Alternatives
Looking for a Cluely alternative for live sales and customer calls?
Cluely is a desktop overlay that listens to your audio and screen and surfaces live answers; its marketing leans on being undetectable. SideClue also runs on your desktop with no meeting bot, but it is built for revenue conversations: it works from your company knowledge base, surfaces coaching cards while the other person is talking, and tells you to follow your company's call consent policy rather than promising to hide.
