Good to know

Questions, answered.

We use Glean for search. Does Sauna replace it?

Sauna does deep research and finds what's relevant too, but its job is to act on it — draft, file, reply, follow up — across your tools.

Does it connect to our internal tools?

Yes — thousands of apps, or your own over an API key or MCP server.

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.
