100%. I know this isn’t a specific feature request, but if I were to title it I would call it “Polish your app to at least feature parity with competing free apps, before selling it as a paid app”

Tana feels half-baked right now and I think there’s similar sentiment on Slack.

The AI Chat in particular needs to have feature parity with either Notion AI (RAG-based Q&A) or Poe/TypingMind (an unopinionated LLM client).

Right now it’s as basic as someone’s overnight hackathon project built with the Vercel AI SDK. Actually, worse than open source hackathon chat UIs I’ve tried: it doesn’t follow the structured output of Tana nodes format 100% of the time, and doesn’t accept multimodal input.

Not to mention they decided to include Dall-E and charge for it, when even ChatGPT offers it for free. I think if this is Midjourney or Flux Realism LoRA level of quality, it would be worth charging for. Otherwise it should be free as in beer.

Charging for Tana AI right now feels like a ripoff, even though they’re just passing on the cost of the OpenAI API to us.
