Favourite Tana Feature You're Loving Right Now?

by•

There are so many great features of Tana - so it's sometimes hard to choose just one. But I'd love to hear from the community about the feature you are loving right now? What's giving you the most value? Personally for me it's Related Content + AI Chat Agents. Related Content puts so much information at my fingertips it's incredible. AI Chat Agents have replaced all of my Claude Projects & CustomGPT's. So now I have one app that doesn't just organise for me - but also get's work done. Here's how I use Related Content on my day page: https://youtu.be/IOUmLMv1OEI What about you? What's your favourite feature right now?

I'm all about the voice memo's! Really helps me get away from the desk and do work while on the go. Especially like to use it when I'm driving or walking/running as I've found I do my best thinking through talking.

@aurorakb YES!!! Voice memos for the win. I don't do anything without voice anymore (even when I'm at my desk)

Mine is the ability to make custom commands--and my favorite command is "Insert cloned copies of nodes" so that I can have structural templates for say, case studies, or thriller RPG campaigns, and summon a template I can type directly into without breaking my original template. Process for people who are bad at process, like me ;)

@lariccia I love the clone command too - it feels like a nice lightweight way to add templates into Tana - without having to mess around with Supertag Content Template.

@lariccia I love this workflow! The below example is not a recommendation, just want to show some different ways the same thing can be achieved:

Recently, I've started using Insert Tana paste instead of cloned node. That way I can make adjustments to the inserted 'clone' based on the fields of the target node I'm inserting into, using title expressions.

How are you using AI Chat Agents to replace Claude Projects/Custom GPTs? I'd love to see a pro workflow that can replace these.

@steveb I showed how I use them to chat with meeting notes in this video here: https://youtu.be/XlptboNRz4M (it's about 8 minutes in). But I also built quite a few for my writing processes that I'm planning on in an upcoming video.

Favourite or most used 🤔 Always hard to decide, but I think Ctrl K 'Set' is it. Or maybe just the command palette in general, though it has lots of potential for improvement. If I couldn't do basics like inline referencing I'd be very sad, so that may be a favourite too? :))

@odinu There are still so many foundational features in Tana that are just so good. I use CMD+K like 100 times a day, I just love it.

This is a difficult one (because there are a lot), but I have a custom Tana app for 1) fetching the text from a website, article or YouTube video, 2) extracting Trends, Vision, Action, Tech and Culture takeaways, and 3) allowing me to interrogate the content of the video. "Summarize what @evielync says about Related content in her video". Just super handy when I need to quickly interact with content online and then add it to my graph.

@bragebang the fact that Tana can do this still blows my mind. There are so many workflows I just take for granted now that speed my work up & make it a joy.

Related Content has surprised me. It brings up the right info exactly when I need it.

If I had to choose it would be AI chat
