Do I need to install anything?+
No. Sonic works inside WhatsApp, the app you already have. Save its number and message it like any contact — there's no separate login or dashboard. A dedicated Sonic app is coming soon.
Is there a Sonic app?+
A dedicated Sonic app is coming soon, and it will share your account with WhatsApp: same memory, connections, subscription and reminders. Until then, Sonic works on WhatsApp — groups included.
What powers Sonic?+
We've wired together a range of advanced AI models and tools — language understanding, web browsing and document analysis — into one super-capable assistant that picks the right tool for every task.
Is my data private?+
Sonic only sees the messages and files you send it, and it asks for confirmation before taking any action on your behalf. You stay in control of what it can touch.
What kinds of reminders can it set?+
One-time ("in 20 minutes", "tomorrow at 9") and recurring ("every Monday", "daily at 8am"), with timezone and daylight-saving handled. It can also post recurring reminders into a WhatsApp group.
Can Sonic join my WhatsApp groups?+
Yes — Sonic works in your favorite groups: just add it to any group you're already in. Mention it and it answers right in the group — catch-up recaps ("what did I miss?"), decisions and action items, translations, polls, shared lists and RSVPs, and splitting expenses (it keeps track of who owes whom). It can also post one-time or recurring group reminders, including a daily or weekly AI recap of the chat. Members get live web search on every paid plan; they can reply to a photo or document and have Sonic read it (it counts toward the subscriber's daily reads: 1 on Basic, 20 on Pro, 50 on Max), and on Pro and Max a voice note too (on Max, a link). On Pro and Max, a member can also link their Notion as a read-only knowledge base (mention Sonic with "/notion on"), so it answers from your team's live docs. One subscription unlocks the group for everyone in it — there's no limit on group size, and every member can mention Sonic without a plan of their own. Your groups get their own daily allowance on top of your personal one, shared across all the groups your plan unlocks: 75 Sonic replies a day on Basic, 150 on Pro and 300 on Max — the plan to pick for big or busy groups. The free trial doesn't include WhatsApp groups.
Can group members message Sonic privately — and does that count against my plan?+
In the group, Sonic only speaks when someone @mentions it or replies to one of its messages — it never reads along or chimes in on its own. Any member can also message Sonic's number privately, and that private chat is entirely their own: it starts on their own free trial and, if they subscribe, runs on their own plan and daily limit. It never draws on your subscription. Your personal daily limit only counts messages in your own private chat with Sonic, and the group's allowance only counts Sonic's replies inside that group — so the two never mix, and nobody is ever charged extra.
How do I get started?+
Get access below by leaving your name, email and WhatsApp number. Sonic messages you on WhatsApp, usually within a minute, and the free trial includes 15 messages within 7 days, with no card needed.
How do I subscribe — and how do I cancel?+
You can subscribe right here on the website: open the Manage subscription page, verify your phone number with a one-time code (or use the sign-in link Sonic gives you in the chat), and pick a plan — payment is handled securely by PayPal. Or, if you prefer, just send /subscribe to Sonic in the chat. Cancelling works the same way: use the Manage subscription page or send /unsubscribe, anytime.
Can I send and receive voice messages?+
Yes — voice messages are part of the Pro and Max plans. Send Sonic a voice note instead of typing and it understands and acts on it just like a text message — in any language you speak. You can also ask Sonic to reply with voice messages, in the tone and style you prefer, so you can listen instead of read, completely hands-free.
Can I use Sonic as an AI assistant on my smartwatch?+
Yes — Sonic works as an AI assistant on any smartwatch, including Apple Watch, Wear OS and Galaxy Watch. Because it runs inside WhatsApp, there is no watch app to install: Sonic's answers and reminders arrive as notifications on your wrist, and you can dictate a question by voice straight from the watch and read the reply there. Same AI assistant on your phone and on your smartwatch.
