Cluely is a desktop AI meeting assistant. It listens to calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack, takes notes, and shows real-time answers in an on-screen window without joining the meeting as a bot. The Starter plan is free; Pro costs $19.99 a month.
The bottom line
A real-time AI call copilot for sales reps and interview prep — useful, but ethically polarising.

Free tier; Pro from $19.99/mo
Features7/10
7 - real-time overlay + OCR + CRM integrations are genuinely differentiated; undetectability tier is a liability, not an asset.
Value6/10
6 - Free tier is meaningfully limited; $19.99 Pro is reasonable; $149.99 Undetectability tier is extreme for most buyers.
Ease of use8/10
8 - desktop app installs in minutes, overlay activates automatically on call join with minimal setup.
Ecosystem7/10
7 - works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack calls; CRM sync (Salesforce, HubSpot) on the enterprise plan.
Support6/10

What it really is
Cluely — real-time AI coaching overlay for live video calls and meetings.
Our take
Cluely is a desktop AI assistant for live calls. It listens to the conversation, takes notes and shows answers and talking points in a window that other participants don't see. It launched with the slogan "cheat on everything" and now markets itself as a meeting assistant; its enterprise plan syncs meeting notes to CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot, according to Cluely's documentation.
Why we rate it
Setup takes minutes, it works across the main meeting apps without a bot joining the call, and the enterprise plan syncs notes to CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot.
The catch
The $149.99/mo 'Undetectability' tier explicitly sells deception tooling, which raises serious ethical concerns and may violate employer or platform terms of service.
Best for
Sales reps wanting live deal coaching and objection handling
Job seekers preparing for high-stakes interviews
Teams needing automated post-call CRM logging to Salesforce or HubSpot
Not good for
Organisations with strict AI-transparency or honesty policies
Non-video-call knowledge work (no async or document workflows)
Budget-conscious teams who need deep call analytics — cost jumps steeply
Friction report
Time to value
Fast: install desktop app, sign in, join a call — overlay is live in minutes.
Moderate: meeting transcripts and CRM sync create data gravity; no public API for transcript export.

Cluely says its window doesn't appear in shared screens or recordings, and it sells a Pro + Undetectability plan at $149.99 a month that it describes as completely hidden from meeting screen-sharing software. Using a hidden assistant can break the rules of an interview, exam or employer, so check those policies first.
