Users can interact with Hana by mentioning it within a Google Chat thread. For instance, a user might ask, "@Hana summarize this thread and tell me the next step." Hana then analyzes the conversation and connected sources to provide a summary and identify the subsequent action. It can also answer questions with evidence by referencing specific documents or past decisions, such as asking, "@Hana what did we decide about this, and who owns it?"
The core value proposition of Hana lies in its ability to turn any Google Chat message into a tangible next step. This includes creating reminders, tasks, polls, or summaries without users needing to leave the chat interface. The application distinguishes between the Google Chat interface, where most user interactions occur, and a dashboard for administrative setup, source control, and rollout management.
Hana supports a structured onboarding process designed for quick value realization. Users install Hana in Google Chat, connect at least one active space or source, and then begin interacting with Hana by asking real team questions. The system guides users to ask for specific outputs like summaries, owners, reminders, polls, tasks, or replies with evidence. The goal is to achieve a grounded answer and a visible next-step artifact within the first day of use.
The tool is built on a trust layer that grounds answers in approved workspace evidence, pulling context from sources like Google Drive and other connected systems. It emphasizes privacy and security, requiring no credit card for initial setup and utilizing Google OAuth for authentication. Hana aims to solve the problem of buried decisions, slow information retrieval, and scattered knowledge by providing a unified context layer directly within the team's primary communication tool.
