Questions, answered.
Will it submit applications for me?
No. Sauna reads the RFP, drafts the narrative, and tracks the dates; submitting and the final say stay yours.
Can it use our past proposals?
Yes. Connect your proposal archive and it pulls your proven language and tailors it to each funder's priorities.
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.
