The private Cluely alternative for Mac
If you're looking for a Cluely alternative, LiveCue is a real-time AI meeting assistant for macOS built around one idea: live help that stays private to you. It listens to your call and surfaces the right question to ask, the detail to clarify, and the action item to capture — in an overlay screen-share-safe, with no bot ever joining your meeting.

Why people switch to LiveCue
It's private to you — no bot in the room
Many meeting tools add an obvious bot participant or route your call to a vendor cloud. LiveCue Mac-native app and keeps its overlay out of screen share, so the people you're talking to never see a thing. The help is for you alone.
It helps during the call, not just after
A transcript you read afterward can't help you ask the right question in the moment. LiveCue surfaces sharp follow-ups, points to clarify, and action items while the conversation is happening, with the first nudge in about six seconds.
It's built for high-stakes conversations
Job interviews, sales calls, client meetings, and lectures all need different help. LiveCue adapts — pulling answers from your resume in interview mode, surfacing objection handlers on sales calls, and tracking decisions in team meetings.
