The open-source Cluely clone that runs your interview on your own GPU

What it does

An Electron desktop app (TypeScript, React 19) that listens to whatever call audio your computer is playing — Zoom, Meet, Teams, Discord, anything — plus your own microphone, transcribes both streams separately on-device, and shows an overlay with a suggested answer the moment a question lands. It also reads your screen for coding tasks, generates meeting reports, and saves plain-text transcripts to Documents/Meetingly. Answers come from a hosted free plan (50/day) or your own OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Ollama endpoint, in which case nothing passes through the vendor’s servers.

The interesting bit

The transcription pipeline is genuinely thoughtful: NVIDIA Nemotron does the live first pass in 28 languages, then a second model (Parakeet Ultra for European languages, Qwen3-ASR for CJK) rewrites each finished sentence for accuracy. That two-stage local ASR setup is more engineering than most “Cluely alternative” projects bother with. The relay service behind the paid tiers is also in the repo, so the whole stack is inspectable.

Key highlights

• On-device speech recognition in 28 languages; optional cloud transcription via Deepgram on the top tier only
• Bring-your-own-key mode works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including fully local Ollama — no account, no limits
• Overlay is hidden from screen sharing via OS-level protection on Windows and macOS (Linux gets no such guarantee)
• You/Them audio streams transcribed separately, so the transcript reads like a chat log
• Apache-2.0, with the paid-plan relay service included in the codebase

Caveats

• Let’s be honest about what this is: a tool for getting answers during interviews while staying invisible to screen share. The README markets it for “job interviews” and LeetCode screens without blinking. Whether that’s a copilot or cheating depends entirely on the disclosure situation — many employers would call it the latter.
• Installers aren’t code-signed, so expect SmartScreen and Gatekeeper friction on first launch.
• Screen-share hiding is explicitly imperfect: “some capture methods can still include the window,” and Linux has no protection at all.

Verdict

As a local-meeting-transcription and summarization tool with a solid ASR pipeline, it’s worth a look — especially the own-key, fully-offline mode. As an interview-cheating device, it works, but that’s between you and your prospective employer’s terms of service.
