## About Cluely

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Cluely is a desktop application that provides real-time AI assistance during virtual meetings, generating notes, answers, and next steps without joining as a bot or appearing on shared screens.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2025 (April 20, 2025)
- **Founders**: Chungin “Roy” Lee, Neel Shanmugam, Alex Chen

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Artificial intelligence / AI meeting assistant software
- **Target customers**: B2B professionals and individual users who attend frequent virtual meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.)
- **Mission statement**: Not explicitly listed, but the product positions itself as “the #1 undetectable AI for meetings” and aims to help users “be the most prepared person on every call.”

## Products & Services
- **Cluely Desktop App**: A real-time AI meeting assistant that listens to meeting audio, transcribes with 95% accuracy, and provides instant answers, notes, and action items. It uses an overlay that is invisible to screen sharing and never joins the meeting as a participant. Supports 12+ languages. Available via subscription (e.g., $20/month per seat).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$20.3M** (Seed $5.3M + Series A $15M). Claimed annual recurring revenue of **$5.2M** (per founder screenshots, though an earlier $7M claim was later admitted as false).
- **Notable Investors**: Andreessen Horowitz (led Series A), Abstract Ventures (co-led Seed), Susa Ventures (co-led Seed).
- **Growth Signals**: 70,000 user signups in the first week after launch; headcount grew to ~24 employees (LinkedIn) with 1,700% YoY growth; operations in 7 countries; monthly website traffic of ~752,000 visits.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Undetectability**: The app never appears in shared screens, recordings, or meeting participant lists, making it discreet for user-facing use.
- **Speed**: Real-time transcription with a claimed response time of ~300ms, faster than many competitors.
- **Compatibility**: Works with all major meeting platforms (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, Slack) without requiring integration.
- **Privacy**: Does not join meetings as a bot; user’s own audio is processed locally or via cloud.

## Strategic Focus
- Pivoted from an initial controversial “cheat on everything” marketing campaign toward positioning as a legitimate AI meeting assistant competing with tools like Otter.ai.
- Focus on enterprise adoption and reliability, with improvements to product accuracy and latency since launch.

## Why Work Here
- Fast-growing startup (24 employees, 1,700% YoY headcount growth) with significant venture backing (a16z, etc.).
- Engineering-heavy culture with a tech stack including TypeScript, React, Swift, Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenAI.
- Controversial but high-profile founding story (founders suspended from Columbia over Interview Coder tool) gives the company a “rebellious” brand.
- Roles span marketing, engineering, design, and customer experience; key executives include a CEO/Co-Founder (Roy Lee), COO (Neel Shanmugam), and CTO (Alex Chen).
- Headquarters in New York City; office presence likely (previously San Francisco but moved to NYC).
