An AI-native workspace for tech-savvy professionals who want to stay on top of everything—without the busywork. Tana helps you connect and organize information so you get it where you need it, in a super flexible format.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Olav, co-founder of Tana! 👋
We're so excited to finally launch! For the past few years, we've been heads down building a workspace to reinvent how humans, teams, and computers work together.
🫠 The Problem
Computers were supposed to be bicycles for our minds. Instead, they've become hamster wheels. We're drowning in busywork—context switching between documents, spreadsheets, endless chats, and loads of single-purpose apps. Our information is siloed and stuck, rarely showing up when we need it. Plugging AI into this mess will only make it worse (imagine the notification hell when AI agents join the party across all your different apps).
The journey began with a prototype built to scratch our own itch, drawing from decades of experience in tech (including Grim's work on Google Wave for all you OGs out there). The prototype combined a knowledge graph, an outline editor, and Supertags—an innovative feature inspired by Smalltalk (one of the original OOP languages). It was rough, but we had never worked more effectively.
✨ What is Tana
Tana is a new kind of workspace that makes interacting with computers flow naturally. The infrastructure is fundamentally different from most other information processing systems, so it might seem a bit foreign at first. These are three of the core pillars of Tana.
A Knowledge Graph That Thinks Like You Do
Most tools force you to organize information in rigid hierarchies. Tana's knowledge graph mirrors how your brain works—making it easy to connect and reuse information regardless of where it was stored.
Mechanisms to connect and proactively resurface information
Instead of manually hunting for information, you can set up customizable feeds that bring the information you need, where you need it. These are highly configurable and can use the graph structure to pull contextually relevant information (e.g. show discussion points for this specific meeting or this specific person)
Supertags: From Chaos to Structure in Seconds
Our most-loved feature turns unstructured information into structured data instantly. Inspired by object-oriented programming, Supertags let you define what type of information something is (e.g. a task, a project, a client, a bug etc). With this, you can build powerful workflows and AI agents that understand your information and know what to do with it.
This is the tip of the iceberg. Tana has loads of powerful features, including a smooth outline editor, references to keep information in sync, backlinks to increase discoverability, powerful view options, commands, events, publish webpages, templates, and more.
🚀 How to get started
