In-depth Report

Tana is an AI-native knowledge work platform built by a team in Oslo, Norway. It will end closed testing and officially open beta in 2025. It has become popular in the productivity geek circle with its Supertag system of "node as database". On March 31, 2026, Tana announced a major revision: the original product was renamed "Tana Outliner", and a new version code-named "Tana 2" was launched at the same time - an "Agentic Meeting Platform" that embeds AI agents directly into meetings. It no longer just records meeting minutes, but lets the agent perform tasks while the conversation is ongoing. The goal is to "let the meeting produce finished products, not notes."
Tana was co-founded by Tarjei Vassbotn, Olav Sindre Kriken (also known as Kringlebotn) and Grim Iversen. The team is based in Oslo and has the product genes of Google Wave and Workflowy behind it. In February 2025, Tana completed a US$14 million Series A financing, led by Tola Capital, with participation from Lightspeed, Northzone, Alliance VC, and firstminute capital. The cumulative financing reached US$25 million, with a valuation of approximately US$100 million. During the closure period, a waiting list of 160,000 people was accumulated, covering more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies, and the Slack community has more than 24,000 active members. The motivation for the revision is straightforward: although the original Tana is powerful, it has a steep learning curve, is difficult to use, and is difficult to promote within the team. The official admitted in "The next chapter for Tana" that the past few refactorings have been stuck on "core functions that cannot be weakened by old users." In the end, the team chose to start from scratch—not to make a better note-taking application, but to make a workspace that allows meetings, documents and AI to share the same context. The original product remains in operation as the Tana Outliner, with both products operating in parallel.
The core narrative of "Tana 2" is "Do work in the meeting". It uses meetings as the starting point for work: during audio and video calls, friendly AI agents work side by side with you, capturing decisions while chatting and taking action immediately. You discuss a bug, and it opens a PR to fix it; you sort out a video script, and it generates storyboards; and you review user interviews, and it produces a customer journey map or prototype. Several key capabilities are worth mentioning. One is robot-free meeting recording - the desktop directly captures the system audio, does not send "ghost participants" into Zoom, and transcribes in real time. Currently, 61 languages are supported, and a summary is produced within 1 minute after the 30-minute meeting. The second is that "Types" (the old version of Supertag) can be created with one click using natural language in AI chats or meetings. AI will based on the conversation proposal field in the last few minutes, and it will be dropped upon confirmation. The third is configurable agents and skills (Skills): users describe the workflow in natural language, and Tana automatically creates an Agent to execute the process, which can be triggered in meetings or anywhere in the workspace, such as all-staff meeting preparation, bug triage, customer follow-up, and OKR follow-up. The fourth is the understanding of screen sharing - when sharing the screen, AI can see the picture and combine it with conversational reasoning. The captured issue will be accompanied by AI annotated screenshots with context, making it easy to hand over to the coding agent. The bottom layer has also been greatly upgraded: MCP and API are given priority, MCP is supported from the first day, and external tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Lovable can be connected, making the knowledge graph a data source for AI workflows; multi-model parallelization, Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Claude Opus 4.5 has been connected, and all models support online search; the mobile terminal has been designed from the first day, with the goal of being equivalent to desktop functions. The compliance aspect focuses on enterprise-friendliness: SOC 2 and GDPR are compliant, HIPAA is expected to be implemented in the third quarter of 2026, there is no training for your data, data is portable, and LLM is irrelevant. Compared with the old version of "Bullet Flow Outline", the interface is significantly quieter and closer to Notion. The document model begins to natively support long text writing, instead of treating each line as a node. Since the end of 2025, desktop tabs and panels, Supertag custom colors, mobile “capture tomorrow”, better-use AI chat bubbles and history, flexible view toolbars, and offline use (desktop) have been added.
Tana Outliner follows three levels: the free version is about 500 AI points/month, up to 5 custom Supertags, 2 workspaces, 0.5GB storage, excluding calendar synchronization and integration; Plus is about $8–10/month (annual payment is lower), about 2,000 points, including Google calendar synchronization and workspace sharing; Pro is about $14–18/month, about 5,000 points, unlimited workspaces, and self-selected models. Points do not roll over, and heavy meeting users are likely to hit the upper limit in the middle of the month and need to purchase more. The pricing of the new version of "Tana 2" was disclosed in a community AMA in April 2026: There will be a free tier, and early access for the full experience is about US$20/month; existing paid subscribers can use both products at the same time during the year. The free tier is thin and the payment threshold is high, which is one of the most common complaints from users.
Most of the remaining users have complex workflows - multiple projects in parallel, intensive meetings, and need to track contacts and customers, typically such as product managers, consultants, investors, creators, and founders. They praised Supertag without hesitation, "I am not maintaining a system, but I am in a self-maintaining system." The conference agent is considered to have the clearest ROI: it has accurate transcription, can identify speakers, automatically connects to project and customer nodes, and saves about 30 minutes on a single call. The negative voices are equally clear: the learning curve is extremely steep, and it takes most people days to weeks to "get the hang of it." Users who have migrated from Notion or Apple Notes are easily dissuaded from the first session; the free version's 5 Supertag limit makes it impossible to test the core functions and is blocked by the paywall; the mobile version has been repeatedly described as a "gold-plated recorder", which is far inferior to the desktop; the points cliff comes faster than expected, and intensive weeks are easily exhausted in the middle of the month; the export is too technical (only JSON/Markdown, no CSV, no PDF/Word), high tool replacement costs.
Technology media and Deepin Blogs generally regard the new version of Tana as one of the most ambitious productivity tools "for the era of intelligent agents." An actual test in May 2026 said that the interface is quieter, the navigation is smoother, and the document model finally supports long articles. The most amazing thing is the voice agent and conferencing function - a solitary meeting like talking to a personal assistant. It can capture structured items in real time based on knowledge graph proposal types, run skills, generate slides or customer journeys; real-time summarization can continue to track topics in multi-hour five-person on-site workshops. Reviewers believe that this is a key differentiation from Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, and Roam, but also point out that it is still early days: the real table view is still missing, the old version of "stacking multiple types of the same entity" and other advanced capabilities have not been migrated, and loop tasks and universal HTTP integration are still on the wish list.
The first is the naming controversy. The community reacted strongly to the name change of "Outliner", and the official admitted that the rollout process can be more stable. The second is the capability gap period: the new version cannot achieve all the functions of the old version in the early stage, and the gap is real. Old users need to make a transition whether they want to switch between "familiar and strong" and "collaborative and new". The third is cost and lock-in: a complete experience of about US$20/month is too expensive for solo users. Although the data is portable, the export format is not friendly, and there is a certain migration cost. The fourth is the compliance window: HIPAA is still ETA, and strong regulatory scenarios such as medical care cannot be fully assured for the time being. The fifth is the offline limitation: the desktop is available offline, but the shared workspace still needs to be connected to the Internet, and collaboration scenarios on the plane are limited. The sixth is the boundary of the agent: action item extraction occasionally misses items in conversations with dense terminology or fast speech, which still requires manual review and cannot be blindly trusted.
Suitable for: knowledge workers and small teams with intensive meetings (more than 3-4 client/team meetings per week), highly overlapping information, and willing to spend half a day to a week to set up the Supertag system; suitable for VCs, consultants, and founders. Not suitable for: People who just want a simple to-do or basic note-taking; Teams who pursue out-of-the-box use and are unwilling to invest in configuration time; People who rely heavily on mobile for substantive editing; People who need local priority (Obsidian party) or mature enterprise-level batch seats/SSO pricing; People who have a tight budget and are not sure whether they can stick with it. Alternatives: If you want simplicity and collaboration, choose Notion; if you want local priority and free, choose Obsidian; if you want a more generous free tier, choose Capacities; if you want pure conference transcription, choose Otter.ai and Fireflies.
"Tana 2" pushes Tana from the "second brain" to the "company brain": it bets that meetings are no longer just about recording work, but completing work on the spot. The main line of knowledge graph + in-meeting agents is obviously differentiated, and the early experience is indeed amazing. What really needs to be verified is - when the halo fades, whether ordinary teams are willing to pay for the steep learning curve and high subscriptions, and whether the new version can fill the gap in capabilities while maintaining the loyalty of old users. It deserves continued attention, but at this stage it is more suitable for people who are "willing to pay for the structure."

Today’s view is a bit tasteless, like a hodgepodge of all uncategorized content.

The only exports are JSON and Markdown. It would be a big project to change tools, and the field relationships of supertag will be lost when exported.

The conference agent is its clearest ROI. Once I have a customer meeting, the action items are automatically connected back to the customer node, saving at least half an hour of sorting. It is great for people with many meetings.

JeffreyWeber_pro

I discovered in a month that about 40% of the action items in the old Obsidian were dangling tasks with no context at all. I don’t know who mentioned them and why. After moving to Tana, every task can be traced back to the meeting and who mentioned it. This traceability has really changed the way I work. I no longer have to rely on my brain to remember "where this job came from."

Compared with Notion, what impresses me most about Tana is that you don’t have to decide whether to put the content on the page or the database first. You can just write a dozen tags and the structure will grow by itself. The price is that the threshold for getting started is high. Newbies have to be patient and watch a few tutorials, otherwise they will be very frustrated in the first two weeks. But once that hurdle is crossed, the flexibility Notion cannot provide.

Frances_Price_2020

The learning curve is really steep. I kept trial and error in the first two weeks. When I should use link, I used supertag, and when I should use field, I used indentation. It took about six weeks to really get comfortable with it, but after I became comfortable, my efficiency took off.

Only personal workspaces are supported offline. The shared space cannot be used once the network is disconnected. Collaboration on the plane can be stopped immediately.

The minority's 10,000-word analysis said that Tana's search freedom is the most comprehensive one he has ever used, and I agree - the entire note library is filtered by field values, and Notion's library cannot expand to this range. You can search for "all nodes whose Status is In Progress". Cross-database aggregation is basically impossible in Notion. This is the real moat of Tana.

DorothyCarterII

—

The free tier is thin, and Pro costs $18, which is not cheap for solo users; but if there are three or four customer meetings every week, the time saved by the meeting agent will be paid back quickly. In essence, it is paying for the time to organize after the meeting.

GaryJones_7

—

In the new version of the meeting, the agents started PR and wrote storyboards while chatting. For the first time, I saw a product that turned the "finished product of the meeting" into the main narrative, instead of just producing a minute that no one read. In the early days, there were gaps such as the missing table view, and the ability to stack multiple types from the old version has not been transferred, but I am optimistic about the direction. Once the team version is completed, it will be very capable.

Among the more than 50 comments on Product Hunt, the most praised ones are Supertag, real-time search and meeting transcription. The shortcomings also point to the mobile terminal and collaboration, indicating that the user pain points are very consistent.

Joan_Jackson_77

"I work in the system, not maintain the system" is true. After Supertag is configured, the workspace will be self-organized. When writing a meeting note, you can easily add two tags. Project and customer records will be automatically updated without copying and pasting. Once you get used to this "file it as soon as you write it" experience, you can't go back.

DonnaJames

There is no offline or local files. If you care about data sovereignty, just choose Obsidian. Tana is a cloud-native idea.

Supertag really smells good, you can't go back after using it.

It took me two months to move the 2,400 notes I had accumulated over the past seven years into Tana. The migration took about 15 hours, and it was mainly a matter of moving rather than importing in batches. Compared with Roam, supertag plus type query makes information easier to retrieve over time, and you no longer have to dig through a pile of unstructured text; the price is that it is heavier than Roam and is not suitable for pure free writing.

Compared with other tools, the structure that Tana allows us to build makes others look like children's toys. The data integrity is truly unmatched. The feeling that cross-project tasks, customers, and meetings are all connected is difficult to replace.

After connecting to Claude, the learning curve has almost disappeared. Now I can directly let it help me build the dashboard without having to figure out how to design the supertag field myself. This is a qualitative change for people who don’t want to delve into the system. The structure that used to take a whole afternoon to build can now be built in just one sentence.

Andrea_Jenkins_Plus

—

The mobile version is still too slow. I have to wait for half a day to load daily nodes when I am away from home, and the excitement of capturing is completely gone.

Brandon.RuizQ

—

The new meeting function is still experimental, and it is a bit early to draw strong conclusions, but the robot-free transcription is accurate and can recognize who is speaking, which is more decent than a bunch of tools that send ghosts into meetings.

墨染229

—

The new meeting agent is its clearest ROI. Once a customer comes down, the transcription and action items are automatically connected back to the customer node. It can be done in a few minutes, which is much faster than my manual sorting.

I find it interesting that the new version is geared towards conferences, but I really hope they don’t lose the core of the outline. What our old users love most is the node thinking and Supertag. Don’t change your soul just to please the team. Once a new version is forced and the old workflow is interrupted, heavy users like me will be embarrassed.

CarolMiller_77

—

The free version only gives 5 Supertags. You can’t test the core functions at all and you are forced to pay. The experience is very fragmented. It means that you can’t understand the power of this tool without paying.

TheresaTorres_Pro

—

Tana is the first tool that doesn't force me to fight against the structure. Supertag is really different from other tag systems. After typing the tag nodes, fields and views will grow on their own.

AmberHartQ

—

A bit of a geek, with a long learning curve, but basically unrivaled in ability. The implementation of Supertag is indeed excellent. After the confusion in the first two weeks, it became smoother.

The mobile experience is still terrible. After the update, it still looks like a large tape recorder. It is impossible to manage the workspace properly. It is almost impossible to change the supertag structure on the mobile phone.
