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.

<p>Hey Product Hunt 👋 Rahman here, Co-Founder of Cleo. I'm 19, building this from the US.</p><p></p><p>Rahim told you why we started. I'll tell you the line we refused to cross.</p><p></p><p>Right now there are a hundred tools claiming to be your "AI PM." Be honest - most of them are bullshit. Either it's just another chatbot with a new logo or it's a thin wrapper that "remembers" by dumping everything into a database and praying. No source, no confidence, no way to know if what it's acting on is real or hallucinated. That's not a teammate. That's a liability with a nice landing page.</p><p></p><p>I've shipped products solo since I was a teenager, and the thing that always broke wasn't the code - it was the coordination. Standups, follow-ups, "wait, what did we decide last week?" That overhead scales worse than any infra problem, and one day you realize you've stopped being the founder and become the PM of your own company.</p><p></p><p>Every assistant we tried was great at answering and terrible at remembering us. New chat, start over. Re-explain the team, the tone, what matters. By the time you've briefed it, you could've just done the work yourself.</p><p></p><p>So Cleo doesn't ask you to start over. It lives in your Telegram, Slack, and Linear, learns your team and your voice, and runs the PM work day after day - in your tone, not a robot's.</p><p></p><p>But here's the part I'd stake the whole product on: an AI that runs your team has no business hiding what it knows. So Cleo doesn't. Every fact it learns shows its source, its confidence, and a button to correct it. Five trust levels, from just watching to fully operating. You decide how much rope it gets - and you can always see exactly what it's working from.</p><p>No black-box memory. No "trust me." Just a teammate you can audit.</p><p></p><p>I'm here all day. Tell me where it still falls short — that's the comment I actually want. 🙏</p><p></p><p>Try the bot: <a href="https://t.me/try_cleo_ai_bot" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://t.me/try_cleo_ai_bot</a></p>
<p>The chat-first sidebar with structured memory cards below it is a pattern I haven't seen done well before. Most AI tools force you into either pure chat OR pure dashboard. Cleo manages both, and the seam between them is actually invisible</p>
<p>I've known Rahim since school. Watching him ship has been wild - they killed their own launch in May because telemetry wasn't right, rebuilt in in 5 days, and kept every paying customer. That kind of operating velocity is rare. Pulling for them</p>
