Good to know

Questions, answered.

Poe lets me pick any model. Does Sauna?

Sauna runs on frontier models and picks the right one for the task. The difference is what it does next: it remembers your work and acts across your real tools, rather than being a model picker.

Is Sauna just another chat app?

No. Sauna remembers your work, connects to your tools, and finishes tasks across Slack, email, iMessage, and the web — not a chat box you re-brief each session.

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.
