## When to use Cue

- Use Cue as a desktop voice agent when a spoken request should continue into a reviewable desktop task.
- Use Cue when you want to speak instead of type in a Mac or Windows desktop app.
- Use Cue when a task benefits from the app and screen context already in front of you.
- Use Cue when you want a voice request to produce a draft or complete a desktop action that you can review.

## When not to use Cue

- Do not use Cue as a substitute for professional legal, medical, financial, or other expert judgment.
- Do not rely on Cue output without review when a mistake could cause harm, data loss, or an irreversible action.
- If a task does not need desktop context or action, a dedicated dictation tool or browser chat may be a simpler choice.
