# Pluely

> Pluely is an invisible desktop AI assistant for macOS, Windows and Linux. It lives in an always-on-top overlay that is hidden from screen shares and recordings, reads what is on your screen, and transcribes live conversations so it can answer for you during interviews, meetings, sales calls and lectures. No bot joins the call.
