An AI interview assistant helps candidates understand live questions, organize answers, follow technical context, and review performance after the call. ExtraBrain is built for real-time interview support on Mac with live transcription, visible screen context, answer outlines, local-first privacy options, and bring-your-own AI providers.
ExtraBrain follows the conversation as it happens and can suggest answer structure, clarifying questions, examples, tradeoffs, and follow-up points.
Instead of relying only on audio, ExtraBrain can read visible prompts, code, diagrams, docs, resumes, job descriptions, and browser-based interview tools.
ExtraBrain runs as a desktop app, does not join the meeting as a bot, and supports local transcription and local AI options where installed and compatible.
Use the same assistant before the interview, during allowed live sessions, and afterward to review transcripts, missed signals, and better answers.
Install the desktop app, grant the required audio and screen permissions, and choose local or provider-based AI settings.
Open ExtraBrain alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal, or your normal interview workspace.
Use the live transcript and screen context to understand the question, plan your answer, explain tradeoffs, and avoid blanking.
Save the session, revisit the transcript, identify weak answers, and turn each interview into better preparation for the next round.
Structure STAR answers, remember relevant examples, and prepare concise follow-ups from the live question.
Track problem statements, constraints, code, tests, complexity, and interviewer hints without losing the conversation.
Capture requirements, architecture choices, scale assumptions, tradeoffs, and open questions as the design evolves.
Organize product sense, metrics, estimation, SQL, statistics, ML, and case-study prompts with live context.
Run ExtraBrain alongside Zoom calls with live transcription, screen-aware context, and a desktop window designed to stay hidden from screen sharing.
