What is it?

cue is an Electron desktop app that shows a small translucent panel over your other windows. It takes three inputs: your screen, your microphone, and meeting audio from the other participants. It sends these to an AI model you choose, so it can suggest what to say next during a call, summarize a conversation, or solve a coding problem from a screenshot.

You can connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure AI Foundry, DeepSeek, Groq, Cerebras, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including local servers such as Ollama. Speech-to-text can run locally through whisper.cpp, or go through Deepgram, OpenAI, or Gemini. Meeting transcripts are saved locally and can be summarized into notes when you stop listening.

The window sets a content-protection flag so most screen-sharing tools leave it out. The project states this is best-effort: newer macOS versions can let some capture tools see it, and a phone camera can always record it. Meeting audio capture is Windows-only; on macOS it requires 14.4 or later and the other participant's audio is not captured on older systems.
