Recently, the Tanka AI team under Shanda Group made a high-profile debut in the North American market and launched an innovative product that subverts the awareness of traditional instant messaging (IM) tools. This IM tool called Tanka introduces AI long-term memory technology into the field of corporate communication for the first time, aiming to improve team collaboration efficiency and build the team's "second brain".
Unlike the mainstream consumer-oriented IM products on the market, Tanka focuses on the enterprise-level market and adopts an open integration strategy, which can seamlessly connect with mainstream communication tools such as Slack, WhatsApp, and Gmail. This design allows companies to enjoy the efficient communication experience brought by Tanka without changing their existing work habits and platforms.
Tanka's core competitiveness lies in its unique AI long-term memory technology. This technology can automatically record and store all chat records, business backgrounds and work habits of team members on various platforms, thereby building a team-specific "memory knowledge base". Through Tanka, team members can centrally manage communication information scattered on different platforms, achieve seamless cross-platform switching, greatly improve work efficiency, and bid farewell to information silos.
In addition, Tanka creates a shared context based on teamwork. Every team member can use the information provided by AI assistants to quickly understand the project background and master historical communication records, thereby solving problems more efficiently and reducing the cost of repeated communication. Tanka also has built-in powerful translation functions to break language barriers and help global teams achieve barrier-free communication.
It is worth noting that Tanka's product strategy is completely different from the development path of all-round office suites of domestic large manufacturers. Tanka chose "open" rather than "closed", focusing on building a shared memory layer by aggregating cross-platform data, providing users with more flexible and open choices.
Based on its powerful "memory" capabilities, Tanka can provide AI intelligent responses with great context. For example, in the group chat scenario, AI business assistants can intelligently answer new employees' questions based on historical conversations and background information, help new employees get started quickly, and shorten training time; in the HR recruitment scenario, AI assistants can automatically screen resumes and intelligently recommend appropriate candidates based on job needs and company background, significantly improving recruitment efficiency.
It is reported that Tanka's long-term memory technology originated from the Omne multi-agent framework of the AI team of Shanda Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute. The application of this technology undoubtedly brings new imagination space to enterprise-level IM products. It is worth waiting for us to see whether Tanka AI can gain a foothold in the highly competitive North American market and lead the new direction of IM products.
