What Tana does
Lets AI agents, including your own Claude or ChatGPT, work during video calls using the live transcript and screen shares, without a bot joining.
Tana is a meeting product built around AI agents that work while a call is still going on. You connect the Claude or ChatGPT account you already have through the Tana desktop app on Mac or Windows, and your agent then receives the live transcript and screen shares. Tana can also be started on the web.
According to the official homepage, no bot joins the call, so there is no extra participant. After a meeting, Tana suggests updates to the docs, plans and records it touched. Transcription covers 60+ languages, while the Tana interface itself is in English. The site also lists an MCP server, a public API and full data export. Integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack and HubSpot. The homepage names SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance, SSO, and no training on your data.
There are three plans: Free, Pro and Business. Free costs $0 and includes 5 hosted meetings a month with AI transcripts and summaries, 1 calendar and 50 AI queries. The pricing page lists $20 and $30 with a yearly/monthly toggle and marks $20 as early bird pricing. Because the two pages differ on the monthly figure, check the live pricing page. Pro includes 20× more AI than the free plan. Business starts from $35 per user per month, with the billing period not stated, and adds SAML SSO, audit logs, EU cloud storage and a designated customer success manager. A 30 day free trial needs no credit card, and yearly plans have a 60 day refund window.

- MCP server, public API and full data export are listed

Our take
Tana fits people who already use Claude or ChatGPT and want that agent to receive what is said in a meeting while it happens, rather than only produce notes afterwards. The botless capture and the listed security items, including SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR compliance and no training on your data, may appeal to teams with an IT review. The trade-offs are visible on the official pages. The free plan is small at 5 hosted meetings a month, 1 calendar and 50 AI queries. Connecting your own agent goes through the Mac or Windows desktop app. The interface is English only. Business shows only a starting price with no billing period. Anyone who just wants a simple standalone note taker may find the agent-centred approach broader than needed.
