Built around your work.
Your work
It knows your context
Workspace and session memory hold your projects, people, and decisions, so it isn't starting from a search box each time.
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 back a citation.
Connected
Your whole stack
Thousands of apps, plus your own over MCP or an API key, on every surface your team uses.
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.
Isn't You.com already great at search?
It is, for the open web. Sauna searches and does deep research too, but its job is your work: it remembers your context and acts inside your tools, not just a search result.
Does Sauna search the web?
Yes — web search, deep research, and company lookup. The difference is what it does next, which is act across 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.
