What is Cluely?

Cluely is a desktop AI assistant that runs as an invisible overlay during video calls â listening to microphone audio and reading screen content to deliver real-time suggestions, summaries, and answers only visible to the user. Originally marketed as a tool to 'cheat on everything' (interviews, sales calls, exams), it has repositioned as an AI meeting assistant competing with Otter.ai. Backed by $20M+ including a $15M Series A from a16z, Cluely features GPU-level overlay technology invisible to screen-share detection. A significant 2025 data breach exposed 83,000+ user records. Available for Windows, macOS, and iOS.
