Meeting notes, without the bot.
Nobody likes the moment a recording bot joins the call. Start recording from your desktop when you choose, see a progressive transcript draft during longer meetings, and get a completed transcript and structured meeting note when you stop. Attendees see you, not a notetaker.

Progressive transcript draft on your desktop — nothing joins the call

Why botless matters
Bot notetakers change the meeting. Guests get asked to admit a stranger, sensitive conversations get quieter, and half the room wonders who is recording. A desktop recorder removes the social cost: you stay present, the notes still happen.
During the call
Choose Start and keep talking. During longer meetings, Cue shows a progressive transcript draft on your screen.
Right after
When you stop, Cue completes the transcript and generates a structured meeting note and action items.
The follow-up
Ask Cue to draft a recap email or a Slack update from the notes in your tone.
Bot notetakers vs. Cue
| Bot notetaker | Cue on your desktop | |
|---|---|---|
| Joins the participant list | Yes — "AI Notetaker has joined" | No. Nothing joins the call. |
| Works for in-person meetings | No | Yes — same record button. |
| Where notes live | The vendor's web dashboard | On your desktop, next to your work. |
| After the meeting | A summary in another tab | Summary, action items, and the follow-up drafted in the app you already use. |
More than a recorder
Meeting notes are rarely the end of the job — they are the input to the next one. Because Cue is a desktop AI agent, the transcript feeds straight into real work: draft the client recap, update the task list, translate the notes for a colleague, or pull last week's decision back up when it matters. The recorder and the assistant are the same hotkey.
Meeting notes FAQ
Does a bot join my call?
No. Cue runs on your desktop. Nothing joins the meeting, nothing appears in the participant list, and there is no "recording bot has joined" moment.
Does Cue start recording automatically?
No. Cue can recognize meeting context and offer the recorder, but recording begins only after you choose Start. It does not join the call as a participant.
Which meetings can I capture?
Cue can be used alongside calls such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or in-person conversations. Remote meetings may require microphone and system-audio access; if system audio is unavailable, you can retry or continue with microphone-only capture.
What do I get after the meeting?
During longer meetings, Cue shows a progressive transcript draft. When you stop recording, Cue completes the transcript and generates a structured meeting note and action items; you can then ask Cue to draft a recap or follow-up.
Is it free?
Cue is free to start. See current plan information before choosing Cue Plus.
