What it is
Wordware currently describes Sauna as an AI teammate that uses team context to suggest or carry out work. It connects emails, documents, Slack messages, and files, and says it works with more than 3,000 tools and apps, including through custom MCP connectors. Users can work through its web and iOS apps or connect with iMessage, Slack, Gmail, and Superhuman. Sauna asks for approval by default; autonomous handling must be enabled for a specific routine. The maker says setup requires no technical knowledge and most people are up and running in under 10 minutes. It says user data is not used to train models and personal context is private by default. Sauna states SOC 2 Type II compliance, TLS 1.2+ in transit, and AES-256 or equivalent at rest. Its free plan is listed at $0/month, with 100 credits per day or 200 with a verified card on file. Paid plans are $29 a month for Lite, $99 a month for Basic, $299 a month for Pro, and $999 a month for Team. Wordware’s earlier V1 documentation describes a prompt editor with logic and flow nodes; V1 prompts on free accounts are public by default.

The review
Wordware now centers on Sauna, an AI teammate for teams that want software to work across their communications and files. It is best suited to people who can benefit from connecting several work tools and delegating recurring tasks. Its approval-first approach gives teams control over actions, though the monthly prices climb quickly as capabilities expand.
Overview
Sauna draws on email, documents, Slack messages, and files to keep context for its work. It can suggest actions for review or carry out tasks autonomously when that option is enabled for a specific routine. This makes it useful for teams looking to delegate repeatable work, while the approval default offers a practical checkpoint before actions are taken.
Wordware also documents a separate V1 prompt editor for building, testing, collaborating on, and deploying prompts with logic and flow nodes. Free-account prompts are public by default; paid users can make them private. That distinction matters for anyone considering V1 for sensitive prompt work.
Key features
- Connected context: Sauna connects emails, documents, Slack messages, and files, and says it works with more than 3,000 tools and apps, including custom MCP connectors. Broad connections can reduce the effort of gathering information across services, provided the tools a team relies on are supported.
- Action control: Sauna asks for approval by default. Teams can enable autonomous handling for individual routines, making it possible to reserve unattended execution for tasks they choose.
- Ways to use it: The service works through web and iOS apps and connects with iMessage, Slack, Gmail, and Superhuman. Scheduled runs and web browsing are also supported.
- Privacy and security: Sauna says customer data is not used to train models and personal context is private by default. It states that it is SOC 2 Type II compliant, encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256 or equivalent, and hosts U.S. customer infrastructure and data in the United States. Google API data is used only to provide requested features. Users can request removal of their account, content, and memory, completed within 30 days.
Pricing
Sauna has a free plan with 100 credits per day, or 200 with a verified card on file. That daily allowance offers a way to start without a monthly charge, but it is the only stated usage cap, so readers should weigh it against their expected workload. There is no free trial.
- Lite — $29 a month, billed per month: Sauna Lite model, iMessage and Slack connections, more than 3,000 integrations, cloud storage, and persistent memory. This is the entry paid tier for users who need connected context and memory without access to all LLMs.
- Basic — $99 a month, billed per month: Everything in Lite plus access to all LLMs. It suits buyers who need broader model choice; the price increase over Lite is substantial for that addition.
- Pro — $299 a month, billed per month: Everything in Basic, plus shared folders and custom models. This tier is aimed at teams that need shared organization or model customization.
- Team — $999 a month, billed per month: Everything in Pro, plus Brain Access, expanded custom models, and browser automation. The added automation and customization target more demanding team workflows, at a steep monthly commitment.
No seat counts or credit quotas are stated for the paid tiers. Wordware’s pricing FAQ directs unanswered questions to [email protected].
Platforms
Wordware lists iOS and web platforms. Sauna also says it connects with iMessage, Slack, Gmail, and Superhuman.
Who it's for
Sauna fits teams that want an assistant to draw on connected work context and either prepare actions for approval or run selected routines automatically. Its integration breadth and persistent memory are most compelling when work spans several services. The free tier can suit light exploration; teams that need all LLMs, shared folders, custom models, or browser automation should compare those needs with the higher monthly tiers. Users seeking the documented V1 prompt editor should account for the public-by-default setting on free accounts.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Context across email, documents, Slack, and files can support work across services; more than 3,000 integrations and custom MCP connectors offer broad connection options; approval is the default, with autonomy enabled per routine; the free plan includes a daily credit allowance.
Alternatives
For a broader assistant across web, desktop, and mobile, consider Microsoft Copilot, which has a free plan with access limited by capacity and usage. Teams looking at another agent-oriented option can compare Agentforce Vibes, which includes Agentforce Vibes in its free Salesforce Foundations plan. For a chat API with a free tier, trial, and self-hosted platform support, QuickBlox Chat API is a different fit. SEPIA is a free option spanning mobile, desktop, web, and self-hosted platforms. Meya suits buyers considering paid conversational software with a free trial; its Dev plan is $99 a month and includes 500 MAU per month, two team members, and seven-day log retention. Bottr offers a free tier and an Unlimited option subject to a Fair Usage Policy. Dust offers a free plan with 500 lifetime credits and paid tiers priced in EUR. Falcon Builder is another freemium option with API and web platforms.

Verdict
Choose Wordware if your team wants an AI teammate that can use connected work context, with approval built in and the option to automate specific routines. The broad integration claim and privacy measures make it a credible fit for teams weighing connected assistance, but the value depends on the daily free allowance or the paid features you need. Look elsewhere if you need private V1 prompts on a free account or want advanced capabilities without committing to a high monthly plan.
