🌍 Founder Spotlight: The AI Co-Pilot Fixing Remote Work

📍 San Francisco, CA

When Sofia Lin left her role at Zoom in 2023, she had one mission: fix remote work.

After leading ops and growth during the pandemic, she saw the cracks—too many meetings, never-ending Slack threads, and constant Zoom fatigue. Her new startup, Clearframe, is building an AI workspace co-pilot that changes all of that.

Clearframe automatically:

  • Summarizes meetings

  • Extracts context from Slack

  • Generates real-time action items

Powered by GPT-4, Whisper, and a custom agentic task engine, the company has hit $30K/month in revenue with just 6 people. They recently raised $2.2M in pre-seed funding led by Haystack.

Sofia’s vision: productivity isn’t about more tools—it’s about less friction.

"The best AI doesn’t add noise. It clears it."

💡 Sofia’s Takeaways:

  • Keep users in flow, not feature-hopping

  • Every remote team will need an AI chief of staff

  • Context is a superpower—tools should listen before they act

💰 AI Startup Idea: Real-Time QA Assistant for Dev Teams

Build a tool devs will love. A Chrome extension that connects to GitHub and VS Code to flag software quality issues in real time.

🔧 Features:

  • Suggests AI-generated fixes to improve test coverage

💵 Business Model:

  • $19/month per developer

  • $99/month per dev team

  • $799/month enterprise plan with audit logs + security compliance

📈 Bonus: Add integrations with Linear, Jira, and Slack for full cycle dev visibility.
