The Cluely alternative for live coaching built on your own experience
About Cluely
Category: Real-time AI meeting assistant
Key strength: Cluely gives fast, on-demand help during a call. Press a shortcut and it answers using the conversation and what is on your screen, in an overlay you can move. It also writes shareable meeting notes, works without joining the meeting and has a free starter plan.
Key limitation: Cluely positions itself as undetectable and sells hiding from screen sharing on its most expensive plan. If you want help you can be open about, that positioning may not fit. Its answers are driven by what you ask in the moment, and after the call its pages describe notes and recaps rather than behavioural analysis, follow-up drafts or commitment tracking.

Where auraScribe excels
- Coaching built on your own experience Live Coach works from what was said and from the documents you bring, such as your CV, your notes or account history. It never invents facts and never suggests a claim you cannot back up.
- Useful questions, not only answers Live Coach notices the point left open and suggests a useful question or a clearer way to answer, without waiting for a shortcut. You decide what to use.
- The work after the call Transcripts with speaker review, behavioural analysis, follow-up drafts, a commitment tracker and records of the people and companies you meet.
- Open by design There is no hidden mode. The meeting bot is a visible participant, and auraScribe's terms require the right or consent to record. Your data is hosted in the EU, in storage isolated per user.
Cluely may be a better fit
- Not an on-demand answer engine auraScribe does not read your screen, and it has no shortcut that answers questions. If you want instant answers about what is on screen, Cluely is built for that.
- Live coaching is a beta Live coaching is a beta with usage allowances. The 14-day trial includes 2 hours of it, and Pro+ includes it beyond that.
- No free plan After the 14-day trial, auraScribe is a paid subscription. Cluely offers a free starter plan with limited use.

Frequently asked questions
Is auraScribe a Cluely alternative?
Yes, if you want live help during conversations without a hidden mode. Live Coach suggests questions and helps shape answers from what was said and your own documents, and auraScribe handles notes, follow-ups and analysis after the call.
Is auraScribe undetectable?
No, and it is not designed to be. There is no mode that hides auraScribe from screen sharing. The meeting bot joins as a visible participant, and when you record on your own device, tell participants and follow the consent rules that apply.
Can I use live coaching in a job interview?
Live Coach can help you tell your own story more clearly, using your CV and the examples you prepared. It never invents experience, and an honest gap is stronger than a stretched answer. Check the interview's rules on AI assistance, and tell participants when you record.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The 14-day trial includes 2 hours of live coaching, and no credit card is required.
