Pluely

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m excited to launch Pluely, an ultra-light (~10 MB), open-source, always-on, always-invisible desktop AI companion. It sits as a translucent overlay on any window, ready for one-click activation, and runs entirely locally using your own API keys. No telemetry, no data leaks—just pure productivity.

Here’s what Pluely can do:

🔑 Key Features:

🎧 System Audio Capture

• Transcribe any sound on your computer in real time—Zoom, YouTube, podcasts, games.

• Works across macOS (BlackHole), Windows (Stereo Mix / VB-Cable), Linux (PulseAudio).

• Background speech detection + contextual AI responses.

🎤 Microphone Audio Capture

• Instant voice-to-text with built-in VAD (Voice Activity Detection).

• Real-time transcription via Whisper, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Google STT, or custom STT.

• No setup—just hit the shortcut and start speaking.

📸 Screenshot Capture & Analysis

• Manual Mode: Capture multiple screenshots with custom prompts.

• Auto Mode: Auto-send screenshots with saved prompts for instant analysis.

• Global shortcut: Cmd+Shift+S / Ctrl+Shift+S.

🪄 True Invisibility

• Always-on-top overlay that passes clicks through when inactive.

• Uses 80% fewer resources than Cluely.

• Fully local with your own API keys—no vendor lock-in.
