Cue features
Invisible AI for live meetings and interviews. Every feature.
Cue is a stealth AI overlay for macOS. It listens to both sides of every conversation, transcribes in real time, and answers on demand, without ever appearing on screen.
Stealth Overlay#
Floats above every app, beyond screen capture. Cue stays invisible to screen recorders, video calls, and remote viewers.*
- Bypasses screen recording on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and browser video
- No taskbar icon, notification, or visible window on shared screens
- Float above any app without disrupting your active window
- Instant toggle — show or hide in a single keystroke
Live Transcription#
Both sides of every conversation, speaker-labeled, streamed in real-time with high accuracy.
- Captures both your microphone and system audio simultaneously
- Speaker labels distinguish you from the other participant
- Streams to screen in under a second with high accuracy
- Scrollable transcript kept for the full session duration
AI Chat#
Ask anything mid-call. Cue reads the full conversation and context to give answers you can act on immediately.
- Powered by best-in-class reasoning models
- Full conversation transcript included as context in every query
- One-tap quick actions: Assist, Recap, Follow-up, and more
- Attach screenshots for visual context alongside your question
Visual Context#
Instantly add screenshots to any conversation. Diagrams, slides, and code are captured, so every response is grounded in what you see.
- Capture any region of your screen in a single keystroke
- Images are attached directly to your AI query
- Works with slides, diagrams, code windows, and browser content
- No third-party screen share required
Privacy First#
We store nothing. Audio is processed in real time and never saved. Your data stays on your device.†
- Audio is streamed for transcription and immediately discarded
- No recordings, no audio logs, no conversation history on our servers
- Transcript and chat history live only on your local device
- Conversation data is never used for AI training
Personalize Cue#
Customize AI profiles for any scenario, build your own quick actions, and shape exactly how Cue behaves.
- Create named profiles — Interview Mode, Sales Mode, Meeting Mode
- Set a custom system prompt per profile to define AI personality
- Build your own quick-action chips for repeated queries
- Switch profiles instantly without restarting the app
Keyboard Shortcuts#
Every action is a keystroke away. Toggle the overlay, fire a screenshot, summon AI — without lifting your eyes off the call.
- Global hotkeys work even when Cue is not the focused window
- Trigger AI, capture a screenshot, or toggle visibility from the keyboard
- Fully customizable shortcut bindings to suit your workflow
- No mouse movement required during a live conversation

FAQ
Common questions
What makes the overlay invisible to screen recorders?
Cue uses macOS-native window-level APIs to render outside the screen capture surface. This means Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and browser-based video tools capture your screen content but not the Cue overlay sitting above it. Always test in your own environment before relying on it in a high-stakes setting.
What audio sources does live transcription capture?
Cue captures your microphone and system audio simultaneously — so it transcribes both your voice and the other party's audio coming through your speakers or headphones.
Can I attach screenshots to a query mid-call?
Yes. Press the screenshot shortcut to capture any region of your screen, and Cue attaches the image to your next AI query. This is ideal for coding problems, slides, error messages, or anything visual you want the AI to reason about.
Are my conversations stored or used for training?
No. Audio is streamed to a trusted transcription provider and discarded immediately — it is never stored on our servers. Your transcript and chat history live only on your local device, and your conversation data is never used to train AI models.
How do I personalize Cue for different scenarios?
Create named profiles — for example, Interview Mode, Sales Mode, or Meeting Mode — each with its own system prompt that shapes how the AI responds. You can also build custom quick-action chips for repeated queries and switch between profiles instantly from the overlay.
Is Cue free to use?
Cue is free to download and comes with a trial plan that includes AI messages, live transcription, and the stealth overlay — enough to evaluate it in real scenarios. Pro unlocks higher usage limits.
How do I get set up after downloading?
Open the downloaded DMG, drag Cue into your Applications folder, then launch it. On first run macOS will ask for microphone and accessibility permissions — grant these to enable transcription and global shortcuts. The whole process takes under two minutes.
