Clueso

Clueso is an AI platform built by Desklamp, Inc. (a YC-backed Delaware corporation) that converts rough screen recordings, slide decks, PDFs, and prompts into polished, on-brand product videos and matching step-by-step help articles. It is actively used by teams in customer education, product marketing, learning & development, sales enablement, and IT change management. The platform is rated 4.9 on G2 and is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.

What It Is

Clueso sits in the AI video creation and documentation category, specifically targeting software teams that need to explain products at scale. The core workflow takes any screen recording as input and automatically generates a clean script, AI voiceover, smart auto-zooms, captions, and a structured step-by-step article — all in one pass. Every output remains fully editable by a human or by an AI agent. The platform also exposes its video engine to AI agents via a public MCP server with OAuth 2.1 and publishes 90 open Agent Skills, so tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Cursor can produce finished, exported video without a human touching a timeline.

Core Workflow

The four-step production loop is straightforward:

• Record or upload — use the Clueso Chrome extension to capture a screen, or upload an existing recording, slide deck, or document.
• AI processing — Clueso rewrites the script, removes filler words, adds a natural-sounding AI voiceover (10,000+ voices on paid plans), applies smart zooms, and generates captions.
• Customize — every element is editable: voice, script, clips, music, visual effects, branding, and article structure.
• Export & share — download MP4 or GIF, export articles as rich text, Markdown, or HTML, or share via embed link.

Translation into 80+ languages (voiceover, captions, and documentation together) is available in one click, which the enterprise page states reduces localization costs by 95% compared to agency workflows.

Who It Is Built For

Clueso targets cross-functional teams at software companies:

• Customer education — product walkthroughs, tutorial videos, help center articles
• Product marketing — demo videos, feature release announcements, branded explainers
• Learning & development — internal training videos, SOPs, onboarding content
• Sales enablement — objection-handling walkthroughs, product update explainers
• IT and operations — change management documentation, internal process guides
• Customer success and support — visual help articles, troubleshoot walkthroughs

The about page notes that teams at Teamworks, Swif, Vidyo.ai, CloudEagle, Plotline, and Snappt use Clueso to scale customer education and cut help-doc production time.

AI Capabilities and Agent Integration

Beyond the standard editor, Clueso offers several AI-specific features:

• AI avatars (basic on free/solo, advanced on business/enterprise)
• AI image generation and in-editor image editing
• AI motion graphics
• Article co-pilot for chat-based article editing
• Voice cloning (enterprise only)
• "Clueso cuts" for automatically splitting long recordings into topic-based clips (enterprise only)
• Auto-update agent for keeping videos current (enterprise paid add-on)
• Clueso MCP server available on all plans, enabling agent-driven video creation

The MCP integration and 90 published Agent Skills represent a distinct architectural bet: Clueso positions its video engine as infrastructure that AI agents can call directly, not just a human-facing editor.

Security and Compliance

Clueso is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Data is stored on AWS across three regions (Mumbai, Frankfurt, California). The platform supports SAML/SSO for enterprise customers, and the company states it does not use customer content to train AI models. Enterprise plans include security reviews, DPA support, and assistance with vendor procurement questionnaires.

Current Status

Clueso is actively developed and backed by Y Combinator. The about page reports the team works on-site in Bengaluru and is hiring across design, engineering, and customer success. The homepage states over 300,000 videos have been created on Clueso in the past six months (as reported by the vendor). The platform has been selected as a Grid Leader and High Performer on G2.
