Is Pluely right for you?

A good fit for

Users who need contextual help across desktop apps or live discussions and want to choose their model provider.

Before you choose

A hidden overlay is not a guarantee that a meeting permits recording or AI assistance. Audio capture and external model processing should match participant consent and organization policy. Automatic replies consume AI requests; hosted-provider usage and current paid allowances were not confirmed.

Ground the overlay in appropriate context

Select a prompt and permitted model provider, then capture only the screen region or document needed for the question. For live transcription, confirm the applicable recording rules first. Inspect suggested answers and source material before repeating them or making a decision.

Provider costs and local storage

The product advertises a free plan, but this review does not establish the current paid price or request allowance. Bring-your-own API keys can create separate model bills. Locally stored history and locally captured audio do not by themselves establish that model processing stays offline.
