What is Tana?
How to Use Tana
Getting started with Tana is straightforward. This guide walks you through setting up your workspace, defining your first AI agent, connecting your tools, and running your first agent-powered meeting.
Create your workspace and connect your calendar
Sign up for a free Tana account and connect your preferred calendar (Google Calendar or Outlook). Tana will automatically sync your meetings and make them available for AI agent processing.
Define your first AI agent with custom skills
Use Tana's Skills builder to define what your AI agent should do during meetings. Choose from pre-built skills like 'Create Jira ticket,' 'Draft PRD,' or 'Log CRM update.' You can customize triggers and outputs without writing any code.
Connect your tool integrations via MCP
Navigate to the Integrations section and connect your existing tools like GitHub, Jira, Linear, Slack, and HubSpot. Tana's Modular Connectors Platform (MCP) handles authentication and data mapping automatically.
Join a meeting and watch Tana work
Start any scheduled meeting on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. Tana's agent will join silently, listen to the conversation, and begin executing your defined skills—creating tickets, updating docs, and logging decisions in real time.
