Company
Clara Labs
Human-in-the-loop assistant automating tasks
We built Clara, a human-in-the-loop assistant that automates repetitive tasks like scheduling, follow-ups, and basic communication management for busy professionals. Clara blends software automation with real human support to handle situations AI alone struggles with.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will be based here after YC as well.
San Francisco is where the team lives and where we can access talent and customers in B2B productivity effectively.
