Why Sauna

Built around your work.

  • Action

    Beyond retrieval

    Sauna finds what's relevant across your tools and then does the task — the draft, the ticket, the reply — not just a link or a summary.

  • Memory

    It remembers your work

    Your projects, people, and decisions, kept across sessions, not just an index of documents.

  • Everywhere

    Every surface

    Web, iMessage, Slack, email, and Superhuman, shared with your team.

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.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

We use Sana for search. Does Sauna replace it?

Sauna searches and recalls across your tools too, but its job is to act on what it finds — draft, file, reply, follow up. For pure enterprise search and meeting recall, Sana is built for that.

Does Sauna handle meetings?

Sauna can pull context, draft notes, and follow up on action items across your tools. Its focus is doing the work, not being a dedicated meeting recorder.

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.
