We're builders who happen to run a company
The founding team has been shipping AI applications together for eight years. Clearframe Labs — incorporated in 2024 — is how we do that work for clients at scale.

Company snapshot
Why we exist
“We believe the best software is built by people who actually use it — builders who feel the pain and fix it themselves.”
The founding team started as friends who couldn’t stop tinkering — testing new models the day they dropped, building apps on weekends just to see what was possible. Eight years on, that energy hasn’t changed; in 2024 we incorporated Clearframe Labs to do that work for clients full-time.
Since launching the consultancy we’ve shipped production AI for 15+ clients across healthcare, finance, HR, e-commerce, logistics, real estate, and media — diagnostic imaging that finds findings earlier, fraud systems that catch threats in under 200 ms, and internal tools that turn hours of busywork into a single click.
We’re still small on purpose. Every client works directly with the people writing the code — no account managers, no handoffs, no fluff.
What we stand for
Craft over speed
We'd rather ship one thing that works beautifully than ten things that kind of work. Every detail matters.
Builders first
Everyone on our team ships code, designs systems, or talks to users. No spectators.
Radical transparency
We share what we're building, how we're building it, and where we're stuck. With clients and with each other.
Give time back
Every product we build should free up hours in someone's day. That's the metric that matters.
A team that lives and breathes this stuff
San Francisco and Mexico City — two cities, one engineering culture. We work across time zones and serve clients globally, so there's always someone shipping.
Engineers, designers, and product thinkers who chose a small team on purpose. Everyone here moves the needle.
We demo every Friday, debate ideas openly, and celebrate craft. No corporate theatre — just people who care about the work.

About Clearframe Labs: frequently asked questions
What is Clearframe Labs?
Clearframe Labs is an independent AI development consultancy that designs, builds, and ships production AI systems for mid-market and growth-stage companies. We deliver custom AI applications, machine learning systems, AI agents, computer vision, NLP, and digital transformation engagements across healthcare, finance, HR, e-commerce, legal, real estate, logistics, and media.
When was Clearframe Labs founded and where is it based?
Clearframe Labs was founded in 2024 and operates from two offices — San Francisco, California, and Mexico City, Mexico. The founding team had been building AI applications and shipping production systems together for roughly eight years before incorporating, which is why our hero copy references that longer building heritage. We serve clients globally across both time zones.
How big is the team and how do you work with clients?
We are intentionally small. Every client works directly with the engineers and product designers writing the code — no account managers, no offshore handoffs, no spectators. Engagements typically pair a senior engineer, an ML lead, and a product partner with the client team. This is the same delivery model whether the engagement is a 2-week scoping sprint or a multi-quarter platform build.
How many clients have you worked with?
We have served 15+ clients across healthcare, finance, HR, real estate, logistics, e-commerce, media, and education since 2024. Selected engagements with measured outcomes are published as case studies — fraud detection (99.2% rate), diagnostic imaging (31% accuracy lift), applicant tracking (90% screening reduction), recommendation engines (22% revenue lift), and OOH platform digitization.
What makes Clearframe Labs different from a Big-Four consultancy or a regional integrator?
Three things. (1) Senior people only — the engineers in your kickoff are the engineers writing the code at week 12. (2) First production system in 90 days, not 18 months. (3) You own the code; we do not lock you into proprietary frameworks or multi-year MSAs. The trade-off is scale — we are not the right partner for board-level cover or 50-person delivery teams.
What industries do you have the deepest experience in?
Healthcare (HIPAA-compliant diagnostic and clinical workflow systems), finance (real-time fraud detection, risk, compliance), human resources (applicant tracking, candidate evaluation), e-commerce (recommendations, search, personalization), and media and advertising (OOH platforms, audience analytics). We also work in legal, real estate, logistics, energy, and education — see the industries page for the full list.
How do I start an engagement with Clearframe Labs?
Reach out via the contact page with a short description of what you are trying to ship. We respond within 1 to 2 business days, typically with a 30-minute scoping call. If there is a fit, we propose a fixed-fee scoping sprint (usually 2 weeks) that produces an architecture, an AI feasibility report, and a build estimate. From there you can continue with us, take the deliverables to another partner, or build it yourselves.
