“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

Changing the way the world works

Clone was founded on the belief that the future of work is not about replacing people, but about strengthening organizations and the individuals within them. We build clones, role-based agentic teammates that take on real responsibilities and work alongside employees every day. Powered by AI, clones work continuously, operate at up to 50x the speed, and support progress around the clock. They connect directly to the systems your business runs while retaining context and memory over time, so they get sharper and faster with every interaction.

With SkillForge, new capabilities can be designed and deployed in hours, enabling every team to build the exact clone capabilities you need. When your human team and your clones work as one, the result is a Superforce that moves faster, operates with greater clarity, and reaches a new level of performance, while preserving the human side of work.
