Why Sauna

Built around your work.

  • Your work

    It knows your context

    Workspace and session memory hold your projects, the people, and your decisions, so it isn't starting from a search box each time.

  • Your tools

    Acts in your stack

    It drafts tickets, emails, and PRs across Slack, Linear, GitHub, Gmail, and thousands of other apps, and waits for your approval.

  • Research too

    Deep research, then action

    Sauna does deep web research and company lookup, then takes the next step in your tools instead of handing you a citation.

In context

It knows your work, and acts on it.

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.

Questions, answered.

Isn't Perplexity already great at research?

It is, for the open web. Sauna does deep research too, but its job is your work: it remembers your context and acts inside your tools, not just a browser tab.

Does Sauna search the web?

Yes. Web search, deep research, and company lookup. The difference is what it does next, which is act inside your stack with memory of your work.

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.
