GhostInterview is a desktop AI interview copilot for software engineers on macOS and Windows. It transcribes interview audio, reads screenshots of coding prompts, and shows hints and solution outlines for coding, system design, and object-oriented design rounds. You can add your resume, job description, notes, and knowledge files for context, then generate a debrief afterward. The free plan gives you 3 credits to test, and paid plans include 1,000 credits that reset monthly.

• Screenshot and Prompt Parsing: Capture a coding problem, table, or diagram and get a solution outline back. It works for LeetCode-style questions on platforms like HackerRank, CoderPad, CodeSignal, and Codility.
• Real-Time Voice Recognition: GhostInterview transcribes spoken questions and surfaces hints as the conversation moves. You can trigger answers yourself in Manual mode or turn on Auto mode, which responds when the latest interviewer turn looks like a question.
• Knowledge Bases: Upload TXT or Markdown files and pick which ones Ask AI can search. Answers can show the reference fragments used, alongside your resume and job description context.
• GhostInterview Duo: Invite your own helper to join through a browser. You choose what to share, and their suggestions show up as text, with optional audio playback on some setups.
• Interview Debrief: Generate feedback from a saved interview record, including preparation cards, communication suggestions, and next steps. It does not predict hiring decisions or grade individual technical answers.
• Screen-Share Overlay: Use a transparent, click-through desktop overlay designed to stay out of screen recordings and avoid taking focus on supported setups. Run the Baseline Check on your own system before relying on it.
• Company Interview Guides: Browse 50 company guides, including Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Netflix, with median total compensation figures.

• Built For Engineering Interviews: Coding, system design, and OOD rounds all have dedicated support, so you aren't adapting a general meeting assistant to technical questions.
• Personal Context: Your resume, job description, Quick Notes, and knowledge base files shape the answers, so suggestions match your background.
• Wide Platform Support: It covers the major video tools and coding environments, with written setup guides for Zoom, Teams, Meet, HackerRank, and CoderPad.
• Free Trial Without A Card: The free plan includes every feature with 3 credits, so you can check whether it fits your setup before paying.
• Lifetime Option: Besides a monthly subscription, you can pay once for permanent access that includes future updates.

• Narrow Focus: It's designed around software engineering interviews. If you're preparing for behavioral-only, sales, or other non-technical roles, broader interview tools may fit better.
• Results Depend on Your Setup: The vendor says behavior varies by screen-share path, platform, OS permissions, and updates, and asks you to test your exact configuration before relying on it.

• Mock Coding Rounds: Practice LeetCode-style problems on HackerRank or CoderPad and capture each prompt to compare your approach with an AI solution outline. You'll spot gaps in your problem-solving patterns faster.
• System Design Rehearsal: Run a practice session on a design question and use voice transcription to get hints as you talk through architecture choices. This helps you structure answers on scale, storage, and tradeoffs.
• Role-Specific Preparation: Load your resume, the target job description, and your own Markdown notes into a knowledge base. Answers then reflect the stack and experience the role asks for.
• Post-Session Review: End a practice interview and generate a debrief with preparation cards and next steps. You leave with a concrete list of topics to work on.
• Company Research: Read the company interview guides for firms like Google or Amazon to learn what each process looks like and what compensation to expect before you apply.
• Coached Practice with a Mentor: Use Duo to bring in a mentor or friend through their browser during a practice session. They can send suggestions in real time while you work through problems.
