About Sonder

Sonder is an applied AI lab building your digital twin. We're post-training vision models that live on your machine and watches your screen to learn from your patterns, preferences and workflows. We’ve made three core technical breakthroughs: tiny vision models fast and efficient enough to run continuously on a laptop, a real-time perception stack for understanding desktop activity, and a simulation engine that generates millions of diverse, recorded desktop workflows for training - creating a class of data traditional data labs couldn't provide. The immediate product helps individuals turn their work and sensibilities into reusable skills and knowledge with *zero* friction. Over time, those skills become shared team knowledge. At company scale, Sonder becomes a shared intelligence layer for the organization: first it learns you, then your team, then the company becomes a learning machine.
