Pluely for Designers: Critiques, Feedback & Client Calls

You're presenting your own work, driving the screen, and someone is talking about a shade of blue three frames back — which comment survives to the revision list? In most critiques, almost none of them do. Pluely transcribes the whole session live while you present, labels every voice, and turns scattered reactions into a concrete revision list the moment the call ends — so you defend the work in the room and still walk away with every comment on record.

Built for presenting

You can't take notes while sharing your screen. Pluely's overlay solves the mechanics: it stays discreet on screen shares, so reviewers see your Figma file and nothing else, and it never steals focus — a mid-review question typed into the composer won't drop your cursor out of the prototype you're driving. Meanwhile Listen mode captures every voice on the call locally, with no bot joining as a participant, and works with whatever meeting app the review runs on.

During a critique or client review

  • Speaker-labeled transcript — with four people reacting at once, the transcript records which reviewer said what, so conflicting feedback gets attributed to a person, not to "the team."
  • Screen-aware questions — screenshot the exact frame someone is reacting to (or use region capture via image uploads) and ask Ask mode to check a contrast ratio, sanity-check a layout convention, or recall a pattern from the design system.
  • Client references — when a client shares their own mockups or brand material, capture it and ask Pluely to unpack the intent behind the reference before you respond.
  • Grounded talking points — attach the brief and style guide to a custom prompt in Prompts. Turn on Automatic responses and when a client asks "what's the thinking here?", a drafted answer appears — built from your brief and the live transcript. It never interrupts mid-sentence, and passing remarks don't trigger it.

After the session

Every review is saved locally as a reopenable meeting in Meetings. Generate action items to turn scattered comments into a revision list, or a summary for teammates who missed the review. Ask for a "must fix" versus "nice to have" split — reviewers rarely rank their own comments, but the transcript usually makes the intensity of a reaction obvious. That's twenty post-critique minutes of reconstruction, gone.

How to set it up

  1. Switch to Listen mode in the overlay before the critique starts.
  2. Grant microphone and screen-recording permission so other participants' audio is captured.
  3. Press Start listening and present normally — the overlay stays out of your screen share.
  4. Screenshot anything on screen you want a quick sanity check on, and ask in the composer.
  5. Press Stop when the session wraps; the meeting is saved automatically.
  6. Generate action items or a summary for your revision list.

Tips

  • Keep the same summary structure across recurring critiques so your design log stays consistent between projects.
  • Attach the original brief before a client review so every screen-aware answer stays grounded in what was actually agreed.
  • Each automatic response uses one AI request, with your remaining budget always visible — see Plans & usage.
  • Pick a model that's strong at structured lists when you want a clean action-item breakdown rather than prose.
