Job Description
### About freeflow
Humans are meant to interface using voice and visuals, so why do we spend so
much of our work week on a keyboard? The keyboard is not the most efficient
way to get work done, but it has been the primary work interface for the last
40 years. Freeflow will change that.
Simply screen record and talk about what is on your screen. When you stop the
recording, freeflow uses your recording and generative AI to build any final
piece of work output you want, in seconds. Freeflow leverages the rich context
of your voice and screen video to generate professional work outputs. Users
can decide their output format (e.g. a slack message, email, notion page,
presentation, ticket, video, audio, etc), and share with the team, enabling
users to communicate and work the way they prefer.
The freeflow founding team are second time founders who successfully exited
their prior startup (insurtech) in Dec 2021. Freeflow has closed a $2.5M
preseed round from the same group of investors. We’re building a fully remote,
small, capable, and high-performance team to become the backbone of freeflow
as we scale. Early hires will join at the ground floor of a generative AI
company that will change the way we work and communicate.
Our culture supports team members to do their best work by giving them the
context and the control to get things done. We provide a framework for
autonomy and ownership with freedom and responsibility to do what’s best for
the company using your judgement and experience.
