Cleo: The AI PM Every Team Needs to Reclaim Their Time

In the fast-paced world of startups, the transition from builder to manager is often an unwelcome one. Many founders start a company to build innovative products, but soon find their days consumed by standups, endless message threads, and constant follow-ups. Cleo was created to change that. Built by founders for founders, Cleo is the AI Project Manager that takes over the administrative and coordination tasks, allowing you to get back to what you do best: building.

What's Cleo?

Cleo is an autonomous AI entity designed to run your company while you focus on development. It is described as the "team you've been trying to hire—already running." Unlike traditional project management tools that require manual input and constant updates, Cleo acts as a proactive agent. It plugs directly into your existing communication stack, specifically Telegram, to handle the rhythm of your business.

At its core, Cleo is powered by advanced intelligence that allows it to operate without rules and without constant supervision. It is the bridge between your team's goals and the execution of daily tasks. By using Cleo, you are not just getting a tool; you are getting a team of agents that work simultaneously to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

How to Use Cleo

Getting started with Cleo is designed to be as frictionless as possible. Because Cleo is built to save you time, the setup process involves only three easy steps to let AI begin organizing your day.

1. Start the Bot: Begin by opening Cleo on Telegram. This serves as the primary interface for your AI PM.
2. Connect Your Stack: Link the tools you already use. Cleo is designed to work with your existing stack, meaning there are no new apps to learn and no complex migrations to undergo.
3. Cleo Takes Over: Once connected, Cleo runs the rest. It begins organizing your workflow automatically, running standups, and managing communications in the background.

Key Features of Cleo

Cleo is equipped with a comprehensive suite of features that address every manual job a founder typically has to perform.

Specialized Agents and Coordination

• Standups Managed End to End: Forget the daily grind of manual standups. Cleo runs them from start to finish, ensuring everyone is aligned without requiring your presence.
• Agents on the Clock: Cleo utilizes a team of agents that can work at the same time, significantly increasing your team's output and operational speed.
• Coordination in Rhythm: Cleo holds your entire company in one consistent rhythm, ensuring that all moving parts are synchronized.

Intelligence and Performance

• Code Reviewer: Cleo acts as a technical gatekeeper. It reads every Pull Request (PR) and flags bugs before they are merged, maintaining code quality automatically.
• Deep Research: Need information on competitors or clients? Cleo can conduct deep research into topics, providing you with the insights you need without the manual search time.
• Total Recall: One of the most powerful features of Cleo is its ability to remember everything. It holds a memory of every message, decision, and promise ever made in your company.
• Sees Before You Ask: Cleo doesn't just wait for commands. It spots patterns in your week and surfaces important information unprompted, acting as a proactive partner.

Communication and Voice

• Inbox in Your Voice: Managing an inbox is time-consuming. Cleo writes emails and messages in your specific style, maintaining your professional voice while you focus on high-level tasks.
• Meeting Replies: Cleo can reply for you during meetings or in follow-up threads, ensuring that your voice is always heard even when you are busy building.

Use Case: Transforming the Founder Experience

Cleo is specifically tailored for founders and teams who are overwhelmed by the "reality" of modern company management.

The Reality vs. The Cleo Experience

In a standard setup, you spend your days in standups and threads. With Cleo, the dynamic shifts entirely: Cleo runs the company, and you build it.

For Engineering Teams

For technical teams, Cleo serves as an automated quality assurance layer. The Code Reviewer feature ensures that bugs are caught early, while the Total Recall feature ensures that technical decisions made months ago are never forgotten. This is particularly useful during rapid scaling where documentation often falls behind.

For Operations and Research

Operations teams can leverage Cleo for Deep Research. Whether it is scouting competitors or researching new client opportunities, Cleo handles the heavy lifting of data gathering. Meanwhile, the Automation pillar ensures that company processes run without the need for strict, brittle rules.
