Pros	True real-time overlay — answers appear in ~300 ms while the meeting is still in progress, not after Does not join calls as a bot, so participants never see a 'Cluely Notetaker' avatar in the roster Works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack Huddles from a single desktop app Captures both microphone and system audio, so it handles in-person conversations as well as remote calls Auto-generated summaries, action items and suggested follow-up questions save real post-call admin time 12+ language transcription with strong accented-English performance	Excellent Google Workspace integration Very long context window Strong on STEM tasks Cheapest frontier bundle
Cons	'Undetectability' raises serious consent and ethics issues in jurisdictions with two-party recording laws Top tier at $149.99/mo is expensive compared with Otter, Fireflies or Granola Underlying models are not disclosed, so enterprise buyers have no way to audit data-handling or model provenance No native CRM/Notion/Slack integrations of the depth Gong or Fathom offer — export is mostly manual Free tier is very restricted; realistic daily use requires the paid Pro plan Product is young and pivoted from an interview-cheating tool, so trust and roadmap stability are open questions	UX still less polished than ChatGPT/Claude Refusals can be inconsistent Limited fine-tuning controls
