What do you need to get done?

Pick a task to see the most relevant Cue workflow, not another comparison.

Begin with the Work Already on Screen

Cue can use the active screen, selected text, and current app as context. You can ask it to work on what is already open instead of moving that context into a separate chat.

Finish a Desktop Task in the Current App

Cue is designed for desktop work that needs an action after the spoken request. Its workflow stays connected to the app you are using rather than ending at a text box.

One Voice Workflow for Mac and Windows

Cue is available for Mac and Windows. Press a hotkey in the application you are using, speak, and start from the screen context already in front of you.
