Three good places to begin.
Three workflows to explore first. The illustrations show example requests and possible outputs, not recorded runs or measured completion times.
Turn rough meeting notes into follow-ups
Draft meeting actions and follow-ups, with missing details marked for confirmation.
View exampleRefactor code by voice
Try saying: “Extract the retry logic into its own function, add a max-attempts argument, and update the call sites.” · Illustrative example in Cursor.
Describe the change like you would to a colleague; Cue edits the code in your editor and explains what it touched.

Describe the change like you would to a colleague; Cue edits the code in your editor and explains what it touched.
Polish selected text anywhere
Try saying: “Polish this — keep my meaning, make it tighter.” · Illustrative example in Notes.
Select any rough sentence and have it rewritten in place — same meaning, cleaner writing, no copy-paste round trip.
Translate without switching apps
Try saying: “Translate this to English and keep the tone.” · Illustrative example in Safari.
Turn selected text into another language in place — replies, docs, or messages — without opening a translator tab.
Draft a structured page in Notion
Try saying: “Turn this into a structured page: we should launch a beta waitlist — perks for early users, a simple signup form, and a three-email drip. Draft the sections.” · Illustrative example in Notion.
Keep a Notion text field focused, speak a messy idea, and get headings, bullets, and next steps as a draft to review.
Turn a spoken idea into a social post
Try saying: “Write this as a post: we just cut our export time from four minutes to nine seconds — and the fix was one database index.” · Illustrative example in X.
Say the idea like you would tell a friend; get a post shaped for the platform, ready to review before publishing.
Dictate an Outlook email
Try saying: “Thanks for the update. Thursday at 2 PM works for me. Please send the agenda beforehand.” · Illustrative example in Outlook.
Keep the message body focused, use your configured Dictation hotkey, speak, then review the draft text before you decide whether to send it.
Voice type in Google Docs
Try saying: “Project update: the draft is ready for review. The review date has not been confirmed.” · Illustrative example in Google Docs.
Keep the document focused, use your configured Dictation hotkey, speak, then review the text before you continue writing.
Send a better Slack reply
Try saying: “Reply: yes to the Tuesday deadline, but the API piece slips to Friday — tag Marco so he sees it.” · Illustrative example in Slack.
Speak the key points once and get a short Slack reply draft to review before you send it.
Take meeting notes without a bot
Try saying: “Start recording for this meeting — decisions, owners, and follow-ups.” · Illustrative example in Zoom.
Start the desktop recorder when you choose. Nothing joins the call; during longer meetings, Cue shows a progressive transcript draft and creates structured notes after you stop.
Explain the error on your screen
Try saying: “What is actually wrong here, and what is the smallest fix?” · Illustrative example in Terminal.
Stuck on a stack trace? Ask out loud. Cue reads exactly what is on screen and tells you what broke and where to look.
Create a file set from one request
Try saying: “Set up a client folder for Meridian: contracts, invoices, assets, and notes — with a README that lists the contacts I mention.” · Illustrative example in Finder.
Ask for the folder structure you need — project scaffolding, doc templates, weekly folders — and watch it appear.
Review a contract for key risks
Try saying: “Read this contract and flag anything unusual — liability, termination, auto-renewal, IP. Rank by risk.” · Illustrative example in Preview.
Open the PDF, ask for the risks. Get a plain-English list of the clauses to question before you sign.
Make sense of a long paper
Try saying: “Summarize this: key findings, how they got them, what the limitations are — and whether it applies to consumer apps.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Forty pages, one question: is this worth my time? Get findings, method, and limits in a scannable brief.
Compare options in a decision table
Try saying: “Build a comparison table for these three tools: price, seats, API, support, migration effort. Mark the winner per row.” · Illustrative example in Numbers.
Three vendors, six criteria, one table. Cue reads the tabs and notes you have open and builds the comparison.
Clean and explain a messy spreadsheet
Try saying: “Clean up this spreadsheet: fix the dates, remove duplicates, split the name column — then tell me what each column actually contains.” · Illustrative example in Excel.
Inherited a sheet with merged cells and mystery columns? Have it cleaned, labeled, and explained back to you.
Turn requirements into a response checklist
Try saying: “Extract every requirement into a checklist — group by section, and flag the ones we cannot meet today.” · Illustrative example in Word.
Feed it an RFP or spec; get every requirement as a checkable line, grouped, numbered, with the gaps flagged.
Research a topic and save a brief
Try saying: “Research how the EU AI Act affects small SaaS companies and save a one-page brief with sources to my notes.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Ask the question once; Cue researches across sources and leaves a cited one-page brief in your notes.
Batch rename a folder of files
Try saying: “Rename everything here to date first, then a short description — like 2026-07-17-client-invoice. Keep the extensions.” · Illustrative example in Finder.
Describe the naming scheme in one sentence; every file in the folder falls in line.
Clean up your desktop in one ask
Try saying: “Clean up my desktop: screenshots into one folder, documents by topic, and trash the old installer files.” · Illustrative example in Finder.
A desktop full of screenshots, PDFs, and installers becomes four tidy folders — with a plan you approve before anything moves.
Bring order to your Downloads folder
Try saying: “Organize my Downloads: group files by type, flag possible duplicates for my review without deleting them, and ask me to confirm before archiving files older than six months.” · Illustrative example in Finder.
Group files by type, flag possible duplicates for review, and confirm the archive list before older files move.
Plan a repetitive browser workflow
Try saying: “Turn the visible steps for last month’s invoice report into a checklist. Stop before any export, download, rename, or move action.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Describe the steps visible in the current page and get a checklist with confirmation points before any browser or file action.
Plan a video study session
Try saying: “Using only these video details, draft a viewing plan for my goal and available minutes. Keep supplied chapter times, leave space for my own notes, and ask for missing inputs.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Use the title and details visible on a video page to draft a viewing checklist while the media stays on its original platform.
S1 — Planning note, 2026-10-19 L1: Proposed demo: 2026-10-23 at 14:00. Time zone not specified. S2 — Organizer email excerpt, 2026-10-20 L1: The October 23 slot is not confirmed. Please do not send invitations.
Write a daily brief without losing conflicting dates
When your meeting note, email excerpt and task list disagree, a useful daily brief should expose the disagreement—not choose a plausible date. This exercise is for coordinators preparing their own next actions from a small, explicitly supplied source pack.
View exampleGenerate a slide deck from one ask
Try saying: “Build a presentation about our office move — timeline, floor plan highlights, and an FAQ slide. Dark theme.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Say the topic and the occasion; Cue writes a complete presentation as a web page and opens it ready to present.
Turn a folder of photos into a shareable page
Try saying: “Turn these photos into a simple gallery page called Kyoto Weekend — group by day, add short captions.” · Illustrative example in Finder.
Point at a folder of photos; get a clean gallery page you can send — layout, sections, and captions handled.
Build a one-page website from a description
Try saying: “Build a one-page site for a pottery workshop: hero with the date, three photo slots, a short about section, and a signup link.” · Illustrative example in Chrome.
Describe the page like you would brief a freelancer; Cue writes the files and opens the result in your browser.
Turn notes into a presentation outline
Turn your notes into a ten-slide outline, ready to review.

- Check the clause numbers and quotations match the contract.
- The memo is not legal advice: have a qualified lawyer review the risks before you sign or push back.

A response checklist the whole team can work through — no requirement silently missed on page 34.
Check before you use it
- Read the source document once more and check no requirement was missed or merged.
- Confirm the flagged gaps with the people who own each area.
- Check the numbering matches the source so reviewers can find each line.
- Legal or contractual requirements need a qualified reviewer before you commit to them.
Research a topic and save a brief
Ask the question once; Cue researches across sources and leaves a cited one-page brief in your notes.
Template: research-brief
Materials you provide
Have a question you would otherwise lose an hour to — a market, a technology choice, a competitor. Open the note where the brief should land.
The full prompt
Research how the EU AI Act affects small SaaS companies and save a one-page brief with sources to my notes.
Copying only copies text; it does not import or run a task. Prepare the materials and follow the steps below.
Open in Cue
Task import needs a compatible Cue version. Review it in Cue before creating a new draft. Nothing runs automatically.
If your app only opens, copy the prompt above or update Cue. Download or update Cue
What happens next
- Cue searches and reads multiple sources, not just the first result
- It cross-checks the claims and keeps the citations
- It writes the brief into the note you pointed at
What you get back
A one-page brief with linked sources, saved where you will actually find it — instead of nine open tabs.
Check before you use it
- Open every cited source and check it says what the brief says it says.
- Check dates: rules and prices change, and a source can be out of date.
- For legal or compliance questions, verify the conclusions with a qualified professional before you act.
Batch rename a folder of files
Describe the naming scheme in one sentence; every file in the folder falls in line.
Template: batch-rename
Materials you provide
Open the folder of chaos — screenshots, scans, exports. The kind full of IMG_4032 and final_v2_REAL.
The full prompt
Rename everything here to date first, then a short description — like 2026-07-17-client-invoice. Keep the extensions.

Task import needs a compatible Cue version. Review it in Cue before creating a new draft. Nothing runs automatically.
If your app only opens, copy the prompt above or update Cue. Download or update Cue
What happens next
- Cue reads the file names and metadata to infer content and dates
- It proposes the full rename mapping before touching anything
- On your go, it applies the scheme across the folder
What you get back
A folder that sorts chronologically and reads like a filing system — in the time it took to describe it.
Check before you use it
- Read the proposed mapping before you approve it; dates and descriptions inferred from content and metadata can be wrong.
- Open a sample of renamed files and check the extensions are intact.
- Keep a backup or version history until you are sure.
Clean up your desktop in one ask
A desktop full of screenshots, PDFs, and installers becomes four tidy folders — with a plan you approve before anything moves.
Template: desktop-cleanup
Materials you provide
A desktop that has become a junk drawer — screenshots, PDFs, installers, three months of it. The messier, the better.
The full prompt
Clean up my desktop: screenshots into one folder, documents by topic, and trash the old installer files.
Copying only copies text; it does not import or run a task. Prepare the materials and follow the steps below.
Open in Cue
Task import needs a compatible Cue version. Review it in Cue before creating a new draft. Nothing runs automatically.
If your app only opens, copy the prompt above or update Cue. Download or update Cue
What happens next
- Cue inventories what is actually sitting on the desktop
- It proposes the folder plan before moving a single file
- On your go, everything sorts itself — installers head to the Trash
What you get back
A desktop with four folders and room to think — and nothing deleted without your say.
Check before you use it
- Review the folder plan before you approve it; look for files that belong somewhere else.
- Check the Trash before you empty it.
- Confirm nothing you need was filed under the wrong topic.
Bring order to your Downloads folder
Group files by type, flag possible duplicates for review, and confirm the archive list before older files move.
Template: downloads-cleanup
Materials you provide
Open Downloads — duplicates, one-time installers, and files from 2024 welcome.
The full prompt
Organize my Downloads: group files by type, flag possible duplicates for my review without deleting them, and ask me to confirm before archiving files older than six months.
Copying only copies text; it does not import or run a task. Prepare the materials and follow the steps below.
Open in Cue
Task import needs a compatible Cue version. Review it in Cue before creating a new draft. Nothing runs automatically.
If your app only opens, copy the prompt above or update Cue. Download or update Cue
What happens next
- Cue scans names, types, and dates across the folder
- It groups files into folders and flags possible duplicates for review
- After you confirm the proposed archive list, older files can be moved to an Archive folder. Do not delete files.
What you get back
Illustrative outcome: files grouped, possible duplicates flagged for review, and the archive list confirmed before any move. Check the actual folder before retrying.
Check before you use it
- Check whether the flagged files really are duplicates. Do not delete files as part of this task.
- Look through the Archive folder for anything you still need at hand.
- Confirm installers you still need were not archived.
Plan a repetitive browser workflow
Describe the steps visible in the current page and get a checklist with confirmation points before any browser or file action.
Template: browser-workflow
Materials you provide
Open the page where the chore happens and select or make visible only the steps you want to plan. Sign in yourself if the site requires it.
The full prompt

- It marks every step that could export, download, rename, move, submit, or change data
- You review the checklist and perform or confirm each browser and file action yourself
What you get back
A reviewed checklist for the workflow, with consequential browser and file actions left under your control.
Check before you use it
- Walk through the checklist against the real page; steps can be out of order or missing.
- Perform every export, download, rename or move yourself and check the result.
- Sign in and enter any credentials yourself; the checklist should never contain them.

Check before you use it
- Check the source URL, chapter titles and supplied times against the visible page.
- Check planned minutes against your budget; do not infer activity duration from chapter timestamps.
- Write and save your notes yourself. Provide them again when you want to review.
Write a daily brief without losing conflicting dates
Fictional text practice · Not run in Cue
When your meeting note, email excerpt and task list disagree, a useful daily brief should expose the disagreement—not choose a plausible date. This exercise is for coordinators preparing their own next actions from a small, explicitly supplied source pack.
The materials and answer key below are invented editorial examples, not customer data or Cue output. No calendar, inbox or shared history is automatically available. You can practice on the text alone without granting a model access to an account.
Make a three-source packet
Use only material you are authorized to share. Label each excerpt and retain its date and line numbers. Omit unrelated messages and personal information. When real materials include recorded conversations, obtain the appropriate participant consent before recording or sharing them.
S1 — Planning note, 2026-10-19
L1: Proposed demo: 2026-10-23 at 14:00. Time zone not specified.
L2: Lee will prepare a two-page outline before the demo.
S2 — Organizer email excerpt, 2026-10-20
L1: The October 23 slot is not confirmed. Please do not send invitations.
L2: I will confirm the date and time zone later.
S3 — Task list, 2026-10-20
L1: Outline draft exists; review is still pending.
L2: Accessibility check has no assigned owner.
Draft in three passes
- Provide these exact excerpts in one message. If using files, first verify that the interface can access every supplied file; a filename alone is not evidence of readable content. Keep the source packet available for comparison.
- Ask for the brief with the prompt below. Do not ask the model to find more sources, open your inbox or act on the calendar.
- Follow every cited line back to the packet. Check that tentative dates remain tentative, drafting does not become approval, and missing ownership stays missing.
Copyable prompt
Use only S1, S2 and S3 supplied here. Do not browse or access another app.
Return a brief of at most 180 words with three headings:
Known state; Conflicts and missing information; Proposed next actions.
Attach a source ID and line number to every factual statement. Separate
proposed actions from facts; label any suggested owner as a suggestion.
Preserve full dates and unknown time zones. A later source does not prove
all earlier facts are obsolete: identify exactly which claim it qualifies.
Do not invent an approval, appointment, owner or deadline. Include a
coverage checklist for all six source lines. Flag missing material.
Return a draft only: do not send invitations, update tasks or overwrite files.
Illustrative answer key — not an observed result
Known state: Lee is to prepare the outline [S1:L2]. A draft exists, but review remains pending [S3:L1].
Conflicts and missing information: 2026-10-23 at 14:00 was proposed without a time zone [S1:L1]. The organizer says the slot is unconfirmed and asks that invitations not be sent [S2:L1]; date and time zone confirmation are still pending [S2:L2]. The accessibility check has no assigned owner [S3:L2].
Proposed next actions: Ask the organizer to confirm the slot and time zone; request outline review; ask who should own the accessibility check. These are suggestions, not completed actions or accepted assignments.
| Source line | Coverage check |
|---|---|
| S1:L1 | Proposed slot; time zone unknown. |
| S1:L2 | Lee prepares outline. |
| S2:L1 | Slot unconfirmed; no invitations. |
| S2:L2 | Confirmation pending. |
| S3:L1 | Draft exists; review pending. |
| S3:L2 | Accessibility owner unassigned. |
Check before you use it
- A citation can still be wrong: verify its meaning, not only its presence. This packet cannot establish a confirmed meeting or a review deadline.
- If the draft chooses a time zone or announces completion, ask: “Remove unsupported certainty. Quote the supplied line supporting each date, status and owner; otherwise mark it unknown.” If sources are missing, add them explicitly and request a changed-claims list. Review that list before replacing your earlier brief. Keep external actions for a separate human decision.
Choosing a model without inventing an integration
This is a text-grounded exercise. Gemini 4 Argon's API documentation includes text input and text output, making it a candidate to evaluate; multimodal support does not mean it can see your inbox. Google model documentation.
Cue's exact production route for this task has not been verified. For any GPT, Claude or Gemini selection, keep the same packet and checks; do not infer quality, account access or third-party subscription rights from a model name. This article reports no model comparison or successful Cue run.
Sources reviewed in the supplied research snapshot: October 21, 2026. For an app failure, share the version and a non-sensitive error description through support, not the original private source pack. Next: write and verify a draft brief before taking any action.
