Your AI lives in a tab.Your work does not.
Cue is one key, in every app on your Mac. Press right Option and it works from the window you are already in: drafting in your voice, dictating into any field, answering what is on your screen. Nothing to open, nothing to paste.
Can you do Thursday for the offsite? Also still waiting on that agenda you mentioned, I would rather people read it the night before than skim it in the room.
The work is here. The help is six steps away.
Copy the thread. Find the tab. Paste it. Type out the half the tab cannot see. Read the answer, copy it back, then fix the tone, because it does not sound like you. Now find your way back to what you were actually doing.
Six steps around one sentence, and the sentence was the only part that was ever the job. Cue is the other arrangement: the assistant comes to the window, reads what is already on it, and leaves the answer where your cursor is.
The reply needs the thread, your history with this person, and the way you write to them. All three are here. None of them are in the tab.
The good prompt is a paragraph of context that the tab cannot see, so you type the context out again, or you send a worse prompt.
The answer is in a document you cannot open, because forty people are watching your screen.
One key. Four moves.
No window to open, no tab to find, no prompt box to fill. Everything Cue does starts with a key your thumb is already resting on.
Thursday works. I will send the agenda before Friday so nobody has to read it in the room.
There is a fifth, for when your hands are already busy: say “Hey Cue” mid-sentence and the rest of the sentence goes to the assistant instead of into the field.
Three windows, and not one tab opened.
The reply you would have written, already written.
She never leaves the reply box. Cue reads the thread through the window she is already in, and it knows how she writes to this person, because it learned that from the replies she actually sent. One tap of right Option and the draft is in the field, at her length, with her greeting, ready to edit. Nothing was pasted anywhere to make that happen.
- Reads the thread in place, through macOS Accessibility, with nothing pasted
- A named voice per relationship, learned rather than described
- Edit the draft and Cue asks whether to keep the change as style
Before we renew I need the two extra seats priced, and finance wants to know whether the annual discount still stands if we add them mid-term.
Both seats are covered at the current rate, and the annual discount holds through the term, so nothing changes for finance. I have put the numbers in the sheet from last quarter so they are looking at the same page you are.
Say the whole prompt. Do not type it.
The context is on his screen and in his head, and the only reason it does not reach the prompt box is that it would take a minute to type, so he sends a worse prompt instead. He holds right Option and says all of it. Cue strips the ums and the restarts and puts the paragraph in the box he was already in, whichever tool that is.
- Lands in the box you were in, whether that is an editor, a terminal or a browser
- A personal dictionary, so your repos and your libraries come back spelled right
- A cleanup dial, from verbatim to tidied, because sometimes you meant the verbatim
um so can you look at, at the the pgbouncer pool settings and tell me why sessions is holding connections after a deploy, like check the OTel traces too
Look at the pgbouncer pool settings and tell me why sessions holds connections after a deploy. Check the OTel traces as well.
Ask without leaving the call.
This is the trip she genuinely cannot make. The answer is in a document she cannot open with forty people watching her screen. So she asks Cue instead: it reads the slide she is already presenting, checks the accounts she connected, and answers in place. On Max its own windows are kept out of what she is sharing, so the room sees the deck and nothing else.
- Answers grounded in the screen you are already presenting
- Reads your connected Notion, Drive, Docs and Slack to answer
- Reads to answer, asks before it acts, and never sends as you
Hides Cue's windows from screen sharing and screen capture. The app itself stays visible in the Dock and the menu bar, and windows that belong to macOS rather than Cue, like the sign-in sheet and the file picker, cannot be covered. Max only, off until you turn it on.
Say it in yours. Send it in theirs.
There are two language settings and they answer different questions. One is the language Cue answers you in. The other is the language Cue writes in when it is writing as you.
Set the second one to English and you can dictate the reply in Egyptian Arabic and send English. Not a word-for-word translation: what a fluent English speaker would have said, carrying your meaning, your intent and your register, with names, quotes and technical terms left exactly as you said them.
- 17 languages to pin, on either axis, or automatic on both
- A reply matches the language of the thread you are in without being asked
- Your language is passed to the transcriber, so it hears you right in the first place
قولهم العرض هيبقى جاهز يوم الخميس، ومش هنقدر نأجّل أكتر من كده.
Tell them the deck will be ready on Thursday, and that we cannot push it any further than that.
Or leave it alone, and keep the dialect you actually speak.
On automatic nothing is translated at all, and nothing is tidied toward the textbook variety of your language either. Dictation comes back in the dialect you spoke it in, keeping the regional words, the idioms and the spellings, and if you switched language halfway through a sentence, so does the text.
October launch, conditional on the data migration landing first.
Be in the meeting, not in the notes.
Cue records from your Mac on two tracks, your microphone on one and the system audio on the other, clocked together, and transcribes it in segments while the call is still running. Because the two tracks stay apart, every line knows which side of the call it came from.
By the time you stand up the write-up already exists, in the template you picked, and whatever you said you would do is on your list. You did not take a note.
- 8 write-up templates, from standup to discovery to client call, and switching one rebuilds the notes from the transcript it kept
- The questions you set are answered against the transcript, not from memory
- Anything you promised lands on your commitments list with a date, not in a paragraph nobody rereads
- 2 hours a month on the free plan, 50 on Pro
And then the recording is gone.
The audio is deleted the moment a transcript exists, on the Mac and on the iPhone both. It is the largest thing Cue would ever hold on to, and the words have replaced it. This is worth saying plainly rather than burying, because someone who goes looking for the recording a week later will assume it is still there. It is not.
How a meeting runs, start to finishIt does not stop at the sentence.
Coming to the window is the trick. What arrives when it gets there is a full assistant that lives on your machine: it remembers, it reads, it records, it connects, and it acts, and it shows you every step it took.
- 01
Commands you use every day, on one tap
Make it shorter. Warmer. Translate it. Reply and decline politely. Saved instructions that run on whatever field you are in.
- 02
A memory that stays on your Mac
Facts, people, and what you said you would do, each with where Cue learned it and a delete button on the line.
- 03
Answers about what is on screen
What am I looking at, what changed, what is this error. It reads the window in front of you rather than asking you to paste it.
- 04
Work that takes more than one step
Reply to this and put it in my calendar. Cue plans it, stages each step, and stops at the one that needs you.
- 05
11 connected accounts
Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slack, Outlook, Notion, Linear, Jira, GitHub. Reading is on, writing waits for your yes, and deleting is blocked outright.
- 06
The web, in every session
Search and a browser that finds the real link and opens it on your Mac, rather than describing where it might be.
- 07
Routines that run themselves
Triggers, schedules and steps on a canvas, reporting into a briefing. Anything that would send still waits for you.
- 08
And an iPhone in your pocket
A Cue keyboard whose whole job is dictating into any app on iOS, and a record tab for the room you are standing in.
You are the only one who can press send.
Cue reads a great deal to be useful to you, so it is worth being exact about where all of it goes. This is the whole story, and the same story the privacy page tells at length.
- The memory graph: your facts, your people, your promises
- Your voices and everything Cue learned about how you write
- Dictation audio, and every meeting recording
- Drafts, insights, and the dictation timings
None of it is on our servers in a form anyone there could read.
- The model call itself, which is made from Cue's backend rather than from your Mac
- The dictation clip, to a zero-retention transcriber
- A screenshot, when you ask about your screen and leave that on
- Live conversation audio, for as long as a live conversation is open
Every line above is a switch in Privacy, and each one can be off.
- Send, post, or reply as you, in any app
- Delete anything inside a connected account
- Write to a connected account without you approving that exact write
- Act in your apps, which stays off until you turn it on yourself (beta)
Not a policy, and not a switch. There is nothing here to turn on.
Never leave the window
you are in.
Install it. The next time you are about to open a tab to get help with what is in front of you, press right Option instead. That is the whole tutorial.
