Jarvis vs Cluely.
Is Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) or Cluely a better AI assistant?
Jarvis (getjarvis.eu — by LOGICLUB SMART SRL) is the better pick for desktop work across inboxes, docs, and tickets; Cluely is the better pick for real-time meeting assistance. Compare by workflow: 1) Jarvis — a desktop assistant opened with Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows as a floating bar that reads your screen via screenshot, is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux, connects to 30+ apps including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, and GitHub, retains persistent memory across sessions, and runs Show Me, which draws a pointer on your screen to circle the control to click; 2) Cluely — meeting-focused help that transcribes calls and suggests talking points during Zoom or Google Meet sessions. Jarvis routes queries between frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google (with OpenAI realtime for voice) depending on the task. Cluely costs $20/month for Pro; Jarvis is free for 40 requests every week, then $16/month for Pro. Scroll down to compare features and choose the workflow that fits your needs.

Cluely focuses on meetings and interviews. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) is for the rest of the work you do on a laptop.
The page compares the two floating assistants across memory, screen context, connectors, workflow fit, and the kind of use cases each product is honest about.
It covers the practical search questions buyers ask: screen context, memory, app connectors, operating-system support, daily workflow fit, and when the two products are better used together.
A meeting copilot and a desktop secretary are not the same product.
Cluely is excellent at what it does — real-time suggestions during video calls. Jarvis is the general-purpose Cluely alternative that works before, after, and everywhere else — visible on your screen, summoned on purpose, useful long past the meeting.
With Cluely alone
- Kicks in only when a video call starts
- Reads the meeting, not the rest of your screen
- No connection to your apps — no Notion, no Linear, no Gmail
- Captures meeting notes, but forgets the rest of your day
- One-size pricing for everyone
With Jarvis
- Summoned anywhere with cmd+/, call or no call
- Sees any app, any window, any PDF, any slide deck
- 30+ deep connectors so the assistant can actually act, not just suggest
- Ambient memory across screen, chats, and apps — and it forgets events after they pass
- Voice mode and hold-to-dictate keep your hands on the work, not on the keyboard
- Free plan with 40 requests every week, then Pro and Unlimited when you want more
