AI meeting copilot for real-time calls

A meeting copilot is different from a meeting recorder. The recorder waits for the call to end. A copilot works alongside you while the conversation is still happening.

LiveCue is an AI meeting copilot for Mac. It listens to your call and surfaces private, real-time cues — the next question to ask, the objection worth addressing, the clarification you're about to forget — without anyone else on the call knowing it's there.

What a copilot actually does during a call

The term "AI copilot" gets applied to a lot of tools. For meetings, the meaningful distinction is timing: does the tool help before the moment passes, or does it help you review it afterward?

A genuine meeting copilot is active during the conversation. It listens for signals — a vague answer, an unasked follow-up, a shift in tone — and surfaces a short cue you can act on immediately. You still drive the meeting; the copilot handles the peripheral task of tracking what's worth probing.

• Next-question prompts: when the other person wraps up a point, a good copilot suggests the logical follow-up so you don't have to mentally compose it on the spot.
• Objection cues: on a sales or negotiation call, a copilot can flag pricing or timeline signals and prompt a response while you still have the floor.
• Clarification reminders: it tracks the things you meant to circle back to and resurfaces them before the call ends.
• Live recaps: a running summary of decisions and action items so nothing slips through mid-conversation.

Why post-meeting tools don't cover this gap

AI notetakers have improved dramatically. They transcribe accurately, summarize usefully, and email you a clean recap within minutes of the call ending. That is genuinely valuable.

But a notetaker cannot tell you, in the moment you need it, that the person you're talking to just gave a non-answer on timeline and you should push. It cannot prompt you to ask about the second stakeholder who was mentioned offhand and then never brought up again. Those moments close before a post-call summary reaches your inbox.

A meeting copilot covers the live layer that notetakers skip. The two tools are complementary — many people use a notetaker for the record and a copilot for the conversation itself.

The copilot layer: questions, objections, and clarifications

The most common uses for a live AI meeting copilot fall into three categories:

Follow-up questions

Most missed opportunities in meetings come from not asking the obvious follow-up. The copilot listens and suggests the next probe when the answer is vague, incomplete, or interesting enough to dig into. You decide whether to use it; the suggestion is there so you don't have to split attention between listening and composing.

Objection handling

In sales and negotiation calls, the hardest moments are the ones that need an immediate response: a price concern, a competitor mention, a timeline objection. A copilot surfaces a short prompt in that moment so you have something to work with rather than improvising under pressure.

Open threads

Meetings generate threads that go unresolved: topics introduced and dropped, action items mentioned but not assigned, people referenced without a clear role. A copilot tracks these and resurfaces them before the call wraps so you close them rather than chase them later via email.

Private by design: the screen-share-safe overlay

A meeting copilot only works if the other participants don't know it's there. Anything visible on your screen share or in a recording undermines the tool's purpose on sensitive calls.

LiveCue runs as an overlay that is excluded from macOS screen capture. It does not appear in screen shares, cloud recordings, or local recordings. The cues are yours alone.

It also does not join the call as a bot. There is no extra participant in the attendee list, no recording consent notification, no robot waving in your Zoom waiting room. From everyone else's perspective, it is an ordinary call.

How LiveCue works as an AI meeting copilot

LiveCue captures system audio on your Mac — the same audio that plays through your headphones during a call. It processes what it hears and surfaces short cues on your screen as the conversation unfolds.

Because it reads system audio, it works with every platform that routes audio through macOS: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Discord, and anything else. There is no platform-specific integration to configure.

After the call, LiveCue generates a recap of decisions and action items from the session, so the live help is backed by a clean record.

Who benefits most from a live meeting copilot

A real-time AI meeting copilot is most valuable in high-stakes, outcome-dependent conversations:

• Salespeople and account executives on discovery and negotiation calls where the next question determines whether a deal moves forward.
• Founders in investor meetings, partnership discussions, and enterprise sales calls.
• Consultants in client discovery where the quality of questions shapes the scope of work.
• Recruiters and hiring managers in structured interviews where consistent probing matters.
• Customer success and support on escalation calls where the details change quickly.

Use it responsibly

A meeting copilot is a tool for being more prepared and present, not for circumventing consent or company policies. You are responsible for following the rules that apply to your meetings — local recording and consent laws, employer policies, and any platform-specific terms. LiveCue is designed to help you have better conversations, not to bypass rules that exist for good reasons.

FAQ

What does an AI meeting copilot do?

An AI meeting copilot listens to your call in real time and surfaces prompts — suggested follow-up questions, objection cues, and points worth clarifying — while the conversation is still happening, so you don't have to pause and think of the next move yourself.

Is LiveCue's AI meeting copilot visible to other participants?

No. LiveCue runs as a screen-share-safe overlay on your Mac. The cues appear only on your screen and are excluded from screen capture, so they won't appear in recordings or screen shares.

How is a meeting copilot different from an AI notetaker?

A notetaker records and summarizes after the call ends. A meeting copilot is active during the call — it gives you live cues and prompts so you can act on them while the conversation is still happening.

Which meeting platforms does LiveCue work with as a copilot?

LiveCue captures system audio on your Mac, so it works as a copilot across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Discord, and any other platform that routes audio through macOS.
