What is Cleo?
Cleo is an AI-powered Product Manager designed specifically for lean startup teams. Unlike traditional project management tools that act as simple databases, Cleo operates as an active agent within your communication stack (Slack and Telegram) to handle operational overhead.
Why Founders Need It
Founders often find themselves bogged down in the ‘glue work’ of product development—running stand-ups, chasing follow-ups, and documenting decisions. Cleo automates these administrative burdens, allowing the founding team to focus purely on shipping and strategy.
Key Features
- Verifiable AI Memory: Unlike ‘black-box’ systems, Cleo provides source attribution and confidence scores for every piece of information it learns.
- Dynamic Trust Levels: You can configure the AI to act anywhere from a passive observer to an autonomous operator.
- Decision Tracking: Automatically assigns owners and domains to decisions while flagging contradictions.
- Compounding Logic: Information matures from ‘learned’ to ‘settled’ as it survives without contradiction over 30 days.
Pricing & Integrations
Cleo is currently available for free via Telegram, with a focus on deep Slack integration for professional teams. It is positioned to save dozens of hours per month in meeting documentation and task management.
Cleo vs. Alternatives
While tools like Spinach AI or Spoke.ai focus on meeting summaries, Cleo distinguishes itself through its verifiable memory architecture and its ability to act as an agent that tracks and enforces decisions across your team’s workflow.
