   On interview day

   Open Interview Sidekick and press Record before you join the call, and keep the overlay off the window you share.

Interview Sidekick runs alongside your normal meeting app — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or anything else. You don't join the interview through it. It listens to your computer's audio, transcribes the interviewer's questions, and suggests answers based on your resume and the job. For coding rounds it can read a screenshot of the problem instead.
