About Sona8
Summary
Sona8 builds a voice agent that conducts individual conversations with every employee about how their work actually operates, replacing the selective stakeholder interviews that consulting and transformation teams run manually today. Each worker speaks with the agent for roughly twenty minutes; the agent probes with follow-up questions and the output is process maps and structured problem lists organized by site and team. During rollouts the agent revisits employees to track whether changes landed, giving program leaders a continuously updated picture of operations across the whole organization.

Go-to-market
Consulting firms are the initial buyers, purchasing access for the discovery phase of client engagements; transformation and corporate development teams buy it to oversee change programs from kickoff through execution.

Context layer for enterprise AI surveying employees with voice agents
Sona8 is a voice agent that talks to every employee about how their work gets done. Consulting, transformation and corporate development teams spend a large part of every project on stakeholder interviews and stakeholder alignment, and still only hear from a small share of the people affected. Each employee gets a link and talks to the agent for about 20 minutes. The agent asks follow-up questions, for example why a step is still done by hand or who else is involved. From the conversations we build process maps and a list of the problems people described, by site and team. During the implementation, the agent goes back to the employees involved after each initiative and asks whether it was implemented and what changed. The result is a project management office that has talked to every employee. Today consulting firms buy it for the stakeholder interviews at the start of an engagement. Transformation and corporate development teams buy it to run the implementation of a change program. Over time this becomes the way a company knows how it runs. Sona8 reads the systems the company already uses, connects them to what employees said, and keeps the picture current by asking again. Before a decision, you ask what it would do across sites and teams and get an answer from the whole company. A small team steers a company-wide program that used to need a large one. And AI agents inside the company come here first to learn how the work is done before they change anything.
