Littlebird and Cluely both help during a live call, but their scope differs. Cluely is a real-time, in-meeting assistant built for performance in the call itself. The alternative helps during meetings through Hummingbird while it transcribes, and everywhere else too, because it pays attention to the active window you're working in and keeps a running memory of the whole workday.
Your work doesn’t just happen in meetings
Quick Access works while Littlebird is transcribing, so you can ask questions and get answers without switching apps.
Littlebird builds a running memory of your work, so the context you need is always there when you need it.
Double-tap Option from any app and Littlebird appears over whatever you're working on, ready to help.

Neither adds a visible participant to your call. Both work alongside the meeting rather than joining it, and Hummingbird can help mid-conversation while the transcription runs. The real difference is scope rather than mechanics: one is built for the live call, the other also keeps the context from everything around it.
The app pays attention to the active window you're working in, and listens during meetings to transcribe and summarize them. You decide what stays out of view: pause context collection, exclude specific apps and website domains, or delete your data at any time. Password fields are always ignored, and password managers like 1Password are auto-excluded by default.
No. It works automatically by paying attention to your screen, so there is nothing to wire up before it is useful. Integrations are optional and exist for deeper access: connecting Google Calendar helps with scheduling, for example. That is the practical difference from a tool that only knows what you typed into it.
The Basic plan is $0 and includes full context from day one, with limited daily chats, limited active routines, and limited meeting notes. Plus is $17 per month billed annually, or $20 billed monthly, and adds unlimited meeting notes plus enhanced memory. Power is $42 per month with an annual subscription. Pro starts from $100 per month. Actively enrolled students pay $15 per month with a .edu email.
Yes. The Basic plan is free at $0 with full context from day one, so you can run it against real work before paying anything. Plus adds a 14-day free trial on top of that if you want the paid capabilities first. Actively enrolled students get their first two months free and then pay $15 per month with a .edu email.
Mac and Windows, plus iOS and Android companion apps for asking questions away from your desk. The desktop app is the core product, because that is where the active window and your meetings are. The mobile apps read the context already collected on your desktop rather than capturing anything from the phone itself.
The app runs on your computer, and the memory it builds is encrypted and stored in the AWS cloud, US East. Littlebird is SOC 2 certified, with GDPR-aligned and CCPA-aligned data handling, and neither the company nor its underlying model providers train on your work. You can delete everything at any time. Teams that need local-only systems can self-host at the Enterprise tier.
