Tana
Tana is a voice-first note-taking and knowledge management platform that combines an outliner-style editor with AI-powered transcription, summarization, and organization. It allows users to capture thoughts via voice, automatically transcribe audio, and turn unstructured notes into structured, interconnected knowledge using a unique system of 'supertags'—customizable fields and types that transform notes into queryable database records. Built for individuals and teams, Tana integrates tasks, meetings, projects, and knowledge bases in a single workspace. Its AI assistants can generate meeting summaries, extract action items, and even execute workflows based on natural language commands. The platform emphasizes real-time collaboration, backlinking, and dynamic views that update as data changes. Tana is delivered as a hosted web application with desktop and mobile clients, offering seamless sync across devices. While its feature set is advanced, it targets users who need both flexible note-taking and structured data management, bridging the gap between tools like Roam Research and Notion.
