Descriptions you can use

One line

ExtraBrain is a free, local-first AI interview copilot for Mac and Windows.

Short

ExtraBrain is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that follows live interviews and meetings with transcription and screen-aware context, and helps structure answers with on-device AI or the AI provider you choose.

Long

ExtraBrain is a free, local-first desktop AI interview assistant and meeting copilot for Mac and Windows. It transcribes the conversation with local NVIDIA Parakeet or Deepgram, reads the code, prompts, or documents on screen, and helps structure clarifying questions, STAR answers, and technical tradeoffs for coding, system design, and behavioral rounds. AI runs on-device with Gemma or through the user's own OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Codex, or compatible provider. ExtraBrain runs on the user's computer instead of joining calls as a bot, and keeps a session history for review afterward.
