Free AI meeting assistant for Mac
Most people looking for a free AI meeting assistant want the same thing: real help during the call without a subscription, and without handing over the meeting to a tool they don't trust.
LiveCue is a free AI meeting assistant for Mac. It runs on your desktop and gives you private, real-time cues, follow-up questions, and clean recaps — without adding a bot to the call.
Free to download: LiveCue works on macOS 13+ and starts giving you live cues on your next Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call. Download for Mac.
What "free" usually costs with meeting tools
Free meeting assistants are common, but the word "free" hides a few different trade-offs. It's worth knowing which one you're signing up for.
- Free, but a bot joins the call. Many notetakers are free because they attend as a visible participant and record everything. Everyone on the call sees the bot.
- Free, but your meeting data is the product. Some tools upload full transcripts to train models or feed sales features.
- Free trial, then a paywall. "Free" turns into a subscription prompt the moment you rely on it.
LiveCue's approach is different: it's free to download, runs locally on your Mac as a private overlay, and does not join your meeting as a bot.
What you get with LiveCue for free
- Live cues and follow-up questions while the call is still happening.
- A private, screen-share-safe overlay that other participants and recordings don't see.
- Clean recaps of decisions and action items after the call.
- No meeting bot on the participant list — nothing extra appears for others.
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and WebEx, because it captures system audio.
Why a private, bot-free tool matters when it's free
When a tool is free, the privacy question gets more important, not less. A free notetaker that records the whole meeting and stores it in the cloud is a different risk than a free assistant that runs on your own machine.
LiveCue is built as a private overlay first. Your cues appear only on your Mac, and the overlay is marked as excluded from normal screen capture, so it stays out of screen shares and recordings.
Who a free meeting assistant helps most
A free, bot-free assistant is a good fit for founder-led sales calls, consulting and customer conversations, interviews where assistance is allowed, and everyday internal meetings where you want help staying sharp without changing how the meeting looks.
Use it responsibly
Free doesn't mean rule-free. You're still responsible for consent laws, meeting rules, and employer or interview policies. LiveCue is a productivity assistant for preparing better, listening better, and remembering follow-ups — not a way to bypass those rules.
