Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Rahim, Co-Founder of Cleo.
In February, I started using OpenClaw as my PM. Pasted in standups. Asked it to draft updates. Treated it like a teammate.
The truth came fast:
OpenClaw is great as a personal assistant. As a product manager, it falls apart.
It doesn't know my team. Doesn't remember what we said yesterday. Every new chat, I had to start over — explain the team, the tone, what mattered, what didn't. By the time I was done, I could've just written it myself.
That's the day Cleo started.
Cleo isn't a chatbot you open. It's an AI product manager that lives in your Telegram, Slack, and Linear — and stays there. Day after day. It learns your team. Your voice. Your decisions. It runs the standups, drafts the messages, catches the follow-ups you forget.
In your voice. Without asking you to start over every morning.
And nothing is hidden. Every fact Cleo learns shows where it came from, how sure it is, and a button to fix it.

One question: when did you stop being the founder and start being the PM?
I'll be here all day. Tell me where this still falls short.

The AI PM angle is interesting because product work is not just task creation. The hard part is explaining why a priority changed. Can Cleo show the evidence trail behind a roadmap decision, such as customer feedback, current sprint load, and launch risk?
interesting that you started from the pain of re-explaining context every session. thats probably the biggest friction with most AI tools right now, they dont remember what matters to your team. curious how Cleo handles conflicting priorities when two people flag something as urgent, does it just surface both or does it actually help triage?
That's exactly what I needed to know — persistent memory across sessions is the killer feature for async teams. We're building Vokio (voice AI for local businesses) and the memory layer for call context is our biggest challenge too. Great work!
Curious how Cleo handles context across long projects — does it maintain memory between sessions or does each conversation start fresh? The PM bottleneck is real for small teams building fast.
How do you pull in offline context easily for remote based teams? Ideally something low lift but I would imagine capturing every single meeting would be adding a lot of non-related content.
what is the difference between Cleo and handing over a few docs for guidelines on any ai agent? genuinely interested.
also, quick feedback on your comment, when you use AI to write it, remove the em dashes and make it personal! good luck!
Decisions are often the hardest thing to capture without losing context: how does Cleo detect that a decision was made in chat/meetings, preserve the “why” and tradeoffs, and prevent the decision log from becoming noisy or stale compared to dedicated decision-tracking tools?
Congrats on the launch! Curious, how does Cleo handle situations where the team has conflicting updates or unclear blockers? Does it just surface them or does it actually try to resolve the ambiguity?
What stands out about Cleo is that it doesn't just track tasks — it actually runs sprints autonomously. Curious how it handles prioritization when multiple stakeholders have conflicting requests. Does it have a built-in negotiation framework or just default to whoever shouts loudest?
Congrats on the launch! How is it different from OpenClaw with some PM skills? You mentioned OpenClaw doesn't remember what you said yesterday, but from my experience it remembers quite well.
Big Congrats on launch! Which AI models are you using? And how is company security handled?
Having an AI PM directly in Slack and Telegram sounds like a massive time-saver for lean teams. Great concept!
the confidence scoring model is the right approach. most AI tools just act on everything with the same certainty and you only find out it was wrong after it already sent the message. curious how the 30 day correction window works in practice when the team structure changes fast
Very cool launch, congrats!
Sending support from the Exabase team 😌
Big congrats on the launch! The transparency model (source + confidence + fix button on every fact) is the right instinct, but I'd push further: there's a failure mode where an auditable AI quietly becomes a verification queue. If I'm confirming and correcting facts to keep Cleo accurate, I've just swapped standup overhead for memory-maintenance overhead. What's the design that keeps the audit asymmetric, where I only look when something's wrong, not to keep it right? Does Cleo surface only low-confidence facts for review, act silently on high-confidence ones, and shrink the queue as it learns my corrections?
Really proud to have worked on the design here. The hardest thing wasn't making it pretty, it was making "you can see everything Cleo knows" not feel like homework. Source, confidence, a fix button on every fact… that's a lot to surface without burying people. Took a few rounds to get the chat and the memory side to live together cleanly. Happy with where it landed
We're one of the early agencies using Cleo. The thing that surprised me: it actually learned how my team writes in 7 days. Now it drafts Telegram updates to clients in my voice and I just approve. Saving me 2-in 57 minutes a day on operational stuff.

Who hunted Cleo?
Cleo was hunted by Rahim. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
