Group 1: Cluely Overview - Cluely is described as an AI desktop assistant that can listen and record audio during meetings, effectively allowing it to participate in discussions on behalf of the user [1]. - The tool has gained significant attention, with promotional claims suggesting it could disrupt nine industries, leading to over 2.93 million views on related tweets [2]. Group 2: Truely Development - Truely, developed by students from Columbia University, aims to detect whether a user is interacting with a real person or a Cluely-powered assistant during video calls [4][5]. - The detection process involves sending an application to the other party, which monitors for the presence of Cluely on their device, alerting the user if detected [7]. Group 3: Truely Features - Truely includes features such as real-time process monitoring, automatic joining of Zoom meetings as a bot, and sending alerts in chat when suspicious processes are detected [9]. - The application requires the other party to install software, which raises concerns about security and the complexity of the process [8]. Group 4: Legal and Ethical Concerns - Cluely has taken legal action against a security researcher for sharing reverse-engineered prompts related to its software, raising ethical questions about its approach to security research [13][14]. - The researcher expressed concerns about the implications of legal threats against security researchers and called for Cluely to be more open to collaboration [15].
