Introducing Clara

After over a year of building, we’re excited to publicly introduce Clara. Clara is your partner is doing great work: an employee that saves you time by scheduling your meetings. Just CC Clara via email to schedule for you (clara@yourdomain.com), and let go of hours of back and forth.

Clara has been in beta working with teams at Airbnb, Stripe, Houzz, Hipmunk, Heroku, and other great companies. We care deeply about making Clara the best possible team member; Clara is a person that is always awake, responds to messages in under an hour, and is highly reliable.

Repetitive and tedious work saps billions of human hours — millions of human lifetimes. We believe the time lost to inboxes, spreadsheets, and information-shuffling is a design flaw in man’s reliance on information technology.

Cue Clara. Clara is the first truly human interface: an employee you can depend on. Powered by machine intelligence and trained by experienced humans 24/7, Clara is highly responsive, empathetic, and learning more everyday.

In our endeavor to improve people’s work lives, Clara establishes a new kind of partnership. Clara is an Executive Assistant, Sales Development Representative, and Recruiting Coordinator; a proud “Employee of the Month” recipient and constant relief in the lives of many. Today we support hundreds of teams, and save them the tens of thousands of hours they would’ve otherwise spent scheduling meetings.

Clara’s intelligence exists largely in knowing what it doesn’t know: understanding when to move forward automatically, and when to lean back on human understanding. Ours is a complex system with a simple result: software that leverages human intuition and machine intelligence to produce a truly human interface. We’re excited to invite you to get started.

Add Clara to your team and get back the hours a week you’re losing to scheduling meetings. Feel free to email us directly with questions or feedback at maran@claralabs.com.
