AI App “Cluely” Targets All-Scenario Cheating, Riles Critics

Cluely, branding itself as an AI-based “cheat on everything” service, debuted with a viral video demonstrating how users can lie to dates or pass interviews by receiving covert on-screen prompts. The founder raised millions in funding, claiming this is just another form of everyday tech assistance. Alarmed observers worry the app encourages deception, further blurring lines between skill, authenticity, and AI-driven manipulation.

What this means for you:
Stay alert—if you rely on video calls for real negotiations, someone might be using AI to appear more competent or charming.
Organizations may adopt extra security or in-person tests to confirm authenticity.
In the meantime, remember that AI can’t fix knowledge gaps forever—eventual performance checks might expose fibs.
