Clever Sense is the company behind Alfred, a popular 'butler' app for your phone that makes restaurant and activity recommendations based on your taste preferences. The company was founded in 2008 and has raised around $1.5 million to date.Clever Sense declined to comment, and we're waiting to hear back from Groupon.If you haven't used it before, Alfred might sound a lot like Yelp, and various other recommendation engines.
