What is Sauna?
Sauna is an AI teammate for individuals and teams that can research, follow up, and build apps using context from work tools. It remembers information from connected emails, documents, messages, and files, then acts across the places people already work. Sauna is available through a web app, iOS app, iMessage, Slack, and email, with additional messaging and work surfaces also supported.
Sauna Features:
Connected Work Context: Sauna connects to more than 3,000 apps and can use information from emails, documents, Slack messages, and files as working context.
Cloud Routines: It can keep working in the cloud around the clock, drafting messages, tracking important items, filing tickets, and delivering briefings.
Multiple Work Surfaces: Use Sauna through the web or iOS app, iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Superhuman.
Voice Replies: Sauna can read email and social messages, draft replies in your voice, and answer straightforward messages on your behalf.
Shared Team Memory: Teams can share a Sauna's context, while peer-to-peer access lets colleagues ask one another's Saunas for knowledge or perspective.
Apps and Routines: Sauna can build apps and routines for you and your team, and can act across connected tools from plain-language requests.
Approval Controls: Sauna waits for your approval before writing to connected apps, and you choose which context to share with teammates.
Sauna Benefits:
Less App Switching: Giving Sauna requests from the work surfaces you already use reduces the need to move between apps to handle small tasks.
Work Keeps Moving: Cloud-based routines can advance follow-ups and other recurring work while you are away from your desk.
Fewer Repeated Explanations: Persistent context lets Sauna draw on information it has already learned instead of starting from scratch with each request.
Faster Team Handoffs: Shared context and peer-to-peer questions help colleagues find relevant knowledge without interrupting one another.
More Control: Approval steps and sharing permissions let you decide what Sauna acts on and which colleagues can access your context.
Use Cases:
Inbox Follow-Ups: Forward email to Sauna to triage messages, draft replies in your voice, and arrange follow-ups.
Slack Triage: Ask Sauna to summarize missed Slack conversations, sort issues, or turn a thread into a work artifact.
Social Replies: Use Sauna to handle straightforward LinkedIn or Instagram messages and flag conversations that need your judgment.
Team Knowledge Sharing: Ask a colleague's Sauna for project context or a perspective when you need information without interrupting them.
Recurring Workflows: Set up routines that track important work, file tickets, prepare briefings, or build an app around a team's needs.
