AI interview copilot: live help on the call, practice before it
Rehearse with an AI mock interviewer that writes questions for your role and the job description you paste, scores every answer and shows you a stronger one. Then, in interviews and calls where AI assistance is allowed, Co-Help works as your AI interview copilot: it transcribes both sides and suggests answers on a private overlay for Windows and macOS, grounded in your resume and (if you connect it) your GitHub code. Try it free for 15 minutes, then pay from $10 per session, with no subscription.
What Co-Help does during a live interview
Co-Help runs next to your call app rather than inside it. It captures your computer's system audio, so it hears the interviewer through the same channel you do, and no bot or extra participant joins the meeting. It works with the desktop or browser versions of Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and with any other call app that plays through your speakers.
- Real-time transcription of both sides. What the interviewer says and what you say appear as text while the call happens, so you can reread a long or half-heard question.
- Question detection and suggested answers. When Co-Help hears a question, it drafts a suggested answer on the overlay. Answers come from Anthropic Claude with OpenAI GPT as automatic fallback. Pro uses fast, small models; on Pro Max, complex, technical and code questions go to the most advanced models.
- Session memory. Co-Help keeps track of the conversation so far, so a follow-up such as “why did you choose that?” is answered in context instead of from scratch.
- Screenshot Q&A (Pro Max). Capture a question, code snippet or diagram that's shared on screen and get an explanation on the overlay. Co-Help can also render architecture and flow diagrams.
Use it responsibly. You're responsible for following the rules of your employer, school, interviewer and any platform you use. Many allow AI tools; some don't, so check first.
AI answers can be wrong or incomplete. Review every suggestion before you rely on it.
Transcription and consent. Some places require every participant's consent before a call is transcribed. You're responsible for getting it.
Screen-capture protection
The overlay is a click-through window that asks your operating system to exclude it from screen capture, so it's kept out of the shared screen in typical Zoom, Teams & Meet shares while staying visible on your own display. That behavior depends on your OS version and settings, the meeting app, and any recording or proctoring software. Never assume the overlay can't be seen, and read the acceptable-use terms before a live session.
Grounded in your own experience
Generic AI answers sound generic. Before a session, Co-Help's setup wizard collects the material its suggestions should draw on, in two steps:
- Your profile. Your role, plus your resume or CV (upload a PDF, Word .docx or .txt file, or paste the text), which fills in an editable background summary. You can add extra documents such as certifications, portfolios or cover letters, save STAR stories in a story bank (situation, task, action, result, tags), and list your projects with their GitHub links.
- The opportunity. The company's website (paste the URL and Co-Help fetches the page), the role details or job description (paste them or upload a file), and notes such as the interviewer's name or the topics you expect.
During the call, behavioral questions can pull in a matching story from your story bank, and answers reference your real projects and background instead of an invented one.
GitHub-connected mode for project questions
Technical interviews often include “walk me through this project”. Connect GitHub in the setup wizard with a personal access token, sync your repositories, and turn on the GitHub toggle in the overlay. For each question, Co-Help retrieves the relevant source from your repos and grounds the answer in that code, citing it as project › folder › file › line so you can check it. A separate audience toggle switches answers between technical detail and plain language for non-technical panels.
Practice first, then live help where it's allowed
- Practice mode. Run a behavioral, coding or system design mock interview built from your role, seniority and the job description you paste. Answer by typing, by recording each answer, or out loud with a voice interviewer that reads each question and can ask a follow-up. Every answer gets a 1–10 score against a five-part rubric, specific feedback and a complete model answer. Practice is included with paid plans (unlimited on 30-day and yearly plans) and doesn't use up a live session. See AI mock interview practice for the full walkthrough.
- Live help, where it's allowed. In interviews and calls that permit AI assistance, Co-Help transcribes both sides and suggests answers on a private overlay, grounded in your resume, story bank and projects.
- Check the rules. Many employers, schools and testing platforms don't allow AI help. You're responsible for following them. Read the acceptable-use terms and Is it OK to use AI in an interview?
After a live session, Co-Help shows a session report with a summary, statistics and the full conversation log, which you can download as an HTML file. When the session ends, the conversation is deleted from the app; your saved resume and setup documents stay in your account.

Frequently asked questions
Is it allowed to use an AI interview copilot?
It depends on the employer and the platform. Some companies allow AI tools, some say nothing, and some prohibit outside help during interviews or assessments. You're responsible for following the rules of your employer, school, interviewer and any platform you use. Many allow AI tools; some don't, so check first.
Does the Co-Help overlay show up when I share my screen?
Usually not: it's kept out of the shared screen in typical Zoom, Teams & Meet shares. Co-Help asks your operating system to exclude the overlay from screen capture. Results depend on your OS version and settings, the meeting app, and any recording or proctoring software, so never assume the overlay can't be seen.
Does a bot join my interview call?
No. Co-Help is a desktop app that captures your computer's system audio, so nothing joins the meeting and there is no plugin to install inside Zoom, Teams or Meet.
Which AI models does Co-Help use?
Answers come from Anthropic Claude with OpenAI GPT as automatic fallback. Pro uses fast, small models; on Pro Max, quick questions go to a fast model and complex, technical and code questions go to the most advanced models. Speech-to-text runs on Groq Whisper with OpenAI as a fallback.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Start with a free 15-minute trial (no card). Then buy a single session ($10 Pro, $20 Pro Max) or a pack of 5 ($39 Pro, $75 Pro Max); these do not renew. For unlimited sessions, choose 30 days ($79 Pro, $150 Pro Max) or yearly ($349 Pro, $600 Pro Max).
