Meet Saanora Moons: a team that keeps working

Start with Wibble

Everyone starts with Wibble. It can do anything you'd ask Mark: answer a question, research, write, plan, and get things done on the web. It wears a tiny crown, so you can always tell it apart, and you can give it another name when you meet.

Every moon is a soft mochi character with a colour, a shape and an accessory of its own. Its face says what it's up to: asleep, working, using its computer, waiting on you, or done with news.

When a job keeps needing a skill, Wibble suggests a teammate: a name, a focus, the job it would take on, and why. Nothing is added until you say yes.

A team, when the job needs one

Moons work together the way a small team does. One hands a piece of work to a teammate and waits for the answer. Open a group chat with up to 6 moons and talk to them all at once.

The Team page keeps one board: To do, Doing, Waiting on you, and Done. Each card says who handed it to whom. Drag a card onto a moon to hand it over, or add a task yourself. Anything that needs you sits in Waiting on you, so it's all in one place.

It asks first

An agent that acts for you has to be easy to trust. So before anything goes out in your name (an email, a post, a booking, a payment, a deletion), a moon asks. The card shows exactly what will go out. Approve it, change it or deny it, and after a yes you still get a few seconds to undo.

You choose how much each moon does on its own. Careful asks before it sends, posts, changes or deletes anything, and hands spending to you. Trusted does what you asked for on its own, and still asks before deleting or spending. Full access does everything on its own, and stops only if something looks wrong. New moons start on Careful.

Always allow is narrow on purpose. It covers one kind of action for one target: an email domain, a channel or a site. Yes to emailing one company isn't yes to emailing anyone, and spending and deleting can never be always allowed.

Some things a moon never does. It never types a password, a 2-step code or a card number, and never solves a "prove you're human" check. It hands those to you with a "Your turn" card. Type a code into the card and it goes straight into the waiting page; the moon never sees it. And when you want everything to stop, Stop all moons in the account menu pauses every moon at once.

A computer of its own

Every moon has its own computer: a desktop in the cloud, with a browser for the parts of a job that need one. Open its Computer panel and watch it work, live.

Press Take over at any time to drive it yourself, then hand it back. Sign in to a site once, and that moon stays signed in there. Nothing you type while you're in control reaches the moon.

When there's nothing to do, the computer goes to sleep and keeps everything as it was. Computer time is part of your weekly usage, so there's nothing extra to buy. Free runs 1 moon computer at a time, Lite 2 and Spark 5.

Real work, in the formats work comes in

Moons make the things work is made of. Word and PDF documents with numbered clauses, a letterhead, signature blocks, footnotes and a contents page. Redlines with tracked changes. Slides with pictures, real charts and speaker notes. Spreadsheets with working formulas and charts. Short videos with captions, sized for where they're going. And it can test a website and tell you what's broken.

Behind them are 336 playbooks for 28 kinds of work, each written the way a senior person in that field does the job: a teacher's test with its answer key, a lawyer's notice, a developer's pull request. A moon looks up the one that fits, and works anything else the way a professional in that field would. In regulated work it drafts, and a professional signs off.

A moon for every kind of work

The tools it works with

A moon comes with what it needs for real work, and you can switch each skill on or off.

• Files: a folder of its own. It reads what you add, keeps what it makes, and keeps things tidy.
• Plugins for 172 apps, like Notion, Linear and GitHub. An app stays off for every moon until you switch it on, and you choose, tool by tool, whether a moon may use it, must ask first, or can't.
• Schedules: ask for one, like every weekday at 8, or say yes when a moon offers one. It can also keep an eye on a page or a feed, and wake only when something changes.
• Pictures and documents: it paints pictures right in the conversation, the way Mark does in chat, and makes PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets and slides.
• Voice: talk to it instead of typing. Your words land in the box, so you can check them before you send.

It learns how you like things

Every result has a thumbs up and a thumbs down, and a thumbs down lets you say why. Both go into the moon's notebook, which goes into every run. You can teach it notes of your own, and pin the ones that matter most.

You don't have to wait for it to finish, either. Send a message while it works and tap Add to what it's doing; it picks it up at its next step. And when a result is just right, Save as routine turns it into something you can run again.

Orbit: moons made by Saanora

Not sure where to start? Orbit holds moons made by Saanora, each with a clear job and the routines to do it. Dapple writes you a one-page brief before a meeting. Pootle plans a trip and keeps the budget honest. Noodle explains a topic, then quizzes you on it. Jingle plans and drafts a month of posts. Snippet gives you the week's news on your topics in five minutes. Chipper never lets a deal go quiet.

Add one and it's yours to change: its name, its look, its job. Every one works with nothing connected, and does more once you connect the apps it suggests.

What it costs, and where it is

Moons come with every plan. Free includes Wibble and 1 more moon, Lite 3 more moons, and Spark 10 more moons. Everything your moons do, computer time included, uses your weekly usage: the same one as chat, Research and pictures, shown in Usage as a percentage with when it resets. Moons count toward the week only, never your 5-hour session.

By default moons may use up to 70% of your week, and you can change that in Moons → Usage. When their share or the week is used up, they rest: the step in progress finishes, tasks wait in line, schedules skip a turn, and they pick up after the reset. You can still answer anything they've asked you. A long run stops to ask "Keep going?" once it has used a share of your week, and you can set how much. Pricing has each plan's details.

Moons is on the web today, at saanora.com/moons, in any modern browser on a computer or a phone. It isn't in the desktop and mobile apps yet.
