CareLoop AI: A Side Project For Therapists That Replaced My Salary

Before CareLoop AI, I worked as a PM at a mental-health startup, watching therapists drown in admin: notes, summaries, follow-ups. They didn’t want a heavy practice manager—they wanted their evenings back. I built a tiny Chrome extension that listened to telehealth calls and drafted HIPAA-friendly summaries. Three therapist friends became my early testers. Their feedback was crystal clear: “Just make paperwork disappear.” So I cut every feature except session notes and homework suggestions. I launched at $39/mo per clinician. The first 50 paying users came from a tweet thread and a webinar. Within 90 days, CareLoop hit $2.1k MRR. My goal is to become the silent background co-pilot for small private practices.
