Cuena — Undetectable AI for meetings and your screen

What Cuena does

Four things, always one keystroke away.

It hears the room, answers about your screen, tells you what to say next, and remembers all of it, without ever getting in the way.

Listen

Real-time transcription

Live transcript with speaker labels and instant summaries in your language, so you can be present instead of scribbling notes.

Ask

Answers about your screen

Ask anything. Cuena sees your screen and the last minute of audio, then answers the question in front of you. No copy-paste, no tab-switching.

Magic

Knows what to say next

Zero input. Magic reads the whole conversation and your screen and proactively suggests the next line, answer or follow-up, before you have to ask.

Remember

Searchable local memory

Every session is saved to a private, searchable history on your Mac. Any name, number or decision is one search away, days later.

Ask & Magic

The answer, before they finish the question.

Two ways to get help. Ask when you have a question, type it and Cuena answers using your screen and the conversation. Magic when you do not, it reads the moment and proactively hands you the next move.

Profiles

One assistant, tuned to the moment.

Pick a profile and Cuena changes how it thinks: the structure of its answers, when to speak, and what to prioritize. Switch it in a click as the meeting changes.

Live co-pilot

The default. Answers questions as they come up and quietly defines the names, tools and terms flying past.

Interview coach

Structures answers into STAR, flags traps, and drafts follow-up questions to help you prepare and perform.

Sales co-pilot

Spots objections the second they land and hands you a tailored response tied to what was actually said.

Meeting assistant

Short, professional, ready-to-say lines: the exact words to keep a status update or discussion moving.

Presentation coach

Confident lines for pitches and live Q&A, backed by specifics, so you never freeze on the follow-up.

Screen solver

A clear, well-defined problem on screen, a formula, a bug, a diagram, solved fully with the working shown.

Listen

Perfect notes you didn't take.

Cuena writes the meeting down as it happens, who said what, the decisions, the follow-ups, then hands you a clean summary the moment the call ends. It captures system audio directly, so there's no bot to invite.

Invisible & private

Only you can see it. Only you can read it.

Cuena is a floating layer on your Mac, not a bot on the call, not a plugin in the meeting. It stays out of every recording and screen share, and your content never leaves your machine.

Invisible to screen share

Cuena's windows are excluded from screen capture and recordings at the OS level, a privacy shield for salary talks, medical calls and sensitive reviews.

No bots, no announcements

It captures system audio directly, so there is no "Cuena Notetaker" on the guest list and no "recording started" ping. Quiet, but your notes stay yours.

Follows your eyes

A frameless pill you drag anywhere and summon with one keystroke, so answers land exactly where you are looking. Never mid-screen, never in the way.

To be clear: the privacy shield protects your sensitive moments; it is not meant to deceive anyone. Cuena helps you work better, it is not a tool for cheating in interviews or exams.

Nothing leaves your Mac

With your own key or local models, audio and screen captures are processed on-device. In local mode it works on a plane.

Never trained on your content

Your transcripts and screens are never used to train any model, and never sold. Managed requests send only the minimum.

Your data, in a file you can open

History lives in a plain local database on your machine, not locked in someone else's cloud you can't inspect.

Your model, your bill

Bring your own AI. Or run it all locally.

Cuena is model-neutral. Use the managed credits on any plan, plug in your own provider key on Pro, or go fully offline with local Whisper and Ollama. No lock-in, no middleman on your data.

Questions, answered.

What's the difference between Ask and Magic?

Ask is for when you have a question, type it and Cuena answers using your screen and the recent conversation. Magic is zero-input, it reads the whole conversation and your screen and proactively suggests what to say or do next, no typing required.

Is it really invisible in screen sharing?

Yes. Cuena's windows are excluded from screen capture and recordings at the OS level, so they don't appear in a shared screen or a meeting recording. It's a privacy shield for your sensitive moments, not a tool to deceive the other side.

Does it join the meeting or show up as a participant?

No. Cuena never joins your call. It captures system audio directly on your Mac, so there is no bot on the guest list and no "recording started" announcement.

Is my data private?

With your own provider key or local models, your audio and screen content stay on your device. Managed mode sends only the minimum needed per request, and your content is never used to train models or sold. Your history lives in a local database file you can open yourself.

Which AI models can I use?

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini and Deepgram, or fully local Whisper and Ollama. Use managed credits, or bring your own key on Pro.

Do I have to pay? Which platforms are supported?

There is a free tier with monthly managed credits plus unlimited local Whisper. Pro is $15/mo. macOS today; a Windows version is coming soon.
