Where Cue fits next to what you use.
If you already ask a chat app things in another window, Cue is the one that sits over the app you are in and sees it. If you are choosing a dictation or meeting tool, the table below puts Cue next to Wispr Flow and Granola, from their own sites.
What Cue adds to asking a chat app.
This is about how Cue works, not a claim about any other app. Use whichever chat app you like for long conversations; Cue is for the question you have about the thing in front of you.
It opens over the app you are in
Hover the notch or hold the key. No window to switch to, no screenshot to paste: Cue sees the window when you ask.
It shows you where to click
Ask how to do something and Cue answers in steps for the window you have open, then points at each one on your screen.
It writes where your cursor is
Hold the key and talk, or tap it in a thread for a reply in your voice, straight into the field.
It knows your day
Your calls, notes, people and promises, each with where it came from, so an answer can use them when it helps.
What each one does.

The part after you speak.
Dictation and meeting notes are now table stakes. What Cue adds is a buddy that sees your screen, and the work that comes after the words: the reply, the context, and what you owe.
One key, two moves
Hold it and Cue types what you say. Tap it in a thread and Cue reads the conversation and drafts the reply in your voice, into the field you were already in.
It sees what you see
Ask about the window in front of you, or let Cue put one line in the notch mid-call when a number or an unanswered objection matters. Silent the rest of the time.
It remembers what you owe
People, facts and promises from your messages and your meetings, each with where it came from, and each one deletable. Nothing counts as known until you accept it.
Honestly.
If one of these matters most to you, the other tool may be the better pick today.
Windows and Android
Wispr Flow and Granola run on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. Cue runs on Mac and iPhone.
Breadth of dictation
Wispr Flow lists 100+ languages, snippets for text you type often, and styles per app. If dictation is all you need, it is very good at it.
Notes as a team
Granola is built around sharing notes with the people in the meeting and chatting across them. Cue's notes are yours first.
Pick by the job.
You mostly need to type faster
Wispr Flow.
You mostly need meeting notes your team reads
Granola.
You want one buddy on your Mac that sees what you are doing, types, replies and remembers
Cue. Ask about whatever is on screen, hold the key to dictate, tap it to reply, and it sits in your meetings without a bot.
