Building on my last post about AI breaking security categories, I’m reviewing the major players in AI-Enabled ProdSec. Why I’m betting on @ItsClearlyAI and @devarmorHQ for the future of integrated engineering.

Prepping for @OneRSAC Innovation Sandbox tomorrow! Be there or be◼️

[Joe Choi-Greene @JoeChoiGreene]

We’ve raised an $8.4M seed round and were named finalists in the RSAC Innovation Sandbox Contest!

Our team has been heads-down building a new security product category, so it feels great to have the recognition of @OneRSAC.

The RSAC Innovation Sandbox Contest is a huge industry stage for new approaches to hard security problems.

It's been exciting to see how Clearly AI (@ItsClearlyAI) resonates with so many security leaders, customers, and now RSAC. The industry is ready for a more complete and practical way to secure products.

We're thankful for our investors at @BasisSet, @ycombinator, @CrosspointCP, @RitualVC, @ArgonVc, our angels, and our early customers for believing in us.

See you at RSAC!

So excited to share that Clearly AI was selected as a finalist in the 2025 @okta Startup Challenge! We’ll be on stage next week at #Oktane25 to highlight how Clearly AI helps enterprises move faster by automating security and privacy reviews. Check out our teaser video below!!

The best way to preserve data privacy is data minimization. We have had a Zero Day Retention (ZDR) agreement with @OpenAI since the beginning of @ItsClearlyAI , and this is why: https://t.co/OFCLC4i29W

- @jobergum keeping it real through all the vector search (and now GraphRAG) hype
- @bertie_ai making the hottest new programming language (English)
- and last but certainly not least all my fellow Seattle founders and friends at Foundations! @PatOakEllis @tbrownio

[Joe Choi-Greene @JoeChoiGreene]

- Michael and @danielhanchen, finetuning faster and our TAs for LLM maths!
- @bnicholehopkins leading evals for voice (and 2nd biggest angel investor after @saranormous ??)
- @theo defense lawyer for snitching LLMs
- @dexhorthy keeping humans in the loop and 12 factor agents

all part of the @ycombinator family!

In 2023, I searched Spotify for "llamaindex" on a whim, expecting no results. That's when I discovered @latentspacepod.

Since then, I ended my 9 year career at Amazon, got back into AI, founded a YC startup, and had more fun and learned more in <2 years than the rest of my career combined.

After two years, I finally got to attend AI Engineer World's Fair and meet many of the names that inspired me.

TBH I was nervous going in. Am I too late? Has the GenAI hype machine taken over? What if people find out i haven't memorized the entire MCP spec?!

But I found a community with a welcoming, curious spirit, even after so much growth. Every circle had an open "pacman" slot to join. Every person, no matter how new or OG, was humble, curious, and as awesome as I had hoped them to be.

Hats off to @swyx, @Benghamine, and everyone who made this possible. @aiDotEngineer Best Conference 2025!

Pictured (and what they mean to me):
- @swyx - the man who engineered AI engineering culture!
- @jxnlco - revolutionized structured outputs with instructor
- @samuelcolvin - brought sanity to python with pydantic
- @eugeneyan - author of a Year of Building with LLMs (along with other greats)

More epic people in thread!

🚀 @ItsClearlyAI launched! Your AI Trust Team

"Automate your data security & privacy workflows: from security reviews to privacy impact assessments"

🌐 https://t.co/Dh4gMaiofv

🚨 Triage: Review all designs and code for security best practices and regulatory compliance.

🧠 Shift Left: Bring the collective knowledge of legal, privacy, compliance, and security teams directly to developers from the inception of their work.

🔄 Continuous Monitoring: Real-time, automated checks instead of point-in-time reviews.

Reach out to them if ⤵

▶ Your security/privacy teams are understaffed and overwhelmed.

▶ Security/privacy is critical to your customers (beyond SOC2 certification).

▶ You operate across regions with varying privacy regulations, and you need to evaluate and comply.
