Cluely review
A strong fit for live meeting assistance, with useful notes and follow-up tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cluely is an AI meeting assistant for people who want help during conversations, not only summaries afterward. Its desktop app captures computer audio without joining calls as a bot, then provides real-time transcription, AI answers, suggested responses, automatic notes, action items, and follow-up email drafts. It supports calls across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Slack, while the iPhone app adds recording, transcription, AI assistance, and synchronized notes.
Pricing is structured around a free plan, Starter, Pro, and Pro + Undetectability. Starter includes limited AI responses and meeting notetaking, along with custom instructions, file uploads, and questions about past meetings. Pro adds unlimited AI responses and meeting notetaking at $19.99 per user per month with monthly billing; the published annual equivalent is $11.99 per user per month, with unlimited meetings included. Pro + Undetectability costs $149.99 per user per month monthly and adds hiding from meeting screen-sharing software, alongside everything in Pro.
Cluely’s main strength is the breadth of assistance available while a meeting is happening. Screen-aware assistance, bot-free capture, real-time suggestions, and mobile synchronization support an active workflow, while past-meeting search and follow-up drafts extend its value after calls. The tradeoff is that its positioning emphasizes live assistance over deeper post-meeting workflows, and its desktop coverage centers on Windows and macOS. Choose Cluely if live answers and in-meeting guidance are priorities; consider another assistant if your primary need is a broader post-meeting workflow or a different desktop platform.
