What Clearly AI does

Clearly AI automates security and privacy reviews with AI. We performed hundreds of reviews at Amazon and Moveworks and now we're building the product we wish we had. Our users complete reviews in minutes instead of days. Emily and Joe are technical co-founders and senior engineers. We met in 2019 while working on an Alexa security review.

Automate security and privacy reviews

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make an AI-powered tool that automates security and privacy reviews. Our users finish what used to take days in minutes by having the AI analyze and surface risks and compliance issues automatically. It's built for security teams who currently do manual, slow processes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and are based in Seattle, WA and would keep operating here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Seattle is where we both live and where we have built our initial customers and team. Staying here means we can keep moving fast without relocating our lives or the team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Clearly AI YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Clearly AI's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Clearly AI would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
