Description
Assistly is a live meeting assistant designed for macOS and Windows, enhancing your live conversations with real-time guidance. Unlike traditional meeting bots, Assistly operates as a desktop overlay from your computer's audio, meaning it never joins the call, appears in participant lists, or announces itself. This allows it to work seamlessly alongside popular platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, and even ordinary phone calls, requiring no integration or bot invitation.

The tool provides answers and insights on your screen the moment a question is asked, or even as you think out loud, with auto-assist enabled by default. This guidance is displayed in a private overlay that is excluded from screen capture at the OS level, ensuring it never appears in screen shares or recordings. Assistly captures the call's full audio, not just your microphone, and separates individual voices to track multiple speakers, maintaining context even in busy group discussions.
Users can build a personalized persona using their CV, notes, and documents, allowing Assistly to tailor responses to their background, role, and speaking style, making the guidance sound natural and personalized. It supports dozens of languages, detecting the spoken language without setup and providing guidance in English, which is particularly helpful for non-native English speakers in professional settings. After each session, Assistly automatically generates an organized summary with key points and a clear list of action items, saved to your notes and synced to a session timeline.
Assistly also offers robust integration capabilities. It can connect with Google Calendar for read-only access, displaying upcoming meetings and enabling one-tap joining. For team collaboration, it integrates with Slack, posting session recaps, summaries, and action items to chosen channels. Enterprise plans extend this with shared team workspaces, shared projects, roles and permissions, single sign-on, and workspace-wide retention controls. Furthermore, Assistly runs an MCP server, allowing connection to AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex for read-only access to past calls, transcripts, and action items, enabling users to query their meeting history from within these external applications. Data security is paramount, with audio streams securely processed in the cloud, and users retaining control over data retention and deletion.
