The software

What is Sonarae?

Business data software. Sonarae collects records from municipal and state registries, enriches each target from Google Places and AI agent crawlers, and outputs leads for cold calling, automated email drafting and SMS outreach.

Is Sonarae available today?

Not yet. Sonarae is in development, targeting launch for November to December 2026, and the coverage and batch figures on the Home page are launch targets. Registering adds you to the early access list.

Who is Sonarae for?

Anyone who runs outbound sales on local business data: solo operators who sell websites and services, startup teams, and sales teams inside large companies.

Who is building Sonarae?

Sonny Rosas, a 16-year-old developer based in Colorado, working alone. Read more on the Our Team page.

How much will Sonarae cost?

Pricing has not been announced. It is set once the product is complete, and it is announced by email to the early access list. What registering early is worth is answered under Registering.

What does “pulls raw public records at the source” mean?

Sonarae reads official public registries and listings itself instead of buying a reseller's copy of them, so the records you get are as current as the source.

Data and sources

Where does the data come from?

From three places: municipal and state registries, Google Places listings that are scraped automatically, and AI agent crawlers that read each target's web presence. At launch the targets are 30+ major US municipalities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, and 4 full state registries.

What does zero hallucinated leads mean?

A lead reaches your output only when it passes two checks: its legal status and a live web footprint. A target without a live web footprint never reaches your CRM. The checks are deterministic audits, not a model's guess. Figure 5 on the Home page shows the rule on synthetic targets.

What is a batch?

A batch is 25 targets. Sonarae runs 5 batches concurrently, so one run outputs 125 deeply enriched leads.

Are the figures on the Home page measurements?

No. Every figure is a launch target. The sample record and the checked targets are synthetic, and each is labelled that way.

Using it

Which AI models does Sonarae work with?

Anthropic, Gemini and OpenAI models. You switch between them inside the same pipeline; Figure 7 on the Home page traces the path.

What can I do with the leads?

Send them through direct integrations for cold calling, automated email drafting and SMS outreach, or take flat files direct to your warehouse.

Registering

How do I get early access?

Use the Register page. Registering joins the early access list. It does not grant access, which opens on release.

What do I get for registering early?

Three things, once Sonarae fully launches: a discount across every paid tier, a more generous free tier than the one offered after launch, and priority access to the platform ahead of new sign-ups. None of this is available today; it takes effect at launch, for anyone on the early access list at that point.

Does registering guarantee anything?

No. Sonarae has not launched. The website and the early access list are provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and registering reserves no price, feature or release date. Clause 3.7 of the Privacy & Terms sets out the no-warranty and limitation of liability terms in full.

Is my registration logged right away?

Yes. Waitlist entries are logged in real time: the Register page shows its confirmation only after your entry has been stored, so if you see "Your dossier has been submitted.", you are on the list. Register twice with the same address and the first entry is kept; you see the same confirmation.

Why haven't I received a confirmation email?

Automated confirmation emails are paused while Sonarae is in development. Your registration is still logged, and your spot will be verified when confirmation emails are enabled.

Which email addresses can I register with?

Any standard address you can read: .com, .net, .org and .edu, country domains such as .co.uk, newer domains such as .io, and international domains written in their own script. Addresses at known disposable email services are refused, and each address can be registered once.

What is stored when I register?

Your full name and work email, plus your IP address, your browser's user agent and the time you registered. Name and email are used only to communicate with you about the early access list. The IP address and user agent are used only to prevent abuse. Your entry is kept until you ask for deletion or Sonarae fully launches. See clause 2.5 of the Privacy Policy.

Can I change or delete my registration?

Yes. Email privacy@sonarae.net from the address you registered with and your entry is removed (clause 2.13). To change an entry, ask for it to be removed and register again.

Why are both boxes required?

The form needs your acceptance of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and your consent to email updates, before it can add you to the list. The exact wording is on the Register page.

The website

Does the website use cookies?

One, sonarae-skip-intro. It is set when you watch the Welcome film to its end or press Skip Cinematic. On your next visit it shows a Skip Cinematic button and keeps the cookie notice from showing again; the film still plays. The website also keeps three settings in local memory (clause 2.2). No advertising, analytics or tracking cookie is ever set.

Why did the cookie notice stop appearing?

Because it has been answered. Accepting it is remembered in your browser's local memory, and having watched or skipped the Welcome film counts too, so the notice shows once, not on every visit. Clearing this site's data in your browser brings it back.

Does my dark mode choice carry across pages?

Yes. The theme you pick with the sun and moon button is saved in local memory and applied on every page, the Welcome page included, before the page first appears. The Welcome film's painted scenes stay as painted; the page around them follows your theme.

Does it track me?

No. It has no analytics, advertising or profiling. The one cookie above remembers a single fact, not your activity. The only other services involved are a web font service and a public code delivery network, which receive ordinary request details (clause 2.4).

Why does the Welcome page play sound?

The ambient sound is generated in your browser. It stays off until you accept the notice or press the Sound button, it never uses your microphone, and you can mute it at any time.

What if I have reduced motion turned on?

The Welcome page shows its static version instead: a flat print of the film's opening, held still, the film's words written out act by act, and the same two links, to the Register page and to the Home page. If you want to watch it anyway, its Play the film anyway link plays the film for that visit. The film has fast movement and a screen shake.

Why does the Welcome page show a still page instead of the film?

One of three things is true, and the page says which. JavaScript is turned off in the browser. The device is set to reduce motion: on Windows this is the Animation effects setting, which some work and school computers turn off. Or the network or device stopped the film's files from loading, which some school and workplace networks do. Everything else on the site works either way, and the page offers the next step for each case; for a blocked network, Try again tries loading the film again.

Does the website work without JavaScript?

Yes. Home, Our Team, FAQ, Privacy & Terms and Register all work without it. The Register form works the same way and the page reloads with the result. Only the Welcome page's film needs JavaScript; without it, the Welcome page shows a moving print of the film's opening and its words instead.
