
Which platforms does Tana run on?
Tana ships desktop apps for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows, and Linux in AppImage and .deb formats including Arm builds. Mobile apps and browser access through the login page also exist. The download page positions the desktop app as the primary experience, which fits a product that hosts native video calls.
Is Tana SOC 2 compliant?
Not yet, according to the vendor's own site. Tana lists GDPR compliance as current, and marks both SOC 2 and HIPAA with an estimated arrival of Q3 2026. The pricing page carries asterisks next to SOC 2 and HIPAA for the same reason. Regulated buyers should confirm current certification status directly before committing.
Does Tana have an API?
Yes, for automation purposes. Pro and above include what the vendor calls full MCP, which lets you connect Tana to external tools through the Model Context Protocol. Prebuilt integrations cover GitHub, Linear, Slack, Jira, HubSpot, Outlook, and Google Calendar. The company describes the product as MCP and API first in its security messaging.
