Use Cases

20 starter prompts grouped by category, hit Run → to open it in Sauna and start a session.

The shortest answer to "what should I have Sauna do?" is: anything you'd ask a sharp chief of staff to do. Each card carries a surface tag, Webapp, iMessage, Slack, Email, or Superhuman, and the prompt shown is the literal text you send on that surface. Hit Run → to open the prompt in Sauna and start a session.
