Jobs at Cluely

We want to cheat on everything.

Yep, you heard that right.

Sales calls. Meetings. Negotiations. If there's a faster way to win — we'll take it.

We built Cluely so you never have to think alone again. It sees your screen. Hears your audio. Feeds you answers in real time. While others guess — you're already right.

And yes, the world will call it cheating.

But so was the calculator. So was spellcheck. So was Google.

Every time technology makes us smarter, the world panics. Then it adapts. Then it forgets. And suddenly, it's normal.

But this is different.

AI isn't just another tool — It will redefine how our world works.

Why memorize facts, write code, research anything — when a model can do it in seconds?

The best communicator, the best analyst, the best problem-solver — is now the one who knows how to ask the right question.

The future won't reward effort. It'll reward leverage.

So, start cheating. Because when everyone does, no one is.

Cluely began as a polarizing experiment in applied AI. Founder Roy Lee, then a student at Columbia, built a tool to help software engineers cheat on technical interviews by using AI to suggest answers in real time. After the project went viral and led to his suspension from Columbia, Lee turned the prototype into a standalone desktop assistant. The product now discreetly analyzes users’ screens and audio to deliver live suggestions, notes, and contextual prompts during meetings, interviews, or sales calls. While early reactions were mixed, Cluely's value proposition was clear: real-time intelligence delivered in context, without waiting until after the call.

Since launch, the company has turned controversy into momentum. Cluely is now generating $7 million in ARR, with adoption from both individual users and enterprise teams. Its go-to-market engine is unusually advanced for a company at this stage. The team includes creators with large followings, and Cluely operates a scaled media operation that produces short-form content across platforms. Its campaigns have driven millions of impressions and strong top-of-funnel awareness.

The product is still early. Competing offerings are emerging, and replication risk is high. But Cluely’s command of attention, its speed of iteration, and its early monetization signal real potential. If the product continues to improve and proves durable across use cases, Cluely could be one of the breakout companies in the emerging category of real-time AI assistants.
