Cleo was founded by Barney Hussey-Yeo and Aleksandra Wozniak, after they teamed up at company builder EF. Cleo is a digital financial AI assistant chatbot available via Facebook Messenger. Users interact with Cleo through a conversational interface and for many could be a replacement for their existing banking. Cleo allows users to ask for insights into all of all their spending across multiple accounts and credit cards.
