Cue — original completed-closure notice, October 5 archive capture ↗ · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Sources and verification
- Shutdown
- The displayed October 5, 2013 date is an inferred observation proxy: it is the calendar day of an archived copy of Cue’s original notice confirming completed closure. It is not a verified actual service cutoff or original announcement day. The cutoff hour, time zone and exact announcement timestamp remain unknown. The notice covers the whole Cue service and discusses refunds for both web premium and iPhone purchasers. The product’s original homepage confirms independent iPhone and web entry points; its privacy policy explains algorithms that learned email patterns, and a direct co-founder interview describes self-learning entity extraction. The acquisition is separate context and is not used as evidence that closure occurred. The policy confirms United States headquarters but gives no city; the Cue brand is verified, while its precise registered legal-entity form remains unverified. The proxy uses the archive capture’s UTC calendar day. Data deletion is the operator’s statement, not an independent infrastructure audit. Closure source

- Launch
- A June 2012 co-founder interview and the August 2012 original product page establish the named Cue application. The precise first-launch day remains unverified. Greplin was its predecessor identity; this record covers the complete Cue personal-assistant service.
- Location
- United States. The original Cue privacy policy explicitly describes Cue as a United States-based service with offices headquartered in the United States. No city or coordinates are inferred. Location source
