Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Sonet.io (Sonet) offers a browser-delivered governed workspace intended to serve two categories of "workers" under one security architecture: human employees, contractors and remote staff, and Vision AI agents. For human users, the platform delivers access to legacy Windows tools, on-premises systems, SaaS platforms and GPU-intensive applications through the browser, with zero-trust controls, DLP guardrails, clipboard restrictions, watermarking and session recording, positioned as an alternative to VDI, shipping secured devices or installing endpoint agents. For agents, Sonet provides an environment where Vision Agents operate applications visually, through the screen, by clicking, typing and navigating, so they can reach systems that expose no modern API.

The platform is described around six capabilities: an automation engine that builds workflows from plain-English recordings using screen-level visual reasoning; governance controls built into the workspace layer; browser-based application delivery across device types; a single control plane for provisioning users, agents, policies and sessions and reviewing recordings; global infrastructure for low-latency delivery to distributed teams; and a single session combining voice, video and application access without plugins or separate installs. Sonet emphasizes policy parity, applying SSO, least-privilege RBAC, zero-trust policies, DLP and session recording to human and AI workers alike, and evidence-grade auditability with exportable logs for compliance and forensic review.

Sonet's first vertical deployment of Vision Agents is PAT, the Pharmacy AI Technician, aimed at pharmacy operations. PAT automates repetitive, keyboard-heavy workflows such as e-script entry and refill processing across pharmacy systems that lack a shared API, operating through the interfaces staff already use and requiring no changes to existing pharmacy management systems. The company states the pharmacist remains in the loop on clinical decisions and that every action is logged, auditable and attributable, with HIPAA-grade governance for regulated environments.

Business model

Sonet sells a cloud-delivered platform to enterprises, combining secure application delivery for human workforces with a governed execution environment for Vision AI agents, managed from a single admin console. The website offers a free trial and direct sales contact, and company blog content discusses per-month pricing arithmetic for pharmacy automation covering refills, e-Rx intake and cycle fills.

Traction

Public company materials cite endorsements from executives at Ping Identity, Tenable, Lexmark and Burns and McDonnell, and describe PAT as a Vision Agent in production for pharmacy environments. The company states a typical timeline of five days from setup to a first workflow in production.

Latest developments

Recent company publishing focuses on pharmacy automation: the introduction of PAT, posts on overnight processing of e-script batches, configurable refill queues, the architecture distinction between bots and AI agents, staff trust in AI rollouts, and disclosed monthly pricing arithmetic for refills, e-Rx intake and cycle fills. Earlier 2025 posts addressed cost models for agentic automation versus VDI, bot VMs and RPA, automating Windows applications without APIs, policy parity for agents, and a security-first delivery plan for legacy Dynamics AX, GP and NAV.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography

Market position

Sonet competes in secure application delivery and zero-trust access, presenting its browser workspace as an alternative to VDI, VPNs and managed-device approaches, while extending into agentic automation as an alternative to RPA and API-dependent agent platforms. Testimonial quotes from security and IT executives describe it as a zero-trust network access approach that removes device shipping and endpoint agent requirements.

Sonet positions itself as a workspace where human users and Vision Agents operate under the same security controls across every application, contrasting this with agentic platforms that require APIs and security tools where governance is added on top of an existing stack. It also contrasts its approach with VDI, bot virtual machines, RPA licensing and device-shipping models, and with pharmacy AI tools that stop at the boundary of the pharmacy management system and therefore cannot handle prior authorizations, claim rework or payer portal navigation.

Technology

The core is a browser-based workspace that renders and delivers applications without local installs, VDI or shipped hardware, layered with zero-trust access controls, DLP, clipboard restrictions, watermarking, session recording and exportable audit logs. Vision Agents use screen-level visual reasoning to operate application interfaces the way a human would, with workflows built from plain-English recordings rather than API integrations or scripted RPA. Voice, video and application access run inside the same governed session.

Go-to-market

The company markets through its website with demo requests, a free trial, gated content such as a secure remote development whitepaper and briefs, and a blog covering IT cost models, legacy application delivery and pharmacy automation. It cites named executives at Ping Identity, Tenable, Lexmark and Burns and McDonnell in customer and industry testimonials, and has promoted an event presence at Community Summit 2025 with a discount code.

Enterprise IT and security teams needing governed access to applications for employees, contractors and remote or third-party workforces, including organizations running legacy Windows and on-premises systems, contact centers using voice and video applications, users of GPU-intensive applications, and companies maintaining legacy Microsoft Dynamics AX, GP and NAV environments. In healthcare, the PAT product targets pharmacy operators, including independent pharmacies.

Geography

Sonet describes global infrastructure for low-latency application access to distributed teams and remote operations, without customer-managed hardware.
