Clara Labs is establishing a new class of virtual assistant that understands you like a person but operates at the scale, speed, and persistence of a machine. We call Clara a human-in-the-loop assistant. To do this, we mix intelligent automation software with remote humans to form an efficient, distributed remote-knowledge-work service. Our initial focus is on scheduling meetings via email. We bel
ieve that by reducing anxieties caused by cluttered inboxes, complex calendars, and juggling preferences, our customers can have more time to focus on what matters. We aim to make automated assistants an everyday productivity tool. Our approach differs from traditional machine assistants (think: Siri) in our deep focus on conversation quality and human-like product flexibility. We build technology to maximize user experience without constraining ourselves to the latest technology bandwagon. As a result, we’ve been delivering a highly reliable and flexible natural language interface from day one.
