About Clarveni
Finding the news is easy. Deciding what matters is the work.
Most leadership teams can find out what their competitors, customers and partners did this week. Far fewer have time to decide which of those changes affect their own business, and what to do about them. Clarveni exists for that part.
There’s more news than anyone can act on.
Think about an ordinary week. A competitor launches something new. A customer announces an acquisition. A partner raises money. Each of those is reported somewhere, and none of them arrives with a note saying whether it matters to you.
Gathering the news isn’t the hard part. Feeds and dashboards will collect as much as you like. What they leave to you is the judgement: which changes touch your plans, which can wait, and whether anything needs doing.
That judgement usually gets squeezed into a busy week, or made differently by each person who reads the news. Decisions end up resting on whoever happened to notice what.
One brief a week, written around your business.
Every Monday, Clarveni brings the developments at the competitors, customers and partners you follow into one brief. For each main development it explains what changed, why it matters to your business and the next step worth taking, with the sources behind each recommendation.
The same announcement can mean one thing from a rival and something else from a partner. So Clarveni judges each development by what you’ve told it about your business, and two businesses following the same company can receive quite different briefs.
It’s weekly on purpose: one brief you can read before the week starts, not another feed to keep up with. Send it to as many colleagues as you like, so the discussion starts from the same evidence.
AI does the reading. Your team decides.
Every brief is built the same way, so you can see what supports it and how far the evidence goes.
Your priorities set the agenda
A development earns its place by what it could mean for your plans, not by how loudly it was announced. Clarveni uses the business context you give during setup and each company’s relationship to you, whether that’s a competitor, customer, partner or something else.
Each main development shows its sources
Each main development links to its sources in Clarveni. Each news source shows a date where one is available, usually when it was reported; some dates are when the article was found, so check the source when timing matters. A change Clarveni found itself shows the date Clarveni observed it, which isn’t necessarily the day it happened. If a record has no source link, Clarveni doesn’t supply a plausible-looking one.
Written by AI, with automated checks before sending
Clarveni uses AI to assess each development and write the brief. Automated checks look at evidence references, dates, contradictions and recommendations before it’s sent, but they can’t prove every interpretation is right. Briefs are not edited by hand before they are sent; for founding customers, the founder reads the early briefs first. If you’d like someone on your team to approve it first, turn on review before send.
The decision stays with you
A brief recommends a next step. Your team decides whether to act and who takes it forward, using what it knows that no public source can tell it. When the evidence doesn’t justify changing your plans, the brief says so and explains why.
Written for whoever owns the decision.
A founder wants to know what deserves attention this week. An executive team wants to know where it needs a shared decision. A product leader asks whether a move changes the roadmap. A sales leader asks what belongs in the next sales review.
Everyone on an edition receives the same brief, and each reader takes from it what bears on the decisions they own. Add an edition for another team when its decisions differ.
Clarveni is designed around the companies relevant to your business rather than a single industry. The examples lead with software and technology businesses, with retail, manufacturing and professional services alongside. What it can cover depends on the public sources available.
Three words from 47 BC.
After winning at Zela in 47 BC, Julius Caesar wrote to a friend in Rome: veni, vidi, vici. I came, I saw, I conquered. We coined Clarveni from clarus, meaning clear, and his first word, veni.
Clarveni is said clar-VEN-ee.
