TalkPilot vs Cluely

Cluely's homepage calls it the number one undetectable AI for meetings, and its manifesto opens with "We want to cheat on everything." In a call, you click Ask or press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. Cluely reads the conversation and your screen, then gives an answer, a line to say, follow-up questions or a recap. Its help center has a whole section on hiding from screen shares, with a list of apps it hides from, including proctoring software.

TalkPilot is not built to cheat. It starts from what you want out of the conversation. Before the call you write a short brief, like "Pricing call with Acme, I want a yes on the annual plan", pick the kind of conversation, like Sales or Interview, and choose how much help you want: Standby stays quiet until you ask, Nudges gives a short direction after each turn, and Teleprompter gives the exact line to say. Help shows up when the other person stops talking, never while you speak, and short cues tell you to slow down or let them talk. Some modes and Teleprompter need Pro.

Both apps are visible on screen shares by default. In TalkPilot, hiding is an opt-in setting called Undetectable, included in Pro on Mac and Windows. Cluely sells it as its own, higher-priced plan. We don't build TalkPilot around hiding. The goal is a better conversation, and a better you after it.

General advice does not help much in a real conversation, so TalkPilot works from your own context. With Pro, add your docs, notes and slides as PDF, TXT or MD files, and the coach reads them before and during the call. Each call can have a short brief. TalkPilot can use your calendar details and, when connected, your HubSpot or Salesforce contact before the call. Memory keeps lessons from your past calls plus notes you write, and the live coach reads them. You can also paste what ChatGPT or Claude already knows about you into your profile.

Cluely's help center says you can add custom context and files, like a resume or a pitch deck, to a Mode, and that Cluely always uses what is on your screen. With TalkPilot Pro or Teams, you can also use TalkPilot inside Claude or ChatGPT to look through your calls and prepare for the next one.

Before an important call, you can rehearse with an AI that plays the other person, like an interviewer, a buyer or your boss. Then you get a score out of 100, what worked and what to work on. You can also redo a past conversation or rehearse a meeting from your calendar. We found no practice or roleplay on Cluely's site.

After the call, TalkPilot gives you a one-line takeaway, action items you approve before anything is sent, a follow-up email draft, the transcript and, when you want it, a Deep Dive on what went well and what to try next. Lessons go to Memory, so your coach keeps them for the next call. Cluely gives meeting notes, the transcript, drafted follow-up emails and an AI chat over your past meetings.

Cluely's pricing page shows Starter, Pro and Pro + Undetectability. There is no team plan on it, and we found no manager view, call scoring or CRM integration on its site.

TalkPilot Teams adds your company knowledge and brings the company playbook into each rep's call. The current stage shows on screen, with what is still left to cover. When a known objection comes up, the company's approved answer shows first. If a rep starts to say something a rule forbids, TalkPilot warns them.

After each call, the Command Center scores it against the playbook and sends low scores and rule breaks to a review queue. Managers leave coaching notes and assign practice. Team DNA studies transcripts of your best people and lets you add their flow, answers and phrases to the playbook. Teams has custom pricing for each team, from 3 users with no maximum, and every seat gets everything in Pro.
