What we're doing<p>Clara Labs is building the first artificially intelligent employee. For the past nine months, we've built a system that supplements machine intelligence with human contextual awareness to support our first task: scheduling meetings. Clara already handles complex email-based coordination and scheduling for executives, recruiters, and sales teams at companies like Stripe, ZenPayroll, Heroku, Mattermark, and AngelList.<p>How we're doing it<p>Our software distributes the most complex natural language processing questions to human contractors, while automating the parts of the work a machine can grapple with on its own. This human-machine combination works well, but also presents some interesting challenges:<p>1. Reliability: How do you architect a distributed human-machine system whose reliability must be <i>very</i> high?<p>2. Interaction: The foundational relationship between humans and AI is yet to be designed; how do you establish a virtual relationship that feels intimate and natural?<p>3. Operations: How do you build the infrastructure to manage a distributed workforce of thousands?<p>Who we are<p>We're a small team working from the Mission in San Francisco. We like productive debate, reading (especially about intelligence), and care deeply about creating truly great products.<p>What we're looking for<p>We care about authenticity, thoughtfulness, and work ethic. We're looking for early team members to help us build the core of the company - engineering, operations, design, sales, and support.<p>Interested in learning more?
