Hey HN!

I'm thrilled to introduce Pluely v0.1.2, my open-source alternative to Cluely, a Tauri-powered AI assistant that sits silently on your desktop. Pluely delivers real-time AI insights during meetings, coding sessions, or presentations: completely stealthy and lightweight (just ~10 MB).

What's new in v0.1.2? Automatic Screenshot Mode: Pluely analyzes images with one click on the toolbar and gives you information based on your auto screenshot custom prompt.

Manual Screenshot Mode: Hit the toolbar button to capture multiple images and type your own prompt to give you solutions, analyze, or explain code.

Expanded STT & Custom Providers: Choose built-in STT options like Whisper, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, or plug in your own custom STT provider.

More AI Providers: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity are pre-configured. You can also easily add local or custom LLMs via the add custom provider interface on settings.

Why Pluely? Ultra-lightweight: ~10 MB vs. 270 MB for Electron apps like Cluely 100% stealth mode: translucent overlay, undetectable in screen shares and recordings One-click activation: Always-On, One Click Away: Sits quietly on your desktop for instant assistance with zero setup time Privacy-first: all processing stays local (except your chosen LLM calls) Cross-platform: native performance on macOS, Windows, and Linux

Future Developments(Continuously working to enhance Pluely with these highly requested features): * System Audio Capture: Capture and transcribe audio from your computer applications, meetings, and system sounds * Global Shortcuts: Customizable keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + /) for quick show/hide functionality
