How ExtraBrain helps

Coding capture

ExtraBrain reads the visible code with screen-aware context and transcribes the discussion so you can focus on reasoning, not note-taking.

Systems review

Save operating systems and C++ discussions to local session history to find gaps in synchronization and concurrency knowledge.

Design rehearsal

Record infrastructure design discussions with live transcription and revisit tradeoffs on latency and failover afterward.

Responsible use

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.
