The AI agent for retail buyers
Sauna researches vendors and trends, builds the buy sheet by style and size curve, drafts purchase-order terms in your sheet, and chases sample and confirmation status with suppliers over email.
What it does
What Sauna does for retail buyers
- 01
Build the buy sheet
Sauna assembles the seasonal buy sheet in Google Sheets — styles, size curves, costs, and target retails — from the assortment plan, ready for you to set quantities.
- 02
Compare vendor quotes
It reads supplier quotes from your inbox and Airtable, normalizes cost, MOQ, and lead time into one table, and flags the best landed cost per style.
- 03
Chase sample status
Sauna drafts the follow-up emails to vendors on outstanding samples and PO confirmations and tracks who has replied in your tracker.
- 04
Brief the trend read
It scans the market and competitor sites you point it at and drafts a trend summary in Notion to anchor the next buy.

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 send purchase orders to suppliers?
No. Sauna drafts the PO terms and the vendor emails, but nothing goes out and no order is committed until you review and approve it.
Can it negotiate price?
It surfaces comparable costs and drafts a counter you can send, but it won't agree to terms — the negotiation stays in your hands.
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.
