In their own words
Clara
Clara is a web-based AI scheduling assistant that manages meeting arrangements through email. It reads email threads, proposes times, handles replies, and confirms meetings; if invitees do not respond, it follows up in the thread. For rescheduling, it finds another time, cancels the original invite, and sends an updated one. It also coordinates group meetings, tracks participant responses, and supports calls across time zones. Users can set scheduling windows, buffer times, meeting types, priority contacts, and communication preferences. Clara works natively with Google Workspace and Microsoft Outlook and Exchange; its homepage also displays Zoom and Teams among associated tools. The maker says no human reads scheduling emails and that customer data is not used to train its models. Its privacy policy names OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google as AI providers that may receive email and calendar content to generate responses. The Free plan is free for 14 days and five meetings. Standard is $80 a month for 30 meetings; the free-plan limit stops further scheduling until upgrade.
Tana
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.
