Undetectability and Virality Don’t Go Together

We aren’t trying to be well known or mainstream. Viral products have a target on their back and get patched by interview platforms.

  • There are at least 4 known coding interview platforms that can detect Cluely, while those same platforms cannot detect ULTRACODE.
  • We at ULTRACODE proudly spend over $10k/month to maintain enterprise-grade proctor accounts with CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal, Codility and more. None of our cheaper competitors do this.
  • We can GUARANTEE undetectability because we test ULTRACODE on every top interview platform DAILY to make sure we are still undetectable.
Detection test: Cluely is flagged “AI Assistant Detected!” while ULTRACODE shows “No Assistant Detected”

Cluely Can’t Pass Coding Interviews

Cluely is an AI notetaker that tries to be a jack of all trades but is a master of none. It doesn’t even write code out of the box!

  • ULTRACODE is built for one use case: passing every technical interview without detection.
  • ULTRACODE is fine-tuned by a team of engineers from Stripe, Google, Meta and Microsoft on every problem type, including system design, LeetCode, object-oriented design and trivia, and has been battle-tested in thousands of interviews.
  • ULTRACODE offers unlimited access to fine-tuned versions of the most powerful foundational models, while Cluely only offers cheaper models.
  • Cluely simply cannot write code at the level needed to get a “hire” rating at top companies.

ULTRACODE Invented Invisible AI for Coding Interviews!

ULTRACODE launched in early 2024, a full year before Interview Coder and Cluely even existed.

  • Cluely’s CEO once accidentally left their API keys in their public GitHub repo, while ULTRACODE has never had a data breach despite being in business much longer.
  • ULTRACODE was founded by two ex-FAANG staff-level engineers and an AI research PhD, while Cluely was founded by a recent college dropout.
  • ULTRACODE is invisible to screen sharing, so you can see it but your interviewer can’t.
Not visible to anyone but you

Solve ANY Problem, Not Just Coding Questions

Unlike our competitors, ULTRACODE isn’t limited to coding questions.

  • ULTRACODE solves everything from LeetCode problems to object-oriented design to trivia and anything else you throw at it!
  • ULTRACODE even solves the hardest system design problems!

Side by side. No contest.
