Summon an AI that sees your screen, guides you through any task, or runs it entirely on its own — in the real apps on your Mac.
⌘⇧Space to summon · macOS 14+ · bring your own Anthropic key · v0.1
Real tasks, real Mac. No staged sandbox — everything happens in the actual apps.
cue sees your screen, highlights the exact target, and tells you the next step. you do it, hit Enter, repeat. every action is gated — nothing happens without you. here it walks through creating a GitHub personal access token in software you've never touched.
same visibility as coach, but cue executes each approved action for you. high-stakes steps — delete, send, pay — still ask first, no exceptions. everything else just happens.
one task, typed in plain english. cue goes to Amazon, filters by price, compares options, and surfaces a recommendation — fully in the background while you keep working.
two chained instructions. cue organizes the desktop, then on the second prompt reverses everything it moved. it knows what it did.
Pick how much control you keep. Switch modes mid-task. cue adapts to your workflow.
cue sees your screen and narrates the next step, highlighting the exact element to interact with. You execute. Press Enter to continue.
Same as Coach, but approved actions execute automatically. High-stakes actions — delete, send, pay — always require your explicit confirmation.
Fully headless. Task runs in the background while you keep working. Progress appears in a floating chip. Agents can spawn sub-agents for parallel work.
No setup friction. cue walks you through permissions on first launch.
Drag cue to Applications. On first launch, it walks you through granting Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions — both required for it to see and control your Mac.
cue uses your own key — stored securely in macOS Keychain. Your data never leaves your machine. Get a key at console.anthropic.com.
A floating pill appears. Type your task in plain English — "create a GitHub PAT", "set up an AWS IAM role", "export this table to CSV" — and pick your mode.
cue captures your screen, reasons about the next action, and either guides you or executes it directly. Every click, keystroke, and browser action happens in real-time, in the apps already open on your Mac.
Everything reachable without touching the mouse.
