Introduction#

Power Interview is a privacy-first AI assistant that helps you perform confidently during live interviews, mock interviews, meetings, and business calls. It runs as a desktop application on your machine and combines real-time transcription, intelligent AI suggestions, and smart meeting export for Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and more - all designed to keep your data under your control.

What It Does#

Power Interview listens to your interview conversation, transcribes it in real time, and surfaces contextual suggestions so you can respond with clarity. For technical roles, it can analyze coding problems on your screen and generate solution. For behavioral rounds, it draws on your profile - your name, CV, and the job description - to generate personalized, natural-sounding responses.

You can connect your own LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) using API keys you control. Depending on your plan, a default model is also included so you can get started instantly.


Core Features#

Real-Time Transcription#

  • Dual-Channel: Your microphone captures your voice; system audio loopback captures the interviewer automatically
  • Streams transcription live via WebSocket with low latency
  • Each line is labeled by speaker (your name or "Interviewer") with a timestamp
  • Auto-scroll keeps up with new lines; a toggle lets you pause and scroll back

AI Reply Suggestions#

  • Generates interview answers personalized to your CV and job description
  • Streams suggestions in real time as the conversation progresses
  • Considers the full conversation context, not just the last question
  • Produces human-like responses based on your profile

AI Code Suggestions#

  • Captures one or multiple screenshots of your screen (up to 4) to read the problem
  • Sends the screenshots to an AI model that generates a suggested solution
  • Displays the result with syntax highlighting inside the app
  • All triggered without ever switching focus away from your interview window

Stealth Mode#

  • The Power Interview window is always hidden from screen capture and screen share - interviewers can never see it regardless of mode
  • Stealth mode keeps the window from receiving focus, so your keyboard and mouse stay locked on your coding challenge or video call
  • A minimal status bar shows running state, credit balance, and active hotkeys
  • A toggleable low-opacity overlay lets you glance at suggestions without switching focus
  • Entire workflow controllable by keyboard shortcuts - no mouse required, no lost focus

Smart Meeting Notes & Export#

  • After a meeting or interview session, export a complete AI-generated report as a Word document (.docx)
  • Report includes a summary, timestamped transcript with speaker labels, action items, follow-up notes, and any reply suggestions
  • Works across Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other meeting platforms, so you can capture notes for both individuals and enterprise workflows

Credits & Payments#

  • Credits are consumed while the assistant is running (AI suggestions and transcription)
  • Credit balance is displayed live inside the app
  • Buy credits directly from the Buy Credits page within the app, with payment history and status tracking

How It Is Built#

Power Interview consists of three layers running together on your machine:

LayerTechnologyPurpose
Desktop UIElectron + React + TypeScriptUser interface and configuration
Desktop RuntimeElectronUI, local audio capture, and system integration
Backend ServicesCloud (separate)AI/LLM inference and ASR processing

The desktop client communicates with local services and with cloud services over secure channels. Transcripts, screenshots, and profile data are sent to the backend only when you actively request a suggestion. Nothing is stored remotely in a persistent way.


Privacy at a Glance#

  • All credentials, session tokens, and profile data are stored locally using Electron Store
  • Your CV, job descriptions, and configurations never leave your device unless you explicitly trigger a suggestion
  • Transcripts are not stored on external servers after a session ends

What You Need#

Before getting started, ensure you have the following:

  • A Power Interview account (sign up at using the application)
  • A Windows or macOS machine
  • A working microphone and (optionally) webcam
