Frequently asked questions
What is Cluegent?
Cluegent is a customizable Windows and macOS desktop AI assistant for live interviews, meetings, coding screens, and screen workflows. It listens when you start it, keeps rolling context, and shows private responses on your desktop.
Does Cluegent join my meeting?
No. Cluegent runs as a desktop app and does not join as a meeting participant or install a browser extension into the call.
Which platforms does Cluegent work with?
Cluegent is designed for desktop workflows across Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, coding editors, browsers, and document windows.
Can I customize how Cluegent answers?
Yes. In Settings, the Customize section lets you add resume context, tune listening responses, screen responses, and typed prompt responses, and manage quick action buttons for common prompts.
Is the private overlay a guarantee against every detection method?
No. Cluegent is designed to stay out of standard screen capture behavior, but users are responsible for following laws, platform rules, workplace policies, school policies, and interview rules.
