Clueso has raised $10 million in a Series A round led by Dharana Capital to expand its enterprise video platform. In its 13 October announcement, the company said the money would support its agent infrastructure, video creation and editing technology, and team.
Y Combinator and f7 Ventures participated again, while Founders Future and Neotribe Ventures joined as new investors. Clueso says more than 80 per cent of the capital came from investors that had backed it at the seed stage. It also reports use by more than 1,000 organisations. Those adoption figures are company statements, rather than independently audited customer counts.
Y Combinator’s portfolio profile lists Akash Anand, Neel Balar and Prajwal Prakash as the founders, with Clueso part of its Winter 2023 batch. It records a 2023 founding year and Bengaluru location. Anand is the chief executive, Balar the chief business officer and Prakash the chief technology officer. The profile describes the business as enterprise software for turning screen recordings into instructional videos and documentation.
The company’s own about page says its team works on-site in Bengaluru. Its legal operator is Desklamp, Inc., a Delaware corporation trading as Clueso.
Clueso’s earlier $1.4 million seed round was announced on 23 April 2024, led by f7 Ventures with Y Combinator participating. In that announcement, Anand described the shift from Desklamp, a note-sharing tool for students and academic researchers, to enterprise video software. He wrote that the founders struggled to turn academic users into paying customers and changed direction during their YC programme. The difficulty of producing demonstration videos for their own software became the starting point for Clueso. At the seed stage, the product took an existing screen recording and generated a video with a written guide. The present agent workflow adds the task of navigating and recording the product itself.
Video capture, editing and updates in one workflow
Clueso’s product documentation describes a browser agent that enters a demonstration or staging account, navigates workflows and captures screen recordings. The material can then be used for product demonstrations, tutorials and employee training. A reference video supplies the desired visual style.
The output remains an editable draft. Users can change the script, timing, voiceover, captions and recorded footage before publication. The company describes the browser editor as a way to retain human control over the finished material.
A GitHub connection is optional. Clueso says access to a frontend repository helps it understand interface changes and identify videos that need updating, while leaving the code unmodified. Its documentation also allows use through a demo account without connecting GitHub.
The company separately documents a Model Context Protocol connection through which compatible AI assistants can create and edit videos or manage the video library. It describes bulk changes to existing material, such as revising branding or producing language versions, while retaining manual editing. Clueso says the connection follows existing workspace permissions, limiting access to projects and assets available to that account. Users can revoke the connection in settings.
Enterprise access has documented limits
Clueso’s privacy policy, updated on 8 October, draws narrower boundaries around enterprise access. Its code-connected module uses read-only access to selected repositories. Automated recording is described as operating in a customer-nominated non-production environment, without accessing production systems or production customer data. These enterprise modules require an order form and are not enabled by default or included in self-serve accounts.
The same policy says submitted content is sent to AI subprocessors for functions such as transcription, generation and voice synthesis. It says customer content is not used to train generalised models and requires the same commitment from those subprocessors. Some inputs and outputs are recorded for quality and cost monitoring. The policy also states that AI processing transfers content outside its selected storage region because the AI subprocessors are US-based services. These are policy commitments, not an independent security audit or a claim that no data leaves the customer’s systems.
