Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m excited to launch Pluely, an ultra-light (~10 MB), open-source, always-on, always-invisible desktop AI companion. It sits as a translucent overlay on any window, ready for one-click activation, and runs entirely locally using your own API keys. No telemetry, no data leaks—just pure productivity.
Here’s what Pluely can do:

🎤 Microphone Audio Capture
• Instant voice-to-text with built-in VAD (Voice Activity Detection).
• Real-time transcription via Whisper, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Google STT, or custom STT.
