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.

Does it cite its sources?

Yes. Sauna's research is cited so you can verify every claim before it goes in a story.

Can it transcribe interviews?

Yes — upload the audio and it returns a transcript with quotes and timestamps.

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.
