ExtraBrain works like a private interview copilot on your Mac, following the live conversation and visible screen so you can answer faster, explain better, and recover when pressure spikes.
ExtraBrain has 1 current public platform family, macOS, with support for 2 Mac CPU families: Apple Silicon and Intel.
ExtraBrain has 3 configurable data paths to review before sensitive work: local Parakeet transcription, local Gemma 4 where installed and compatible, and external providers you choose.
An AI interview copilot is a real-time assistant that works alongside a candidate during interview preparation, live interviews, and debriefs. ExtraBrain captures the transcript and screen context, then helps with response outlines, technical explanations, clarifying questions, and follow-up review.
Prepare with profiles and notes, use live transcript and screen context during allowed sessions, then review the full interview afterward.
Ask for concise bullets, STAR outlines, technical tradeoffs, clarifying questions, edge cases, or follow-up questions to ask the interviewer.
ExtraBrain stays on your desktop instead of joining the call as a visible participant or recording bot.
Use one copilot across remote video calls, coding screens, whiteboards, terminals, browser editors, and written prompts.
Use a general interview profile or create custom profiles for coding, behavioral, product, data, system design, or company-specific rounds.
ExtraBrain transcribes the interview and follows visible context while you keep your attention on the conversation.
Get short answer outlines, technical structure, missed constraints, or follow-up prompts without switching into a generic chatbot workflow.
Review what happened, find weak moments, and reuse your own examples and lessons in later interviews.
Restate the prompt, identify the expected answer shape, and recover with a structured response plan.
Keep your reasoning organized while still showing the interviewer your actual thought process.
Track constraints, hints, edge cases, and tradeoffs while coding or designing under time pressure.
Generate concise follow-up questions, closing questions, and post-interview notes from the actual session.
Run ExtraBrain alongside Zoom calls with live transcription, screen-aware context, and a desktop window designed to stay hidden from screen sharing.
Use ExtraBrain during Google Meet interviews without adding a meeting bot or browser extension to the call.
Capture Teams interview audio and visible screen context from your Mac while keeping the workflow local to your desktop.
Follow live coding prompts, code, test output, and constraints in common browser-based technical interview tools.
A copilot helps you navigate the interview in context. An answer generator only drafts a response to a prompt.
ExtraBrain can follow context across meeting apps, editors, terminals, diagrams, and browser-based interview tools.
ExtraBrain does not need to enter the meeting, invite itself to the call, or expose a visible bot participant.
Use any live AI assistant only where interview, workplace, school, and platform rules allow it. Do not use generated answers to misrepresent your skills, experience, or authorship.
Competitor facts should be checked against these public pages before editing claims.
