Editor's Verdict
Editor's VerdictAmie stands out by recording meetings without joining as a bot, just quietly listening to your computer audio and mic. This means you avoid the awkwardness or privacy flags of having a meeting bot visibly "in" the call. Amie then summarizes, creates tasks, and can even draft and send follow-up emails, all without interrupting the meeting flow.
Cluely, on the other hand, takes a more in-your-face approach by making itself an active participant in the call. Its main trick is suggesting questions and context based on what's said, trying to preemptively surface info. But at the end of the day, this is just a chat wrapper that recommends searches, not a deeply integrated note taker. The experience doesn't feel as polished, and it's more about being present in the call than quietly capturing and organizing everything for you.
If you want a solid, unobtrusive AI note taker that just gets the job done and doesn't make itself the center of attention, Amie is the clear pick. Cluely is more about live prompting and feels less refined as a pure note taker. Choose Amie if you care about hassle-free meeting capture without bots joining your calls.
