Angela Jiang, an early OpenAI product manager, has launched a new AI startup, Worktrace AI, backed by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati.
Worktrace AI is also funded by OpenAI's startup fund, along with venture capital firms 8VC and Conviction, among others, the job listing said.
Murati's Thinking Machines Lab closed a mega $2 billion seed funding round this year, Business Insider previously reported, and it's now valued at $12 billion.
