CustomTana
🟢No Codeknowledge-work
Tana has shifted from a structured notes app into an agentic meeting platform. The current homepage leads with “Do work in the meeting,” which is a useful way to understand the product: it is not just a place to store notes. Tana records meeting context, builds connected knowledge, and lets agents act on that context while the conversation is still fresh. That puts it near tools like [Granola](/tools/granola) for meeting capture, [Notion AI](/tools/notion-ai) for workspace knowledge, and [Linear](/tools/linear) or [Zapier](/tools/zapier) when the output needs to become operational work.
