Overview
Tana is a meeting platform where AI agents join your calls, transcribe and research live, and write structured results into a shared workspace graph instead of a transcript you never reopen. An official MCP server, on Pro and above, lets external AI tools read and write that content. Not to be confused with Tana Outliner, a cheaper personal notes tool.
Key Features
- ✓AI agents that join calls and write results into your workspace
- ✓Official MCP server for external AI tools (Pro tier and up)
- ✓Structured knowledge graph with supertags instead of flat notes
- ✓Separate from the cheaper Tana Outliner product
- ✓Free tier available without full MCP access
