Pluely is an open-source alternative to all stealth AI products/companies, and Pluely is your go-to AI companion that lives silently on your desktop as a translucent overlay—always on display, one click away. At just ~10 MB, it’s ultra-lightweight (27× smaller than Cluely), uses 50% less compute power, and launches in < 100 ms. Pluely stays on top of any window without intrusion, overlaps seamlessly with your workflow, and requires zero configuration—just your API keys and you’re ready to summon AI insights, summaries, translations, and more in an instant.

Core Features: System Audio Capture: Transcribe any audio—Zoom calls, YouTube videos, podcasts, music, game commentary—in real time. Cross-platform support via BlackHole (macOS), Stereo Mix/VB-Cable (Windows), and PulseAudio monitors (Linux).

True Invisibility: No dock or taskbar icon. Always-on-top overlay with passthrough clicks. Global shortcuts for quick toggle and voice input. Undetectable in screen shares, recordings, and live streams.

Universal Provider System: Paste any cURL command; Pluely auto-parses it for full support of OpenAI-compatible or custom LLM/STT APIs, including Ollama, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Whisper, Deepgram, and more.

Local-First & Lightweight: Built with Tauri for native speed—just ~10 MB, launches in < 100 ms, uses 80% fewer resources than Electron alternatives. Runs entirely with your API keys; zero telemetry.

Why Pluely Exists: Existing “invisible” AI assistants are either heavy, closed-source, or require cloud backdoors. I built Pluely to be truly stealthy, privacy-first, and fully extensible—so you control your data and your AI.
