FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01What is the best alternative to Claude Code with a web UI?+
Clearly is the best web-based alternative to Claude Code. While Claude Code is a powerful CLI-only tool that requires a terminal, Clearly offers a beautiful cloud workspace you can access from any device -- phone, tablet, or laptop. It combines voice-first interaction, a visual canvas, and persistent memory so your agent remembers context across every session.
02How is Clearly different from Cursor?+
Cursor is a local IDE with AI features, designed primarily for writing code on your machine. Clearly is a cloud-native AI agent with a visual workspace that handles far more than code -- creative work, project management, art generation, and voice-driven interaction. Clearly is always available from any device, while Cursor requires a local install and is limited to coding tasks.
03Can Clearly replace ChatGPT for productivity?+
Yes. Clearly goes beyond ChatGPT by offering persistent memory across sessions, a collaborative visual workspace, native vector art generation, and voice-first input. ChatGPT is a stateless chatbot that forgets context between conversations. Clearly is a cloud AI agent that remembers your projects, preferences, and history -- making it far more productive for ongoing work.
