Four principles that guide everything we build
Your Story Is Your Competitive Advantage
Technology won't make you stand out. Your truth will. Alignment with your authentic voice is the only sustainable differentiator in an AI-saturated world.
Think First, Content Second
Most AI tools start with "generate content." We flip that. Sharpen your ideas through conversation first, then let AI help you express them at scale.
AI is a Sparring Partner
AI can never substitute human empathy, judgment, or lived experience. It's an amplifier for your thinking, not a replacement for it.
Ship Early, Iterate Often
Perfectionism is a disease. The founders who win are the ones who share openly, learn from real feedback, and refine as they go.
This is personal
I created Meet Sona because I was the Chief Growth Officer of my agency, tasked with building out our content strategy, and exhausted by the process of trying to teach ChatGPT how to sound like me and starting from a blank page every single time.
Everything that I put out into the world is important to me. Anything with my name on it needs to be something I'm proud of.
So outsourcing my content to someone else or using mindless "scale your content 10x with AI" tools were out the window.
It was quite the conundrum because I've been a writer since I was young and my love of the written word knows no bounds. But growing my marketing agency while trying to write a week's worth of LinkedIn posts, YouTube content, blog posts, and email newsletters was starting to get overwhelming.
There had to be a better way than sitting down with a blank Google Doc staring menacingly at me.
So I did what any conscientious nerd would do: I started building. First using ChatGPT to interview me, then building a customized GPT, then finding content scheduling automations to plug into.
Eventually I had created a KenBot that could act as a thought partner to help set free the thoughts and ideas stuck in my head. Through my transcripts, I could edit and sharpen content that was already in my own words.
It felt like magic. Until the flaws of maintaining a half manual system started catching up with me.
I realized I didn't want to rely on a static "Ken's voice" document or prompts to retrieve information from a project.
I wanted a system that evolved with me. One that knew my best practices, favorite templates, captured my insights automatically, and kept my verbal identity at the center of everything.
It was clear this needed to be more than my own sweat, a ChatGPT subscription, and some duct-taped automations.
So I made a prototype. In two days. One where AI could interview me, give insights and ideas, and automatically use my own words and verbal identity to draft the content.
Meet Sona was born. And the rest is history.
But this was never just about me.
I built this for folks like me. Smart, talented, and proud founders, consultants, and CEOs who don't want to put meaningless content out into the world. They just might not have the self-esteem, clarity, or time to consistently write from scratch.
It's not just a product. My entire life, I've felt called to empower others to do things they never thought possible.
Meet Sona exists to help people reclaim what's unique about them and show up with courage and authenticity.
Spoken words are powerful. By facilitating clarity and helping people communicate their stories, I'm hoping to give more power back to these hardworking folks.
Best part is, I'm on this exact same journey every single day. Cheers.
I hope you'll join us.
