Ask in chat. It does the work.

Sauna shows up where you already work — the web app, Slack, email, iMessage, and Superhuman. It reads what it needs, does the task, and comes back with the draft for your approval.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Will it decide what to redact?

It suggests responsive documents and a draft exemption citation for each, but you make the disclosure and redaction decisions before anything goes out.

Could it miss responsive records?

It searches your connected Drive and lists candidates with sources; it flags the search scope so you can confirm coverage before responding.

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.
