What Sanaf is and how it works

Last updated on Sep 23, 2026

Sanaf is an AI employee you hire into your business, and this article explains what it does and where you manage it.

One employee, with a job

Each workspace has one AI employee, named Sanaf unless you give it another name when you hire it. When you hire it you pick its first job, such as handling an inbox or following up on leads. The job gives Sanaf a job description, the apps that job needs and sensible approval defaults. You can change the job later.

Where you talk to it

Sanaf works where your team already talks:

  • Slack: add it to your workspace, then message it directly or mention it in a channel.
  • Microsoft Teams: install the Sanaf app, then chat with it or mention it in a channel.
  • The console chat: the Chat screen in the console, if you want to talk to it in the browser.
  • Email: every workspace gets an inbox address. You choose who is allowed to write to it.

What it can use

On its own, Sanaf can only talk. To do real work it needs your apps. You connect an app once for the whole business on the Integrations screen, and then choose which apps Sanaf may use.

It asks you first

Before it sends, books, buys or deletes anything, Sanaf stops and asks. The question arrives as a card where it is working, in Slack, in Teams or in the console chat. Nothing leaves your business until somebody says yes.

What the console is for

The console at employees.sanafai.com is where you set Sanaf up and check on it. Most day to day work happens in Slack or Teams. The left rail holds:

  • Chat, Teach Sanaf, Routines and Work log for talking to it, teaching it, scheduling repeat work and reading what it did.
  • Integrations, Skills and Marketplace for what it can do.
  • Files, Pages and Spaces for what it made.
  • Settings, including Billing and Usage.

How it is priced

Sanaf runs on credits, so you pay for the work it does, not a seat. A new workspace starts with $120 of credits, with no card needed, and they do not expire.
