Overview

Overview

Sauna is Wordware’s agent for recurring work across business apps. A user can brief it through Slack or iMessage, forward an email, or work in the web app. Its routines can use connected tools and workspace notes to prepare an update or take an action. Sauna asks before acting by default, and users can enable autonomous handling for specific routines.

Its distinctive feature is building small apps over live business data. An operations lead can request a pipeline dashboard or a customer handoff tracker and share it with coworkers. The generated app and the permissions it depends on still need a review before a team relies on them. Compare with Viktor7.2 out of 10 for a shared teammate focused on Slack and Teams and Grok Bot7.0 out of 10 for shared bots that can work in a cloud browser.

Use Cases

  1. Prepare a weekly pipeline report from CRM changes.
  2. Build a dashboard over payment or support data.
  3. Triage an inbox and prepare replies for approval.
