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
  • Eliminates the worst part of SRS: hand-authoring cards
  • Native MCP hooks into Claude and ChatGPT for inline capture
  • Modern FSRS scheduling, not legacy SM-2
  • Offline PWA with cross-device sync
  • Cheap Pro tier at $8/mo
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
  • Anki sync is one-way only
  • Free tier capped at 30 AI notes per month
  • AI-generated cards still need human review for accuracy
  • Smaller ecosystem than Anki's plugin world
