Redwood City, CA – [18th Feb, 2025] – Tanka, the world’s first AI-powered messenger with long-term memory, today announced its official launch, pioneering AI-assisted business communication by addressing the problem of “Organizational Amnesia”. Unlike conventional AI assistants that lack business context and forget past interactions, Tanka remembers and contextually retrieves critical workplace knowledge, ensuring seamless collaboration across teams and empowering informed decision-making.

While mainstream AI chatbots focus on individual-based conversations, Tanka is built for the teams, solving a more complex technical challenge—preserving institutional knowledge across chat, email, and connected workflows. With teams wasting 30% of their time searching for past information, Tanka serves as an AI-powered second brain, ensuring critical decisions, insights, and conversations are never lost.

“Today’s workplace chat is broken. Tanka is turning chat into actionable intelligence with AI memory,” said Kisson Lin, CEO of Tanka. “Unlike traditional business chat apps, our AI 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 ensures no knowledge falls through the cracks.”

Turning Chat Into Actionable Intelligence

Tanka addresses the challenges of workplace communication, such as:

• For sales and support teams overwhelmed by recurring questions on Slack or WhatsApp, Tanka’s AI provides fast and accurate AI smart replies, grounded in their team’s collective memories. 
• For onboarding new hires, Tanka provides instant access to institutional knowledge, reducing ramp-up time and cost of employee turnover.
• For growing SMBs that suffer from lost information and siloed decisions, Tanka ensures key insights are captured and shared effortlessly, helping them to make informed intelligent decisions.
• For researchers and professional agencies, Tanka brings team collaboration and AI knowledge together, merging external and internal context without leaving the app. 
• For individuals who struggle with writing messages and emails with the right tones, Tanka crafts the most polished and professional responses based on their context.
