A different way to get work done
Tanka AI alternatives.
Find your kind of assistant.
An agent platform for startup teams that turns connected chat, mail and files into one shared long-term memory (EverMemOS) its agents read, write and act from. If your priorities have changed, these 5 alternatives offer different ways forward.
What would you like to change?
You don’t need the assistant with the longest feature list. You need the one that fits the work you actually do.
Start with Beside
Help with ongoing context
A business phone line whose AI receptionist answers the calls and texts you miss, books the job, writes the summary, and pushes it into your CRM. It is worth comparing with Tanka AI when your priority is memory between conversations and access to connected information.
Check Beside’s plan limits and the exact apps your work depends on. A similar feature list does not guarantee that your existing Tanka AI setup will transfer unchanged.

A closer look at your alternatives
Here’s where each one makes sense—and what you give up in return.
01
Beside: help with ongoing context
A business phone line whose AI receptionist answers the calls and texts you miss, books the job, writes the summary, and pushes it into your CRM. It is worth comparing with Tanka AI when your priority is memory between conversations and access to connected information.
- Remembers you between conversations
- Reads your existing files and apps
The trade-off. Check Beside’s plan limits and the exact apps your work depends on. A similar feature list does not guarantee that your existing Tanka AI setup will transfer unchanged.
Where you can use it
Web / desktop, Mobile app
02
Micro: meetings and follow-up documents
Micro puts email, CRM, meetings, tasks and docs behind one login, with an AI agent that drafts, files and enriches them for you. Consider it if you want meeting capture beyond your current Tanka AI setup.
- Joins and records your meetings
- Creates and edits documents
The trade-off. Check Micro’s plan limits and the exact apps your work depends on. A similar feature list does not guarantee that your existing Tanka AI setup will transfer unchanged.

Do Anything: research and document work

Meta personal agent for delegated everyday tasks, web actions and ongoing goals. Consider it if you want cloud computer and web browsing beyond your current Tanka AI setup.
