TANKA: AI agents for teams. AI made individuals faster. But work still stalls between people. With TANKA, the whole team moves faster, not just one person. A group message gets missed. A promised proposal never goes out. A quote is sent and nobody follows up. A new owner inherits a deal with no context. Work rarely stalls inside one person's task. It stalls between people. TANKA keeps your team's conversations as shared team memory, notices work that is about to stall, and prepares the next step. Each member's AI understands that person's work and context, and they connect with each other. Same headcount, stronger team. WHAT TANKA DOES 1. Remembers: collects people, deals, decisions, commitments and history from chat, email, files and meeting notes. 2. Understands: knows whose deal it is, what was decided and what is still open, and works from that context. 3. Reminds: keeps track of commitments and deadlines, and flags stalled work before you have to ask. 4. Prepares: drafts the reply and lines up what to do next. Preparation comes first. The final call is always yours. PERSONAL AI VS. TEAM AI Personal AI makes you faster. TANKA moves your team's work forward. - Memory: remembers conversations and documents, and retrieves what you need - Proactive: notices team commitments, deadlines and stalled work, and tells you first - Shared rules: applies the team's latest rules and deal history across owners - Handover: when an owner changes, the team's memory and deal history carry over - Agent-to-agent: each member's AI passes work context to the people who need it - Permissions: follows your team's access rights and keeps information within each role's scope Features vary by plan, settings and connected apps. WHERE TEAMS USE IT - Sales and customer work: what happened, what was promised, where things stand. Just ask TANKA. - Projects: understand why things are the way they are without digging through Slack, email and minutes. - Handover and onboarding: the team's memory becomes every newcomer's first mentor. - Routine work: save what works as an SOP and reuse it across the team.

Chain a few timed steps into a "sequence", press play, and Stepwise walks you through it — one step at a time. Each step counts down on its own. When it ends, the next one starts automatically with a sound and a spoken announcement of what's coming up. You never have to look at your phone mid-routine. ■ Made for · Morning routines: stretch, meditate, write down today's three things · Focus work: Pomodoro, with automatic repeat rounds · Workouts and stretching: one set after another, no stopwatch fiddling · Cooking and pour-over coffee: bloom, pour, brew · Winding down: breathe, stretch, lights out ■ What it does · Sequence timing: set a duration per step; auto-advance or wait for your confirmation · Spoken announcements: hear the next step's name, eyes closed · Adjust while running: skip, go back, restart a step, or add +1 minute · Repeat rounds: run the whole sequence a few more times automatically · Finish signal: end the last step with a chime or your own spoken message · Live Activity: see the countdown on the Lock Screen, pause or continue right there · Home Screen widget: start a specific sequence with one tap · Usage stats: a diary of every run, with a 7-day rhythm chart, a calendar and streaks · Folders: keep your sequences organized · Share: import via QR code, or export CSV as a backup · Design with AI: paste the prompt from our support page into your favorite AI, then import the CSV it creates · Fully offline: no account, no ads, no data collection ■ Free vs Premium The free version includes every feature above, with up to 5 sequences and the last 30 days of stats.
