Cluely’s ARR doubled in a week to $7M, founder Roy Lee says. But rivals are coming.

Cluely, a Silicon Valley AI startup, doubled its annual recurring revenue (ARR) to $7 million in just one week after launching its enterprise product, according to founder Roy Lee. The tool provides real-time meeting notes, context, and suggested questions during interviews and meetings, appearing only to the user. Originally built from controversial roots—after Lee was suspended from Columbia for creating a job interview cheat tool—Cluely gained traction through bold marketing and is now backed by major VCs like Andreessen Horowitz. A $2.5 million enterprise deal with an unnamed public company highlights strong business interest, but competition is emerging fast. Rival company Pickle launched “Glass,” an open-source replica of Cluely, which quickly gained traction among developers. Cluely’s success may depend on whether it can stay ahead of rapidly developing, free alternatives. READ MORE

Why it matters and how can we adapt to this change:

• Explosive growth signals strong demand: Doubling ARR in one week to $7M shows how valuable real-time AI meeting tools are becoming across industries.

• Controversial origins show brand repositioning works: Cluely evolved from a "cheating tool" to a mainstream enterprise solution with VC backing, proving narrative shifts can drive growth.

• VC validation drives trust and adoption: Backing from firms like Andreessen Horowitz gives Cluely legitimacy, encouraging other businesses to follow suit.

• Open-source competition can disrupt fast: Pickle’s free Glass product is already gaining traction, showing how quickly paid tools can be threatened in AI.

• Real-time note-taking is a hot AI use case: The high adoption rate suggests this feature could become standard in business workflows, reshaping meetings, sales calls, and remote work.

OpenAI rejects Robinhood’s unauthorised tokenised shares

Robinhood sparked controversy by announcing the launch of tokenised shares in private companies like OpenAI and SpaceX as part of its European expansion. These “stock tokens” are blockchain-based derivatives that track the value of companies but do not represent actual ownership or shareholder rights. OpenAI quickly responded, denying any involvement or approval and warning users that the tokens do not constitute real equity. While the move aims to broaden access to private market exposure, especially for European users, it has raised regulatory and ethical concerns. Financial experts caution investors to understand that these tokens offer price exposure, not ownership, and differ significantly from traditional shares. The backlash from OpenAI highlights the tension between innovation and legal boundaries in financial markets. READ MORE

Each intentional cut delivers a deeply satisfying ASMR audio experience — crisp, juicy and clean - echoing in an otherwise silent, meditative space. Sliced piece drops gently to the cutting board.
