**Natively – Open Source AI Meeting Assistant & Cluely Alternative** --- > **Natively** is a **free, privacy-first AI Copilot** for **Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams**. It serves as an open-source alternative to Cluely, providing **real-time transcription**, **interview assistance**, and **automated meeting notes** completely locally. Unlike cloud-only tools, Natively uses **Local RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)** to remember past conversations, giving you instant answers during **technical interviews**, **sales calls**, and **daily standups**. --- Support Natively The community around **Natively** created a Pump.fun token to support the project. Creator rewards help cover **AI/API bills** and ongoing development costs. Why Natively? While other tools focus on being "lightweight" wrappers, Natively is a complete intelligence system. • **Local Vector Database (RAG):** We embed your meetings locally so you can ask, "What did John say about the API last week?" • **Rich Dashboard:** A full UI to manage, search, and export your history—not just a floating window. • **Rolling Context:** We don't just transcribe; we maintain a "memory window" of the conversation for smarter answers. --- Demo This demo shows **a complete live meeting scenario**: • Real-time transcription as the meeting happens • Rolling context awareness across multiple speakers • Screenshot analysis of shared slides • Instant generation of what to say next • Follow-up questions and concise responses • All happening live, without recording or post-processing --- Download Natively _The privacy-first AI assistant for meetings._ Requires macOS 12+ or Windows 10/11 > [!NOTE] > **macOS Users:** > > 1. **"Unidentified Developer"**: If you see this, Right-click the app > Select **Open** > Click **Open**. > 2. **"App is Damaged"**: If you see this, run the command in Terminal based on your download: > > **For .zip downloads:** > > > > **For .dmg downloads:** > 1.

Open Terminal and run: What's New in v2.0.5 Version 2.0.5 delivers major reliability fixes to Stealth Mode and Process Disguise. • **Eliminated Feedback Loops**: Completely eliminated the bug where toggling Undetectable mode would sometimes cause the app to rapidly toggle itself on and off due to React state feedback. • **Process Disguise Reliability**: Fixed a regression where the macOS dock icon would mysteriously reappear several seconds after entering stealth mode if a disguise had recently been applied. • **Disabled Interaction in Stealth**: The Process Disguise selector is now visually disabled and locked while Undetectable mode is active, preventing accidental state mismatches. • **Settings Init Fix**: Fixed an issue where the Settings UI would briefly show incorrect stealth/disguise toggle states when first opened. • **Hardened Background Activation**: The app is now protected against macOS events (like clicking the app in Finder) accidentally breaking stealth mode and re-showing the dock icon. --- Table of Contents • Why Natively? • Privacy & Security • Quick Start (End Users) • Installation (Developers) • AI Providers • Key Features • Meeting Intelligence Dashboard • Use Cases • Comparison • FAQ • Architecture Overview • Technical Details • Known Limitations • Responsible Use • Contributing • License --- What Is Natively? **Natively** is a **desktop AI assistant for live situations**: • Meetings • Interviews • Presentations • Classes • Professional conversations It provides: • Live answers • Rolling conversational context • Screenshot and document understanding • Real-time speech-to-text • Instant suggestions for what to say next All while remaining **invisible, fast, and privacy-first**. --- Privacy & Security (Core Design Principle) • 100% open source (AGPL-3.0) • Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) • Local AI option (Ollama) • All data stored locally • No telemetry • No tracking • No hidden uploads You explicitly control: • What runs locally • What uses cloud AI • Which providers are enabled --- Installation (Developers & Contributors) Prerequisites • Node.js (v20+ recommended) • Git • Rust (required for native audio capture) AI Credentials & Speech Providers **Natively is 100% free to use with your own keys.** Connect **any** speech provider and **any** LLM.
