Sauna vs ChatGPT
ChatGPT starts every chat from zero. Sauna already knows your work — it remembers what you've done, connects to the tools you use, and does the task instead of describing it.
Comparing Sauna and ChatGPT? Both are conversational AI, but ChatGPT is a chat window you re-brief each session, while Sauna is a coworker that remembers your work, connects to your tools, and finishes the task. If you've outgrown the blank prompt, this is the difference.
ChatGPT is OpenAI's chat assistant — excellent at answering and drafting in a conversation, with some connectors, but built around a chat window rather than your work.
The difference: Two memories that work together: what should stay true, and what was said.

Memory
Workspace notes hold what should stay true. Session memory holds what's been said. You stop re-briefing it every morning.
Action
It reads files, runs code, and researches, then gives you something finished: a doc as a PDF, a draft ready to send.
Connections
Connect thousands of apps, with more than one account each. Anything missing, you add with an API key or an MCP server from chat.
In context
Sauna remembers your projects and the people in them, connects to the tools your team runs, and finishes the task — across the web app, Slack, email, iMessage, and Superhuman.
Good to know
No. Sauna remembers your work, connects to your real tools, and finishes tasks across Slack, email, and the web. It isn't a chat box you re-prime each session.
Anything that writes to your tools waits for your approval. Sauna drafts it; you decide whether it goes.
Sauna reads only what you connect, and acts only after you approve. Your workspace and its memory are yours, not training data.
