Real-time AI for live calls
SideClue is a desktop co-pilot for sales and customer calls. It listens to your conversation and surfaces concise coaching suggestions on screen — without joining the meeting or recording you.
They're questioning whether the ROI justifies the spend.
“this feels expensive for what we'd get out of it”
Say this
Totally fair — most teams ask that. Can I walk you through how customers like yours measure payback in the first quarter?
Follow-up: What would need to be true for this to feel like a clear win for you?
What it isn't
Not another meeting tool
Most tools optimize for what happened yesterday. SideClue is for what is happening right now.
Typical tools
Built for after the call
- Bot joins the meeting as a participant
- Records and uploads to the cloud
- Delivers a summary when it's over
- Another tab to manage mid-conversation
SideClue
Built for the moment you're in
- Runs locally — nothing joins the call
- Listens to both sides on your desktop
- Surfaces coaching while you're still talking
- Glance, respond, back to the conversation
How it works
Three steps. No setup theater.
Start before the call
Set a brief in 30 seconds: who you're talking to, what you want out of the conversation.

Present while you talk, gone when you're done

FAQ
Questions
Does SideClue join the meeting as a bot?
No. SideClue is a local desktop app installed on your Windows PC. It captures audio from your microphone and system output directly. It does not join meeting rooms, appear to other participants, or send a bot link.
What does SideClue do with audio?
Audio is processed in real time by Deepgram's transcription service and analyzed locally for context. Nothing is stored after the session ends. There is no cloud recording, no replay, and no archive.
Who is SideClue for?
Revenue and customer-facing professionals who run live calls: sales, customer success, recruiters, and account managers.
Does it work with Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet?
Yes. SideClue works with any meeting platform because it captures audio at the OS level, not inside the meeting app. No plugin, extension, or bot account is required.
What operating systems does SideClue support?
SideClue is available now for Windows 64-bit. macOS is not available yet.
How is SideClue different from Gong or Chorus?
Gong and Chorus analyze calls after they end. SideClue works during the conversation in real time. SideClue does not join as a bot, does not record to the cloud, and does not require IT integration.
Is SideClue free?
SideClue has a free plan with 5 live minutes per month. Paid plans add more live minutes, AI answers, and notes.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Sign in to your account billing page and open Manage subscription. You can cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal.
Does SideClue store my conversations?
No cloud recording or long-term storage of your audio. Transcripts are processed in real time for coaching during the session.
How does SideClue know what to say during a call?
SideClue transcribes both sides of the conversation, reads the full context, and surfaces a coaching card with what to say next, anchored to the most recent thing said.
