Talent data swallowed the day. HR spends more time moving fields than moving people. Our promise: get your time back to do more for your people.
A second user just arrived: AI. It will read, update, and act on talent data faster than any team.
Skills are the only way. Fancy schools aren’t a proxy for capability. A skills map lets you hire, develop, and redeploy based on what people can actually do.
Data silos make skills invisible. ATS, HRIS, LMS, surveys, calendars—none agree. The fix is an Intelligent People System: unified data + compute + reasoning that turns updates into decisions.
Declarative, not procedural. You state intent (“find internal candidates who can ship an AI integration in 60 days”), the system figures out the how—searching, matching, nudging.
Provenance by default. Every match, shortlist, and insight carries source trails and explanations. You can inspect, audit, and improve the system—not just trust it.
Human-first guardrails. Candidates get personal, respectful journeys. Recruiters get transparent controls. Automation does data work; people do people work.
Time to impact. Import your data in a few clicks, start deciding by skills instantly, and let the system keep everything up to date without endless forms.
This isn’t about preserving the old HR stack. It’s about unlocking what comes next: internal mobility before attrition, hiring that’s obviously fair, growth paths that feel designed—not generic.
The choice is binary: keep drowning in talent data, or let an AI system operate it for you. At Clous, we’re building the Intelligent People System so you can focus on your people.

Our journey so far
Our team didn't know anything about HR or hiring when we first started. And Generative AI was just new. That's why our team worked super hard to better understand those disciplines, with a fresh perspective.

v1 Launch
The real deal. After months of refinement, user feedback, and probably too much coffee, we're launching v1. This isn't just an update—it's the skills platform we always knew we could build.
Apr 25
v1 Pre-Launch
Last-minute tweaks, final testing, and that mix of excitement and terror that comes before a major launch. We're putting the finishing touches on everything we learned from v0.

v0 Post-mortem
Users liked what we were building, but we knew we could blow their minds. Back to the drawing board we went — rebuilding, refining, and getting ready to launch something truly game-changing.
Sept 24
v0 Launch
Reality check time. Launching v0 taught us everything—what worked, what didn't, and just how hungry the market was for better talent tools. The feedback wasn't always pretty, but it was pure gold.
May 24
Prototype Launch
Our first real baby steps into the world. After months of user research and endless testing sessions, we had something recruiters could actually use. Rough around the edges? Absolutely. But it worked.
Nov 23
Demo Launch
This was our 'we're serious now' moment. We knew exactly what value we wanted to create and had figured out how to build it. Time to disappear into the engine room and show the world what Clous could become.
Apr 23
Social Media
Going social wasn't just about marketing—it was about building our tribe. We knew we couldn't revolutionize talent management without a community that shared our vision. Time to start real conversations.

Website Updates
Plot twist: our website wasn't just a website anymore. It became an extension of our product, our values, and our commitment to never settling for 'good enough.' Every pixel mattered.
Feb 23
Website Launch
Our digital home was born. Simple, clean, and intuitive—just like we wanted our product to be. Finally, a place where we could properly introduce ourselves and start building relationships with our future users.
Data-driven HR without the drama
Get ahead of those last-minute 'we need five developers ASAP' requests. Early insights + team alignment = higher standards and way less chaos.
AI you can actually trust
Concerned about AI integrity? Good—you should be. We design every part of our system with safety first, ensuring your talent decisions are powered by AI that's as ethical as it is effective.
