Overview
Tana is an agentic meeting platform where AI agents join your calls, transcribe and research live, and write structured results straight into a shared workspace graph rather than dumping a transcript you never reopen. It ships an official MCP server so external AI tools can read and write your Tana content, gated to the Pro tier and above. Check which product you are buying before you sign up: the company runs two separate things, and this is Tana at tana.inc, not Tana Outliner at outliner.tana.inc, which is a cheaper personal knowledge outliner at $8-14/mo with a narrower feature set. Tana's affiliate programme is discontinued — the old page now returns 410.
