I built InvisiBrain β€” a free, open-source alternative to Cluely and Parakeet AI

Hey everyone,

I built InvisiBrain, a free and open-source desktop AI assistant that runs completely invisibly β€” perfect for meetings, note-taking, or research without cluttering your screen.

Features:

🧠 Gemini API for fast, context-aware responses

πŸŽ™οΈ Vosk AI for offline transcription (privacy-first)

πŸͺΆ Runs stealthily in background (shows as Google Chrome in Task Manager πŸ‘€)

πŸ’» Built with Electron β€” lightweight & cross-platform

πŸ” Just drop your Gemini API key in .env and run

Why:
Most AI assistants are paywalled or cloud-dependent. InvisiBrain is private, minimal, and hackable, made for developers who value control.

πŸ“¦ Download (Windows): https://github.com/shubhamshnd/Open-Cluely/releases/tag/Stable

TL;DR:
Invisible, private AI assistant β€” Gemini + Vosk, runs locally, open-source, no clutter.
