What is Sidecue
Real-time AI cues for meetings and interviews. Works with Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams in Chrome. Here's the description reformatted with paragraph breaks. I'll output it as the rich-text-ready version you can paste directly into the CWS description field:

Click the Sidecue icon on any meeting tab, and a smart side panel opens alongside your call. Sidecue listens to the conversation, detects when you're being asked a question, and instantly generates a suggested response you can glance at while you speak.
