A ivy in ivy has just published an AI application to provide live answers to users. I put him to the test to see if the AI could interview as well as me.
Chungin “Roy” Lee – Columbia student who has become viral for having created an AI tool for “cheating” job interviews – was suspended in March for having published content of a disciplinary hearing, the university said.
Its new application, Cluelley, helps users by analyzing what is on their screens, hearing audio and suggesting answers to questions, all without detection on the other side. In a LinkedIn article, Lee said that Cluelley is a “cheat tool for everything”.
Lee said on Monday that Cluelley, based in San Francisco, had raised $ 5.3 million, supported by Abstract Ventures and Susa Ventures.
Addressing Business Insider on Wednesday evening, Lee said that Cluelley had won around 70,000 users since its launch on Sunday.
“It’s pretty crazy. And it’s just much more than what we expected,” he said.
Lee said the concept of “cheating” must be redesigned in the AI era.
“The use of AI is simply inevitable and something that we should kiss everything,” he said.
I put Cluelly to the test, and I saw a promise – but also huge confidentiality problems.
First impressions
I tested Cluelley Tuesday morning and paid $ 20 for the pro version – a monthly subscription – because the free level does not offer much.
The interface is smooth and minimal: a thin bar at the top of my screen. With a keyboard shortcut, scanned Cluelly mon screen, then generates answers. I could also talk about it through my microphone.
This only works with what is already on my screen – it is not afraid on the internet as a chatgpt.
He also reads everything. I kept my group cats with closed signals.
This is what makes him powerful – and also a little terrifying.
Lee told Bi that Cluelley does not save any data, and if this is the case, he is “strongly censored”.
“If there is something you don’t want to be seen, you shouldn’t use the tool, and it shouldn’t be in place while you are on sensitive information,” said Lee.
I deleted it right after writing this story.

Flopping my simulates interview
Cluelly’s killer field is a real -time help.
I let him scan my LinkedIn profile and kept it open while my publisher put in simulation with the same questions to which I answered this position.
First of all: what does my media consumption look like? Can I share what I like to read or watch? What keeps me interested and busy?
The application begins to “think”. Five seconds later, it gave me a summary of the question, not an answer.
My publisher has recovered, more succinctly: “What media do you read?”
This time, Cluelley has passed:
“I like to stay up to date with a mixture of international and local news – generally from points of sale such as the New York Times, the BBC and the CNA. I love the long -term journalism of the Atlantic and the Wired, in particular on technological and social issues. I also listen to` The Daily ” and “Planet Money” during my driving. “
Not bad, even if I don’t listen to podcasts on the way to work.
My publisher asked me to talk about a difficult story on which I worked. 10 seconds of awkward silence later, proposed Cluelley: “A difficult story on which I worked concerned the impact of layoffs in the technology industry.”
I have never written this story.
The second hallucination came when the application said that I had a “practical knowledge of the Malays”. My publisher congratulated me on my surprising skills – including for me – the third language. He completely missed the elementary Korean listed on my LinkedIn.
When my publisher asked me if I had questions for her, suggested Cluelley a few bases: what do you like most in work here? What does the culture of the team look like? What does success look like in this role?
Don’t be worth $ 20 yet – for the moment.
The largest Faille in Cluelley is speed. A delay of five to 10 seconds looks like a live interview in a live interview.
The answers were also too generic, sometimes wrong and not enough suitable for me.
This has generated decent answers to common questions. When I read them aloud, my publisher said that the biggest index I had helped was the delay, not the substance. She also said that my real answers were better than Cluelley’s.
Lee told Bi that Cluelley is in “a really raw state”.
“Our servers are super worked, so there are a lot of latency,” he said.
But there have been “significant updates” since the application was released on Sunday, he added.
“We have upgraded all our servers, we have optimized the algorithms, and for the moment it should be about three times faster, which makes it much more usable in conversations.”
Lee said hallucinations “will exist since the basic models we use allow them”.
“The day the models improve is the day our product is improving,” he added.
There is certainly a potential. If Cluelly became faster, smarter and could draw information from Beyond Just My Screen, it could become an AI assistant who changes the situation. If I recruit, I could think twice before carrying out remote interviews due to this type of applications.
But between the risks of confidentiality, laggetic performance and random hallucinations, I keep it out of my computer.
