What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

cue is an open-source desktop AI copilot that floats a glass panel over your screen, capturing your screen, microphone, and meeting audio to provide real-time assistance during meetings and coding problems. It is a free, self-hosted Cluely alternative that supports bring-your-own-key providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints) and attempts to stay hidden from screen shares and recordings.

Use cases

  • get real-time AI suggestions during live meetings
  • solve coding problems from a screenshot
  • summarize and recap conversations after meetings
  • generate follow-up questions from meeting audio
  • run a private AI assistant hidden from screen shares
  • self-host a free alternative to Cluely with my own API key
  • use an AI assistant for studying, notes, and accessibility

When to choose

  • you want an open-source, bring-your-own-key alternative to Cluely
  • you need real-time meeting assistance using both your mic and the other participant's audio
  • you want a floating AI helper for live coding problem solving on macOS or Windows
  • you prefer self-hosting and controlling which LLM provider you use

When to avoid

  • you need guaranteed invisibility from screen capture — exclusion is best-effort and can fail on macOS 15.4+ or to phone cameras
  • you are on macOS older than 14.4 and need the meeting-audio (Them) channel
  • you want a fully managed cloud service with no local setup
  • you intend to use it in ways that may violate platform rules or consent laws, such as proctored exams
