From choosing a coffee and planning a trip to organizing your day and helping you learn, Cue can be there to lend a hand. GIVE YOUR CUE AN IDENTITY Give your Cue its own email address, phone number, computer, and wallet. Within the permissions you set, it can communicate, use digital services, and complete purchases and payments with your approval. SCAN A QR CODE. LET CUE HELP YOU ORDER. At supported cafés, restaurants, and other locations, scan a business’s service QR code, such as one for ordering, to create a dedicated Cue for that service. Let it explore the menu, help you choose based on your tastes, and place an order. You confirm the payment. YOUR EVERYDAY HELPER From planning a trip to everyday shopping, Cue can help you take care of daily tasks. When you need a flight, a hotel, or everyday essentials, let Cue help you find and compare options, choose what works for you, and complete bookings, orders, and payments after you confirm. LET CUE USE YOUR APPS With your permission, Cue can connect to and use supported apps, including email, calendar, and messaging services. It can help organize travel details, plan everyday activities, and adjust your schedule when plans change. You can decide at any time which apps Cue can use and what permissions to grant. REMEMBER WHAT MATTERS Memory and Dream help Cue remember your food preferences, travel habits, learning progress, and the plans you want to stick with. When you return, it can pick up where you left off, without you having to explain everything again. AUTOMATE EVERYDAY ROUTINES Have Cue put together your daily agenda, help prepare a weekly shopping list, or watch for changes that matter to you. Automations can run on a schedule or respond to supported events and conditions. You decide what starts each workflow and what your Cue does next. Cue currently requires an invitation code.
