Cluely is a covert AI application that overlays the exam or interview screen. It analyzes what’s shown and spoken, then feeds real-time answers back to the candidate. Unlike traditional cheating methods, Cluely stays invisible during screen sharing, doesn’t trigger keystroke logs, and fakes exam focus tabs—making it hard to catch with standard monitoring tools.
Example of Cluely transparent overlay looks like during an interview
Cluely is designed to stay hidden in plain sight, making traditional monitoring tools almost powerless against it. Its stealth tactics include:
Bypassing keystroke tracking: Instead of normal typing inputs, it relies on hidden global shortcuts, leaving no trace in keylogging systems.
Disguising tab switching: By running as a transparent overlay on top of the exam window, Cluely tricks the system into thinking the candidate never leaves the test screen.
Remaining invisible in screen sharing: Even if the exam is being proctored with screen sharing, Cluely does not appear, keeping its activity hidden from view.
Talview’s proctoring platform blocks Cluely and other AI cheating tools before they can run. With intelligent application control, exams remain locked to authorized apps only. Unlike basic screen monitoring, Talview uses AI and behavioral analytics to identify hidden overlays, suspicious shortcuts, and voice prompts even if the tool is disguised.
