About Assistly
Assistly is a desktop application that integrates with live calls to provide real-time AI assistance. It transcribes conversations in dozens of languages, tracks every speaker, and delivers structured guidance in an overlay visible only to the user during the call. The tool connects to existing workflow tools like Google Calendar, Notion, and Linear to ground responses in prior context, ensuring personalized and relevant guidance. After the call ends, it automatically generates summaries, action items with owners, and project-specific notes without requiring manual input. Assistly works with common call platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Slack huddles, as well as phone calls, without requiring plugins or integrations. The overlay remains private and does not appear in screen shares or recordings, maintaining a seamless user experience. Guidance is tailored to the user’s tone and materials, and responses are streamed in real time to keep pace with live conversations.
