After months of handsâon testing with todayâs headline AI and agentsâChatGPT Team, Slack AI, Glean, Manus, and several stealth contendersâIâve realised the real blocker isnât raw model IQ, itâs context blindness. The AI Agent nowadays can browse the web and click APIs, but they know nothing about your internal history, so their output feels like an eager internâs first draft next to a veteran employeeâs work.
â They run web searches, yet without deal terms or house style, the queries miss the mark and the research veers offâtrack.
â Weekly reports are reâgenerated from scratch because the agent doesnât see the spreadsheet where last quarterâs KPIs actually live.
â Slide decks look polishedâuntil someone asks, âWhere did this figure come from?â and no link points back to the pricing thread or the finance model that created it.
A Week withâŻTankaâWhat Surprised Me
Tanka is an AI-powered messenger designed for teams that does more than just chat: it remembers everything. Think Slack or Gmail, but with AI long-term memory baked inâso your team's messages, emails, docs, and decisions are always connected, searchable, and actionable. Whether it's surfacing key context automatically, generating business documents, or providing AI-driven follow-ups, Tanka acts like a digital colleague who never forgets.
I plugged Tanka into two real teams (a 20âperson startup and a 200âperson scaleâup). By day five, the workflow felt different.
â Context arrives automatically: Search ârenewal riskâ and Tanka not only finds the exact customer eâmail but also the Slack thread and follow-ups youâd forgotten.
â Outputs you can ship: Ask for a business plan and Tanka compiles it, preâlinked to your internal docsâfinance signs off without reâcrunching numbers.
â No onboarding ceremony: Connect Slack, Gmail, Notion onceâTanka keeps learning quietly in the background.
A 30âSecond Look Under the Hood
Tanka continuously listens to team conversations, emails, and document changes, storing everything in a versioned memory graph. Every query and task is enhanced by this deep memory layer. It feels less like âchatting with a botâ and more like asking a colleague who's been there since day one.
â Streaming updates mean answers are always fresh.
â Source links stay attached, so you can trace or share with confidence.
âYour data stays privateâin your cloudânever used to train external models.
