About Hana AI
Hana is an AI assistant installed in Google Chat. Team members mention @Hana in a live thread to summarize it, recover past decisions, find who owns a task and turn a message into a reminder, task, poll or evidence-backed reply without leaving the conversation.
A dashboard is used for setup: workspace admins connect spaces, docs, files and approved sources, manage sync and permissions, review usage and control rollout, while regular users stay in Chat. The site recommends starting with one connected space and one real question, then asking for follow-through such as a reminder or digest. It signs in with Google OAuth and describes answers as grounded in approved sources.
No credit card is needed and setup is described as quick. The site has pages for pricing, industries, docs and example actions, and it is distributed through the Google Workspace Marketplace, with the install button opening Google Chat. Teams are encouraged to evaluate it by starting from one real message and checking that it recovers the missing context.
