Sauna vs Dust
Dust you build. Sauna you talk to.
Dust is a strong platform for teams that want to build their own connected agents. Sauna is a coworker you just talk to: it learns how you work, connects to your tools, and does the task in plain language, with nothing to build.
Comparing Sauna and Dust? Dust is a platform for building custom AI agents on your company's data. Sauna is the coworker you just talk to — it remembers your work, connects to your tools, and acts across web, Slack, email, and iMessage with nothing to build.
Dust is an enterprise platform for building and running custom AI agents connected to a company's internal data and tools, with a focus on making AI multiplayer inside the organization. It raised a $40M Series B led by Abstract and Sequoia in 2026.
The difference: Build your own team agents, versus a coworker you ask in plain words.

It knows your work, and acts on it.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Do I have to build agents like in Dust?
No. With Sauna you ask in plain language and it does the task. Dust gives you a builder for custom agents; Sauna is the coworker you talk to without building anything.
Can Sauna connect to our internal tools?
Yes — thousands of apps, more than one account each, or your own over an API key or MCP server, right from chat.
Is my data safe?
Sauna reads only what you connect, and acts only after you approve. Your workspace and its memory are yours, not training data.
