TMTPOST — Tanka, the world’s first AI-powered messaging platform with long-term memory, was launched on Tuesday, taking on conventional chat apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Backed by Shanda Group, a global investment firm with a track record of supporting over 75 venture funds and operating the Chen Institute (TCCI), a leading research institute focused on bridging human cognition and artificial intelligence, Tanka has introduced its proprietary MemGraph technology, which enables its AI to remember and learn from past conversations, creating a smarter, more efficient business communication tool.

Tanka’s key differentiator is its ability to offer real-time, context-aware insights and proactive follow-ups—revolutionizing the way teams store and utilize knowledge.

Tanka: AI-Powered Work Assistant

"After years working at Meta, TikTok and my own startup, Mindverse, I saw firsthand how painful it is searching for past discussions, re-explaining things, and losing institutional knowledge. AI memory solves this problem at scale, and that's what led to Tanka AI," said Kisson Lin, the CEO of Tanka.

Apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams typically generate fragmented communication silos that make it hard for users to retain and retrieve important information. On average, teams waste 30% of their time searching for past information. Tanka’s AI-powered memory resolves this issue by recalling critical insights, decisions, and updates from previous conversations, saving teams from wasting time on repetitive tasks.

"Tanka doesn't just respond—it remembers, learns, and surfaces knowledge proactively. Whether it's a past conversation, a critical decision, or an ongoing project update, Tanka auto-retrieves in-context memories with critical insights, follow-ups and decisions, and organizes them in one place," Lin said.

Tanka is designed to enhance productivity by remembering key conversations, decisions, and insights. Using neuroscience-inspired AI technology, Tanka helps teams retain knowledge, make smarter decisions, and streamline workflows. With its innovative features and enterprise-grade security, Tanka aims to transform how organizations communicate, collaborate, and evolve.

Long-term memory (LTM) is the missing piece in AI evolution. Traditional AI tools rely on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which can retrieve information but struggles to understand context.

At the core of Tanka’s innovation is MemGraph, a cutting-edge AI memory technology designed to surpass the limitations of conventional AI assistants.

Tanka’s MemGraph is built to address these gaps by structuring knowledge hierarchically and incorporating multiple layers of contextual awareness.

Key features of MemGraph include:

Hierarchical Knowledge Representation: AI structures knowledge in layers, making it easier to connect related concepts, like a well-organized library.

Ontology Learning: AI categorizes and links knowledge dynamically, like a neural network of ideas, constantly mapping and refining connections between concepts.

Temporal Awareness: AI tracks changes over time, helping it consider past trends and evolving context, similar to how a strategist assesses past trends to make informed decisions.

Multi-Resolution Retrieval: AI retrieves information at different levels of detail, zooming in on specifics or summarizing broadly as needed.

In-context and Reinforcement Learning: Tanka's AI learns from user feedback in real time, adapting quickly without large-scale retraining.Smart Replies and Seamless Integration

In addition to MemGraph, Tanka has also created OMNE, a cutting-edge multi-agent AI framework designed to deliver personalized AI assistants for users. Recently, OMNE achieved the highest score on the GAIA benchmark for general-purpose AI assistants, surpassing models developed by Microsoft Research and other top institutions.

Tanka is not just another SaaS tool—it replaces rigid templates with AI - driven workflows, where natural language builds and adapts processes in real - time, like 3D - printing solutions instead of stacking LEGO blocks.

It boasts a personalized AI assistant for every user, capable of summarizing conversations, retrieving important decisions, and even generating contextually accurate smart replies.

With integrations across major platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Outlook, and Gmail, Tanka bridges communication silos by responding intelligently to messages regardless of the app being used.

The company claims that since its pilot launch in October 2024, Tanka has generated over 35,000 smart replies—an average of 16.5 replies per user per month. This has saved teams the equivalent of 111 workdays, underscoring Tanka’s potential to drive productivity across organizations.

Tanka has also prioritized security, ensuring its platform meets the highest industry standards for data encryption and compliance. Notably, Tanka does not use customer data to train its AI models, giving users full control over their information and guaranteeing transparency in data governance.

Tanka is more than just a messaging tool—it’s a platform that redefines how businesses work and collaborate. By incorporating AI-powered long-term memory into everyday communication, Tanka is enabling smarter decision-making, more efficient workflows, and better knowledge retention.

The era of static software is over. AI has already revolutionized how we interact with technology—now, AI with memory is transforming how organizations think, operate, and endure. Memory is the DNA of an organization, carrying its knowledge, decisions, and vision forward.

Tanka doesn't just boost productivity; it ensures businesses evolve, adapt, and build lasting legacies. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a paradigm shift. AI is no longer a passive tool; it's an active, evolving partner, making work smarter, decisions sharper, and knowledge immortal. The future belongs to organizations that remember.

As organizations increasingly rely on AI to enhance productivity, Tanka’s launch signals the dawn of a new era in workplace communication.
