AI Tool for Discreet Assistance and Real-Time Information

The Decrypt article introduces Cluely, an AI-powered desktop assistant designed to help users covertly receive answers during online tests and video interviews. This tool operates as an overlay, utilizing OpenAI technology to provide real-time responses while bypassing proctoring software.

Created by Roy Lee, who was previously expelled from Columbia for a similar AI tool, Cluely has generated controversy by openly marketing itself as a “cheating tool,” sparking ethical debates about the role of AI in assessments and the nature of technological progress. The article also includes real-time cryptocurrency price data for various digital currencies.
