@akilian @claralabs who is your target customer that's willing to pay $99/mo+?
..@shakurgreen
I would be more inclined to pay 99 bucks a year for unlimited meetings rather than 99 bucks a month for 20 meetings.
Christina @christinahahaha · platejoy, ceo
@tombielecki @akilian @claralabs Probably anyone who can't afford paying thousands of dollars/month for a personal assistant.

Oustanding product. Switched to Clara after my experience with x.ai which caused some of my contacts to get mad for calls scheduled at 2 am and other mishaps. Probably due to the human/AI hybrid (vs full AI of x.ai), Clara never seems to fail, always responsive and handles people's schedules like I could never do!

@christinahahaha @tombielecki @akilian @claralabs this is not really the point since by paying thousands of dollars for a personal assistant you'll get more than just meetings. I don't think Clara will be able to make you a coffee or open the door when some customers are arriving. I will definitely pay $99 a year for a just-meetings assistant.

@tombielecki @akilian @claralabs Hey Tom! Thanks for taking the time to ask. Today we primarily support founders and team members at SMBs. They spend hours a week scheduling meetings, as you likely do. Their alternatives to Clara are either A. doing this work themselves or B. finding and training a person to do it for them. Both of these solutions cause … See more

@akilian @claralabs Can you please explain *how* Clara is more accurate than a human? More accurate at what? And how are you defining accuracy? The closest I could find skimming through the article you linked was the following: "Because Clara combines software with human intelligence, Clara performs with a significantly lower error rate and higher speed/ava… See more
maran nelson@marannelson · CEO, Clara Labs
@kdumovic @akilian @claralabs Google defines accuracy as "the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard." More colloquially you could say "Clara just works - we do what we say we'll do". Saying we make fewer mistakes than a human is true! That said, we're trying to capture someth… See more

@shakurgreen Thats my opinion. It's a bit expensive.
..@shakurgreen
@csaba_kissi It has potential to be something very useful. I just hope they're able to be find a better pricing model than what they have now. @marannelson I think the best option is to charge $99 for a yearly subscription for unlimited meetings or go the enterprise route. I do have a couple more suggestions on pricing, but I don't want to overstep.
Ray Gillenwater@raygwater
@christinahahaha my CA based part-time PA is around $15/hr - she would have to spend ca. 7 hours on meeting coordination per month for this to be ROI positive for me. Really cool concept but too pricey IMO (assuming I'm the target market). If this were during my corporate days prior to having a PA perhaps I'd expense it. Interesting nonetheless and wishing t… See more
Christina Bognet@cbognet · Founder, PlateJoy
@raygwater @christinahahaha That's only 20 min/week-day. I definitely spend that long coordinating meetings every day, not to mention switching costs, etc.
Martin Saint-Macary@saintmac · co-founder @vytein
@marannelson @tombielecki @akilian @claralabs To be fair, a third alternative is to use a scheduling app like Vyte (disclaimer I'm a founder) or Calendly. 90% of the time saved for 0-10% of the price. But I believe we have different price points for different customers. :-)
jonathan@pomajp · founder/ceo, rocketcode.io
@rohillion @christinahahaha @tombielecki @akilian @claralabs i pay for the $199/mo package and it's SO UNBELIEVABLY WORTH IT. My advice: take the two-week trial, start cc'ing Clara on everything, and watch how magical she/it (they?) is. She sets meetings, fixes scheduling conflicts, sends follow ups on my behalf. It literally saves me HOURS a week, serve… See more
