Meet the team

The people behind Clone.

Clone deploys intelligent clones that communicate, reason and take action inside your business. Built by operators, engineers and builders who have scaled category-defining companies and are doing it again.

Vision

Owned intelligence.

We built Clone on a simple conviction: intelligence you rent isn't intelligence you own. The platform runs on your instructions, your knowledge, your workflows, your standards and your voice, captured once and put to work across every system you use.

Clones don't reset when a chat closes. They remember, their knowledge compounds, and they get better every day. With every project, decision and conversation, your clones grow sharper and make your company harder to replicate.

01

Owned intelligence

Your knowledge, workflows and standards working as one system that never walks out the door.

02

Pair Memory

Every decision, preference and correction carries forward. Clones learn how you think, write and win.

03

Governance & guardrails

Every action is permissioned, auditable and grounded in your approved sources.

“I’m genuinely excited to work with Chad, Scott, Steve, and the entire Clone.Me team to realize their vision. The time for real (and lasting) transformational change is upon us. Those organizations, both large and small, who grab this opportunity will separate themselves in both the marketplace and workplace.”

Our mission

Stronger organizations. Stronger people.

Clone was founded on the belief that the future of work is not about replacing people, but about strengthening organizations and the individuals in them. We build clones: role-based teammates that take on real responsibilities and work alongside employees every day. They work around the clock, connect directly to the systems your business runs on, and keep context and memory over time, so they get sharper with every interaction.

With SkillForge, new capabilities can be designed and deployed in hours. When your human team and your clones work as one, the result is a Superforce that moves faster, operates with more clarity and reaches a new level of performance, while keeping the human side of work.

Human-centered. Clone-powered.
