Product basics
SonaMinds is a web application for turning expert-owned documents, courses, FAQs, templates, transcripts, and methods into controlled AI Assistants with grounded answers, citations, client access, quotas, and usage records.
It is for experts, creators, consultants, educators, coaches, authors, and knowledge-based businesses that want a safer first layer of access to their own knowledge.
No. SonaMinds is designed for specific expert knowledge, methods, explanations, and service boundaries. It is not meant to answer every topic from broad model knowledge.
SonaMinds uses retrieval and chat interaction, but its product focus is controlled expert knowledge service: turning expert-owned materials, methods, and access boundaries into client-facing AI Assistants.
No. It gives expert knowledge a scalable first access layer. Human judgment remains necessary for high-value, sensitive, or final professional decisions.
Knowledge setup
Start with curated, high-signal materials: course notes, articles, FAQs, onboarding guides, templates, policies, transcripts, and method explanations. A smaller set of clear sources usually beats a large unreviewed dump.
A tutor can start with focused teaching notes, rubrics, feedback templates, student instructions, sample answers, and common student questions, then use SonaMinds to turn those materials into a controlled assistant for students.
Yes. SonaMinds is designed so consultants can build Assistants from their own methods, frameworks, client materials, FAQs, and service boundaries instead of relying only on general model knowledge.
SonaMinds narrows answers through selected sources, Assistant boundaries, citations where useful, access settings, and escalation rules for unsupported or sensitive questions.

Yes. Separate Assistants are useful when different audiences, topics, tone, access rules, or knowledge boundaries should not be mixed.
SonaMinds can show source references where useful so users can inspect the basis of an answer before relying on it. Citations work best when source documents are clearly structured and named.
Review the source material first. If the Assistant cannot find a clear explanation, add or improve the relevant source, then test the same question again.
Client access
No. Experts can share controlled Assistant access without requiring clients, students, members, or visitors to register a SonaMinds account.
Yes. SonaMinds supports access passes, answer limits, expiry, seats, and usage records so service quality, cost, and client access remain predictable.
SonaMinds is designed for client-facing links and website entry points while keeping the expert workspace private. The exact sharing method depends on the Assistant and access settings.
No. SonaMinds does not directly charge your clients or require them to become SonaMinds customers. You keep your customer relationship and billing model.
Pricing and usage
Current subscription options, prices, quotas, and checkout are managed in the SonaMinds web app. The public website explains plan structure and intended use cases.
An AI answer is one response generated by a SonaMinds Assistant. If a client asks three questions and receives three responses, that uses three AI answers.
Limits keep service quality, access, and cost predictable. SonaMinds pricing is about high-quality intelligent knowledge service, not raw storage or unlimited question volume.
Trust boundaries
No. SonaMinds reduces risk through source grounding, citations, access boundaries, and escalation rules, but AI answers still require human review in legal, medical, financial, safety, and other high-impact contexts.
Not by default. Unless you have the necessary authority and an appropriate written agreement with SonaMinds, do not upload sensitive customer data, regulated records, or materials that require strict handling.
Deleted knowledge should stop participating in retrieval. Source files, indexed chunks, plan usage, and audit records should be treated as part of a managed lifecycle.
Start with one focused Assistant, a clear audience, and the strongest source materials you already own.
