What is Pluely?

Pluely is the invisible AI assistant for the moments that matter live. It's a lightweight, always-on-top desktop overlay for macOS, Windows, and Linux that hears your meeting, sees your screen, and answers in real time — a suggested reply while the interviewer is still finishing their question, a translation as the client speaks, the error on your screen explained without switching windows.

No bot joins your call. Nothing shows on a screen share. It's one keypress away, above whatever you're doing.

The headline act: it answers for you, live

Turn on Listen mode and Pluely transcribes the conversation as it happens — both sides, speaker-labeled, no bot. Then automatic responses take over: when someone asks you something (or after every pause — you choose), Pluely responds on its own, using the prompt you selected and the files you attached to it. Your résumé makes interview answers yours; your pricing sheet makes sales rebuttals grounded; the Translator prompt turns every pause into a translation.

That one loop — live transcript in, prompt-shaped answer out, automatically — is why people use Pluely in interviews, client calls, and meetings every day.

Everything else it does

• Ask anything, in context. Type a question, attach a screenshot, image, or document — or flip on Use image so every question silently includes your current screen. Answers stream into a clean panel. (Ask mode)
• Search the live web. Two web-search models sit pinned at the top of the model picker for questions that need current information.
• Summarize and transform. Turn a meeting transcript into a summary, action items, or a translation with one tap. (Meetings)
• Run on your AI. Pluely's managed models with zero setup, your own provider key, or a local CLI — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Ollama. Switch any time. (Choosing your AI)
• Stay private. Conversations and meetings are stored locally on your device; the overlay stays discreet on screen shares; managed AI never exposes its underlying infrastructure. (Privacy)

Who Pluely is for

• Interview candidates — behavioral and technical rounds, with answers grounded in your actual résumé. (Pluely for interviews)
• Sales and customer-facing teams — live objection handling and instant answers with the client on the line. (Pluely for sales calls)
• People in back-to-back meetings — accurate live notes and one-tap summaries, without a bot participant. (Pluely for meetings)
• Developers — AI over your screen without leaving your IDE, or fully local through your own CLI. (Pluely for developers)

How Pluely is different

Pluely isn't a chat website in a tab, and it isn't a meeting bot that dials into your call. It's a native, screen-aware, privacy-first overlay that works during the conversation instead of after it.
