Meeting notes, without the bot.
Nobody likes the moment a recording bot joins the call. Cue captures the meeting from your desktop instead — a live transcript while you talk, and summaries, action items, and the follow-up email when you are done. Attendees see you, not a notetaker.

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
Hit record and keep talking. The transcript streams live on your screen — searchable while the meeting is still going.
Right after
Ask for the summary, the decisions, or the action items with owners. Cue writes them from what was actually said.
The follow-up
Turn the notes into a recap email or a Slack update in your tone, before everyone else has even reopened their laptop.
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.
Which meeting apps does it work with?
Cue works alongside the calls you are already in — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or an in-person conversation — because it captures on your machine instead of joining the meeting.
What do I get after the meeting?
A live transcript during the meeting, then whatever you ask for after it: a summary, decisions, owners and action items, or a draft follow-up email in your tone.
Is it free?
Cue is free to start. Recording and live transcription are covered by the free daily allowance, with paid plans for heavier use.
They hear what you said.
Cue sees what you're doing.
And does the thing, in any app.
