Braina works with software and sites including MS Word, WordPress, Gmail and Visual Studio, and integrates with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral and Meta Llama. Its Android and iOS apps can act as wireless microphones to control a PC over Wi-Fi. Braina describes its privacy model as hybrid, with most data stored locally.

Tana is an agentic meeting platform that proposes work during native video calls. Its AI can file issues, draft follow-up emails, update a CRM, and log decisions while a meeting is taking place. Tana says calls are captured locally from the user’s computer, so no bot appears as a participant in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. Each proposed issue, email, CRM update, or decision is presented for a person to accept, edit, or dismiss. Listed integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Claude, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, and MCP. Its MCP server and API let tools and agents read and write a workspace, with proposal review matching the built-in AI process. Tana offers web access and desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux, but no mobile apps are listed. The Free plan includes five meetings per month, one calendar, and 50 AI queries. Paid plans start at $30/user/mo, and a 30-day trial is listed.
