Features

Everything you need to think on your feet

From the first word to the follow-up, Cue keeps up with the conversation so you can focus on the person in front of you.

Hears both sides

Computer audio and your microphone are transcribed live on separate tracks, so the interviewer is never confused with you. Echo suppression keeps your mic from double-counting.

AI Help, one keystroke

Press Ctrl+Enter when the question lands, or switch on Auto generate and let Cue answer every question on its own.

Analyze Screen

A problem on a shared screen or in a coding pad? Ctrl+Shift+Enter reads what is on your display and solves it.

Coding, explained

Clarifying questions, approach, idiomatic code in 12 languages, then complexity and edge cases, so you talk through it instead of reading it.

Your story, not a script

Behavioral answers become STAR stories from your real resume. Cue never invents employers, titles or metrics.

A floating overlay

A slim, always-on-top bar beside your meeting window. Answer, Chat and Auto are one click away; adjust opacity, text size and window size to fit.

Saved transcripts

Turn on Save Transcript for a session and it is kept encrypted on your device, on the session card.

Conversation summaries

Automatic recaps with the key questions, your answers and follow-ups to send, after every call.

Session types

One copilot for every call

Pick the session type when you create it. Cue tunes how it listens and what it writes.

Interview

Company, job description and resume in, tailored answers out. Paste a job link and Cue fills the details for you.

Regular call

Sales calls, client meetings, stand-ups. Crisp talking points for objections and tricky questions.

Mock

Your microphone plays the interviewer. Read questions aloud and rehearse with real answers.

How it works

Set up tonight. Shine tomorrow.

No calendar integrations, no bots joining your call. Cue sits on your machine and listens only when you activate a session.

  1. Step 1: Create a session — free

    Pick Interview, Regular or Mock. Add the company, the job description (or paste a job link) and your resume.

  2. Step 2: Activate when the call starts

    Sign in once with Google or an email code, then one click starts a 30-minute block for half a credit. It auto-extends, and you can stop it any time.

  3. Step 3: Answer with confidence

    Glance at a structured answer in your own words, in the app or on the floating overlay.

Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate. How did you resolve it?

  • Situation: At Northwind Pay, a senior peer and I disagreed on Kafka vs. SQS for our billing migration.
  • Task: Settle it fast without stalling the roadmap or the relationship.
  • Action: I proposed a one-week spike and we agreed on the metrics up front: throughput, ops cost, replay.
  • Result: The data made the call for us. We shipped on schedule and cut invoice latency 40%.

Takeaway: agree on how to decide before deciding.

Built for the moments that matter

Sample testimonial

The coding answers lay out the approach before the code, so I could talk through my thinking instead of reading a solution.

Priya S.Software engineer
Sample testimonial

Behavioral questions used to freeze me. Seeing my own projects come back as STAR bullets kept me calm and specific.

Marcus T.Product manager
Sample testimonial

I rehearsed with Mock sessions every evening for a week. The overlay is small enough to forget about until you need it.

Elena R.Data analyst
Sample testimonial

Pricing objections come fast on calls. Having a crisp talking point appear in about a second changed how I handle them.

Daniel K.Sales lead
Sample testimonial

Paying per half hour instead of a monthly plan is exactly right for job seekers. My clients only pay for the calls that matter.

Aisha B.Career coach
Sample testimonial

Answers stay grounded in my actual resume. It never made up an internship I did not have.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still curious? A human reads every message.

1 credit is 1 hour of live help and costs $9. Sessions run in 30-minute blocks of 0.5 credit, charged when a block starts. When the timer reaches 0 the session auto-extends by another block, and you can stop it from the timer at any time. Creating sessions is free, there is no subscription, and credits never expire.

On Windows, the desktop app captures the sound your computer plays, so audio from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet is transcribed without any extra setup. In Chrome or Edge, you share the meeting tab with audio. Your microphone is captured separately so the two sides are labelled correctly.

No. Audio is processed in memory and passed through our server to Google Gemini for transcription. It is never written to disk, on your computer or on ours. Transcripts are only kept when you turn on Save Transcript for a session, and then they are stored encrypted on your device. You can wipe everything with one click.

On the Fast model, the first words of an answer arrive in about 0.9 seconds after a question is detected (median in our tests). Transcription adds roughly two seconds after the speaker pauses. Balanced and Quality trade a little speed for deeper reasoning.

Yes. Coding questions get clarifying questions, an approach, idiomatic code in your chosen language (12 are supported), complexity and edge cases. If the problem is on screen rather than spoken, Analyze Screen (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) reads it and answers.

By default the desktop app (main window, overlay and floating button) is excluded from screen shares, recordings and screenshots on Windows 10 (2004) or later and macOS. You can turn this off in Settings to have it captured like any other window. Only use it where it is allowed.

Rules differ by country, company and process. Always get consent before recording or transcribing others, and follow the policies of the interview or call you are in. Mock sessions are a great way to prepare without any of these concerns.
