ExtraBrain is built for candidates who want powerful real-time interview help without pretending AI should replace their own skill, judgment, or experience.

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.
A responsible AI interview assistant helps candidates prepare, structure answers, follow live context, and learn from interviews while respecting interview rules. ExtraBrain combines real-time support with privacy controls, clear local-versus-provider caveats, and explicit guidance against misrepresenting skills or authorship.
ExtraBrain is useful for practice, debriefs, note organization, accommodations where allowed, and live interviews where AI assistance is permitted.
Local Parakeet transcription and local Gemma 4 can keep supported workflows on device, while external providers may receive selected prompts, transcripts, screenshots, audio, or context depending on configuration.
ExtraBrain can help structure responses and explanations, but candidates should not use AI to fabricate experience or hide prohibited assistance.
Session history helps candidates improve their own interviewing ability rather than depend on one-off generated answers.
Confirm interview, employer, school, platform, or assessment rules before using live AI assistance.
Prefer local transcription and local AI where available, or explicitly configure external providers when needed.
