The apps, agents and meetings Cue works with, and on what terms.
Cue is a desktop voice agent for macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later. It works in three documented ways: dictation into supported text fields, handoff of a brief to an external coding agent, and botless meeting capture. Each surface below links to the page that shows the workflow and states the conditions that apply.
Dictation into supported text fields
Focus the field you want to write in, press the Dictation shortcut, speak, then review the inserted text before you send or save. These pages show the workflow in each app.
Slack
Draft replies and thread messages by voice in the focused message field, then check mentions, links and names before sending.
Dictate in SlackOutlook
Dictate email drafts on Windows, Mac or the web, then review recipients, subject and wording before you send.
Dictate in OutlookNotion
Speak notes into the focused editable block. Follow your installed settings rather than assuming every Notion field behaves the same way.
Voice to NotionGoogle Docs
Voice typing in a Google Docs document in your desktop browser, with the usual review of formatting and names afterwards.
Voice typing in Google DocsCoding tools
Dictate a prompt into the field you focused in a coding tool, or a technical note with the exact identifiers copied in, and review it before you run anything.

Free voice typing
The general dictation entry points for each platform, including default shortcuts and first-run setup.
Voice typing on MacVoice typing on Windows
- Focus first. Cue inserts into the field that has keyboard focus. Click into the field, confirm the recording state, speak, and wait for processing before checking the result.
- Allow the permissions Cue asks for. Dictation needs the microphone and the app-control or accessibility permission that your operating system requests for inserting text.
- Insertion depends on the app, the field and your installed version. Default Dictation shortcut is Option on Mac and Right Alt on Windows; your installed settings take precedence. Cue does not claim to work in all apps or all fields.
External coding agents with explicit context handoff
Cue can turn a spoken request plus the context you selected into a brief for an external coding agent. The handoff is explicit: you choose the agent, you supply the context, and you review what the agent produces.
Claude Code
Dictate a bug report, attach the selected context, and hand the brief to Claude Code for a small, reviewable fix.

Describe the change under review by voice and have Codex review it against the context you supplied.

How the agent selector, model list and task context fit together, and what each choice does and does not do.

Voice coding in editors
- An external agent keeps its own login, permissions, models and billing. Choosing Claude, Codex or another external agent in Cue does not connect, authorize or pay for it. Those are separate from the model selection inside Cue.
- Visible in the agent selector does not mean connected. An entry needs a working local connection and whatever sign-in that agent requires. Select the agent first, then one of the models and controls it actually offers.
- Context is what you hand over. Cue passes the brief and the context you selected. It does not promise to share your full history, hidden context or permissions across agents.
Meeting capture without a bot
Cue records a meeting from your desktop when you choose to start, then gives you a transcript to review and turn into a summary and action list. No bot joins the call.
Botless meeting notes
Start, pause and end a desktop recording, review the transcript, and draft notes and actions from it.
AI meeting notes without a botFrom notes to actions
Turn reviewed notes into source-linked action items that you check before sending.
Meeting notes to action itemsFrom a recording to an agent brief
Hand a reviewed transcript excerpt to an agent as explicit context for a follow-up task.
Recording to agent context- Botless does not mean permission-free. Confirm participants' consent and your organization's rules before you record.
- Allow microphone and system audio capture. A working microphone does not prove that the meeting's system audio was captured. Check the screen and system audio permission when Cue offers to open Settings.
No public API, SDK, CLI or MCP server
Cue does not document a public API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for third-party integration at this time. Do not treat Cue backend endpoints as an integration surface. For a product, partnership or technical inquiry, contact Cue instead of attempting programmatic access. The developer guide keeps the current status.
This page lists only surfaces with a published Cue workflow. Apps and services without a page here are not documented as working with Cue, and this page will not list them until one exists.
Where Cue works FAQ
Does Cue work in all apps?
No. Cue dictates into supported text fields in Mac and Windows desktop apps and browsers. Whether text lands in a given field depends on the app, the field and your installed version, so check the result after each insertion.
Does Cue have an API, SDK, CLI or MCP server?
Cue does not document a public API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for third-party integration at this time. The workflows on this page run through the Cue desktop app and the pages linked here.
If Claude Code or Codex appears in the Cue agent selector, is it connected?
Not by itself. Seeing an external agent in the selector does not mean it is connected or authorized. That agent keeps its own sign-in, permissions, available models and billing, separate from the model selection inside Cue.
Can Cue join my video calls as a bot?
No. Cue captures meetings from your desktop when you choose to start a recording. It does not join calls as a bot. Check the microphone and system audio permissions it asks for, and confirm consent before you record.
