Ex-OpenAI product manager who helped launch ChatGPT just raised $9.3M seed for Worktrace AI.

Angela Jiang (GPT-3.5/GPT-4 launch team) + Deepak Vasisht (MIT PhD) are automating business workflows by watching employees work.

• $9.3M from Conviction, 8VC, OpenAI Fund
• 5 design partners already using the agent
• 4 full-time + 3 part-time team
• Spots workflow patterns within 1 week
• 95% of enterprise AI tools fail to scale (MIT study)

How they built it:
• Met at South Park Commons hatchery
• 8 months from founding to launch
• Agent watches desktop work passively
• Ranks automation opportunities by impact
• Provides code-ready files for agent builders

Takeaway: Don't just build AI tools. Build AI that learns your users' actual workflows.
