AI That Anticipates Your Needs
- Cluely overlays a translucent pane that watches your screen and listens to meetings to predict helpful information in real time.

Surface Research During Meetings
- Use Cluely during meetings to surface background research so you appear prepped and knowledgeable instantly.
- Dump company docs into AI tools to feed live answers for customer support and sales reps instead of memorizing manuals.

- Preprocess multimodal inputs (images, audio, screenshots) into concise text tokens to improve model reasoning.
- Optimize context stitching so models can handle richer inputs efficiently rather than pasting raw images.
