Cue AI (cueai.app) Explained: A Personal AI Planner That Turns What's in Your Head into a Daily Plan

Cue AI (cueai.app) is a personal AI planner app from ANUTECH PTY LTD of Australia. You throw it a text or voice brain dump, and it reads your existing tasks, calendar, and routines to draft a one-day plan with times and durations. It runs on Web, iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, and Apple Watch. Essential is free, Plus is $9.99 monthly, and Pro is $24.99 monthly (annual: $99.99 and $199.99). It is approval-based: a plan is not saved until you accept it. The app UI comes in 10 languages, and Japanese is not among them.

This article is based on the official site, the pricing page, the About page, the privacy policy, the store listings, and an official hands-on blog post, all as of October 14, 2026. Where the official sources are silent, we write 'not stated officially.' This is a different product from Cue, the personal agent app Manus announced on September 28, 2026, made by a different company. We covered the Manus one in the Manus Studio article.

Several products use the name Cue, and they are easy to confuse in search. Here is how they differ.

The official site headlines read "One AI assistant for work, study and family life" and "AI Planner, Notes & Tasks for Work and Life." The About page describes the team as "a small team building software we use ourselves every day." The basics are as follows.

According to the About page, Cue AI reads your existing tasks, calendar, and routines and turns your input into a plan with times, durations, and an order. The page says "the proposal is a draft: you accept it before anything is written to your list," so nothing reaches your task list until you accept it. About also states that it distinguishes between a proposal, a saved task, and an action taken outside the app, and that drafting an email is not the same as sending it. The official homepage section "A DAY WITH CUE" lays out a day like this.

According to the official site, Automations are recurring jobs you give Cue AI (briefs, reviews, monitors, and connected workflows). They run on a schedule and return results to Pulse. They are separate from Inbox Autopilot, and the number that can run at once is 3 on Plus and 10 on Pro. What it can read: calendar, tasks, notes, web sources, and connected tools. The official site lists 11 integrations (Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Slack, Google Chat, Notion, Linear, Todoist, Zoom, Reminders). How outward actions are handled depends on each Automation's control level: per the official FAQ, Check first holds outward actions for your review, and Automatic runs the whole approved workflow.

The official blog test (2026-09-09, a hands-on post by the Cue AI team itself) used Cue AI 1.6.4 in an iPhone simulator with an internal demo profile. The post states that paid-plan limits and results were not tested. The input was a bullet-style brain dump: a client proposal due Friday (pricing section and summary unfinished), a fixed 2:30 PM physiotherapy appointment (20 minutes each way), a car registration deadline, a call to a plumber, an email, a run, a flight to Lisbon, and five hours of focus time. What worked:

- It proposed 9 timed items (pricing section 90 minutes, summary 60, email 30, call 15, and so on; the durations are Cue AI's estimates)
- It automatically added a 20-minute "leave" block before the physiotherapy appointment
- Nothing was saved until "Add Tasks" was tapped (Auto off), and no email was sent and no flight was booked

The post itself states that three points needed correction.

- It also put the flight booking on the next day, and the user had to say "move it to Saturday" to fix it
- Thursday totaled 5 hours 50 minutes, and the results do not show how "five hours of focus" was interpreted
- After saving, a 9:00 to 10:30 work block overlapped an existing 9:30 stand-up. Cue AI showed "Tasks overlap," but why it missed the conflict is unknown

The blog itself lists cautions: AI estimates and priorities need human review, do not assume the connected calendar was consulted, and the proposed plan and the saved task list are separate stages. The approval step is what lets you catch such misses before anything is saved.

The pricing page is in US dollars with annual billing shown by default (store regional prices and taxes differ). Plus is $8.33 per month on annual billing ($99.99 a year) or $9.99 monthly. Pro is $16.67 per month on annual billing ($199.99 a year) or $24.99 monthly. Essential is free forever with no card required. Paid plans have a 7-day free trial (for Plus, where the store offers one). AI work is metered in usage units rather than per message, and shown under Settings → AI usage in the app. The main differences:

The in-app purchase names on the App Store are Plus Plan (Monthly) $9.99, Plus Plan (Annual) $99.99, Professional Plan (Monthly) $24.99, and Professional Plan (Annual) $199.99. The pricing page has a heading for family and team plans, but their contents and prices are not stated officially. The official note says "No set limit" means no individual cap, and that plan limits may change as the product changes.

The App Store's 1.7.0 release notes include Cue Inbox for Pro (a dedicated address that turns forwarded or CC'd emails into tasks, events, and replies). Mac and Windows have official pages (Mac and Windows), but the distribution method (store or direct download) and file size are not stated officially. For Mac, the App Store compatibility listing says macOS 12.0 or later. Apple Watch requires watchOS 10.0 or later. The UI covers the 10 languages above without Japanese, and how well Japanese input works is not stated officially, so you would need to try it yourself.

According to the privacy policy (last updated 2026-10-09), the operator is Anutech Pty Ltd (registered in Australia), reachable at privacy@cueai.app. No street address is given. The key points:

- AI processing subprocessors: Google Gemini API (some features), Baseten Model APIs (some inference paths; the zero-data-retention policy has exceptions), and GroqCloud (when the route selects Groq). The choice varies by feature and current routing
- OpenAI and Anthropic: not listed as subprocessors. They are involved only if the user connects ChatGPT / Codex / Claude, under their own terms
- Training use: the policy states Google user data is not used to train general AI/ML models. However, the purposes list includes "Improve our AI models and service quality," and whether non-Google data is used for training is not stated officially
- Storage: Google Cloud Firestore. The region is not stated officially. Transfers outside the EEA rely on standard contractual clauses
- Retention: raw health samples stay on the device only and are deleted automatically after 90 days. Health event summaries are kept in the cloud for 12 months. Tasks, notes, journals, and AI chat history are kept until the account is deleted
- Deletion: request it in the app under Settings → Account → Delete Account, or by email. It is processed within 45 days (up to 90), and backups are erased within 6 months. JSON export is available
- Google integration scopes: calendar view, create, edit, and delete. Gmail uses gmail.modify (read, compose, send, organize), but the policy says it does not auto-send, auto-delete, or permanently delete without in-app confirmation

The policy also says the ChatGPT, Codex, and Claude integrations do not cover clinical or health connections, bank connections, or payments. For uses involving customer information or internal documents, decide up front which data may go in. We cover how to draw that line in what to delegate to AI and what not to. Even for personal scheduling, connecting a calendar or email means other people's information enters the processing path, which is worth keeping in mind.

In positioning, it is a different line from always-on personal agents on phones and Macs (see our articles on Meta Muse and OpenAI dots): Cue AI is a planner app centered on building a day's plan and approving it.
