ClearWork App

Ben Gendler, Simon Kotlerman, Ayush Gupta, Chirag Jain, Arunesh Singh, and Harsh Raj looked at the agency world—design studios, creative shops, dev agencies—and realized everyone was drowning in chaos. Clients in one channel, PMs in another, designers in a third. Email threads, WhatsApp messages, Slack DMs, actual phone calls. Nothing written down. Nothing enforced. Everyone remembered different things and clients felt completely out of the loop. Sound familiar?

So they built ClearWork, an AI-powered project management platform that actually listens. The ClearWork Bot joins your meetings, picks up on client expectations and team commitments, and automatically converts them into actionable tickets with owners and ETAs. It flags scope creep before it kills your timeline. It catches mismatched expectations before they become screaming matches. Basically it does all the boring coordination that humans are terrible at, so humans can actually do the work.

Here's the thing—agencies don't need another tool. They need clarity. Jira is enterprise overkill that requires a PhD to configure. Notion is beautiful but manual as hell with zero enforcement. ClearWork said "we're going to be the AI participant that actually keeps everyone aligned" and that's the kind of thinking that's going to eat the entire project management space. Six founders building for agencies. That's a team that understands the pain.
