Machine-readable plan list: https://solvro.in/pricing.md ## Homepage FAQ ### What is Solvro and how does it work? Solvro is an AI assistant for interviews and online assessments. It runs in the background during live interviews or coding tests, reading your screen and system audio to provide real-time answers and coding solutions. ### How does Solvro stay hidden during a screen share? Solvro runs as a desktop overlay outside your browser. It sets the Windows content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a Zoom, Meet or Teams share. Because it is not part of the web page, page-level proctoring scripts do not see it. We cannot guarantee behaviour against every proctoring product, and some monitored environments prohibit third-party software regardless of visibility. ### Which platforms and websites does Solvro support? Solvro is a native desktop application that works alongside all major video conferencing and coding assessment platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, HackerRank, LeetCode, CoderPad and more. Ultimate Solvro also works inside locked-down environments such as Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and proctored assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. ### Does Solvro work inside Safe Exam Browser and HackerRank Desktop? Yes. Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop detect and shut down other interview tools. Ultimate Solvro operates at a deeper system level and continues running inside these environments and through assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. No other interview tool offers this capability. ### What are the two ways to install Solvro? You can download the .exe (Windows) or macOS app for a permanent installation on your own computer — it stays on your machine as long as you want it. Alternatively, your dashboard generates a unique PowerShell command that installs Solvro silently on any computer, logs you in automatically and launches at low opacity. This temporary install removes itself and all traces the moment you quit the app, or automatically after three hours. ### Can Solvro write code for me during a technical interview? Yes. Solvro can interpret algorithm problems and provide hints, pseudo-code, or complete solutions in over 10 programming languages in real time. As with any AI model, output should be reviewed rather than trusted blindly. ### Does Solvro listen to the interviewer's voice? Yes. Solvro can capture system audio to transcribe the interviewer's questions and suggest answers in real time, using your resume and the job description for context. ### What AI models power Solvro's answers? Solvro runs on Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. You can switch between them in the app and pick the model best suited for speed, reasoning, or depth. ### What are the risks of using Solvro in a monitored interview? Solvro is designed to stay out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed. Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside assistance in their terms, and using it in a monitored setting can lead to withdrawal of an offer or disqualification. Decide for yourself whether that risk is one you want to take. ### Can I talk to customer support? For any issue, contact our email support@solvro.in. --- # Eight free AI interview tools, and what each one is for URL: https://solvro.in/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 "Free AI interview assistant" covers two very different kinds of tool. Most are practice apps you use the week before. A few work during the interview itself. Here are eight worth trying, sorted by which job they actually do. Before you pick one, decide which problem you are solving. If you want to rehearse answers and hear feedback, a mock-interview tool is the right shape. If you want help while the real interview is happening, you need a tool that listens to the call or reads your screen and answers in seconds. Very few free tools do the second. | Tool | Best for | Works during a live interview | Free tier | |---|---|---|---| | Solvro | Live interviews and coding tests | Yes | 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes | | Google Interview Warmup | Quick question practice | No | Free, discontinued April 2026 | | Huru | Practice on your phone | No | Limited mock sessions | | Pramp (Exponent) | Peer mock interviews | No | Daily practice allowance | | Interviews.Chat | Copilot plus prep | Yes | 30 credits, no card | | Interviewing.io | Anonymous technical mocks | No | Free AI warm-ups | | Interviewsby.ai | Role-specific rehearsal | No | Basic rehearsals | | ChatGPT (free) | Conversational practice | No | Free, with limits | ## Solvro: a free trial of real-time help Solvro is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS that answers while the interview is happening. In Interview mode it transcribes the call's system audio and returns a structured answer within seconds, drawing on the resume and job description you added in Settings. In Coding Test mode you capture the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S, send it with Ctrl+Enter, and get a working solution in the language you chose. *Video: Interview mode: the question is transcribed as it is asked and the answer appears beside it.* Every new account gets **10 free AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode**, with no card required. That is enough to run a full practice session with a friend on Zoom or Google Meet, or to try two or three LeetCode problems end to end, and decide whether it fits before you pay. - **Good for:** live video interviews, online assessments, multiple-choice tests and anything on screen you want explained. - **Limits:** the free trial is a trial, not an ongoing free plan. Paid plans start at $39 a month, or $29 once for a 7-day pass. - **Ultimate Solvro:** the only free-trial assistant that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. - **Platforms:** it runs as its own window outside the browser, alongside Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, HackerRank, LeetCode and CoderPad. **Try the free trial.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes. No card. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Google Interview Warmup ![Google Interview Warmup homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/google-interview-warmup.webp) *Google Interview Warmup, before it was retired.* Google retired Interview Warmup in April 2026, so it no longer takes new practice sessions. It is still worth knowing what it did well, because several tools copy the format. It needed no account: you picked a field such as data analytics, IT support or UX design, answered questions out loud or by typing, and it transcribed your answer and pointed out patterns, like job-specific terms you used or phrases you repeated. - **Strengths:** no sign-up, nothing stored, field-specific questions. - **Weaknesses:** a fixed list of fields, fairly basic questions, and no help during a real interview. ## Huru ![Huru homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/huru.webp) *Huru markets itself as AI video interview prep.* Huru is a mobile-first practice app. You record answers to mock questions on your phone and get feedback on content and delivery. Because it lives on your phone, it suits practising in short bursts, on a commute or between meetings. - **Strengths:** a proper mobile app, feedback on strengths and weak spots. - **Weaknesses:** the free version caps the number of sessions. ## Pramp (now on Exponent) ![Pramp homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/pramp.webp) *New Pramp sessions are now hosted on Exponent Practice.* Pramp built its name on free peer mock interviews: two candidates take turns interviewing each other on coding or system design problems. New sessions now run on Exponent Practice. It is one of the better free ways to practise explaining your reasoning out loud, which is the part of technical interviews that most people under-rehearse. - **Strengths:** feels like a real interview, good for technical roles, free daily practice. - **Weaknesses:** a daily cap on sessions, and the quality depends on your partner. ## Interviews.Chat ![Interviews.Chat homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/interviews-chat.webp) *Interviews.Chat offers an interview copilot and prep tools.* Interviews.Chat offers 30 free credits with no card, which you can spend on its interview copilot or its prep features. It covers coding and behavioural questions and includes resume and cover letter helpers. It is one of the few free options that also works in real time; the catch is that the credits run out quickly. See our [Interviews.Chat comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/interviews-chat-alternative) for how it stacks up against Solvro. - **Strengths:** live copilot plus prep, several languages, resume helpers. - **Weaknesses:** trial credits go fast. ## Interviewing.io ![Interviewing.io homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/interviewing-io.webp) *Interviewing.io focuses on anonymous technical mock interviews.* Interviewing.io is known for anonymous mock interviews with engineers from large tech companies. The free part is a set of AI warm-ups; the human mocks are paid or eligibility-based. Recordings and written feedback make it easy to see exactly where an answer went wrong. - **Strengths:** anonymous practice, recordings and detailed feedback. - **Weaknesses:** the best features are paid or limited by eligibility. ## Interviewsby.ai ![Interviewsby.ai homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/free-ai-interview-assistant/interviewsby-ai.webp) *Interviewsby.ai turns a job description into practice questions.* Interviewsby.ai turns a job description into a set of practice questions, times your answers and gives feedback. Basic rehearsals are free. It is useful for reducing nerves through repetition on the exact role you applied for. - **Strengths:** questions built from the job description, realistic timing. - **Weaknesses:** deeper analytics are paid. ## ChatGPT's free tier A general chatbot is a surprisingly good practice partner. Paste the job description, ask it to interview you one question at a time, and ask for feedback after each answer. Voice mode makes it feel closer to a real conversation. What it lacks is structure: it will not track your weak spots across sessions, and it cannot help during a live call or a proctored test. ## Can a free AI interview assistant work in real time? Some can, but most free tools are built for preparation. A real-time assistant has to do three things a practice app does not: capture the live audio or the problem on screen, answer within a few seconds, and stay out of the way of the call you are on. When you test any tool, check: 1. **Input.** Does it hear the interviewer (system audio), read the screen, or only take typed questions? 2. **Speed.** Does an answer arrive before the silence becomes awkward? 3. **Context.** Can it use your resume and the job description, so answers sound like your experience? 4. **Fit with the call.** Does it run outside the browser, and does it stay out of the screen share? Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Which free tool should you pick? Use a practice tool such as Pramp or Interviewing.io to build the skill, and a free trial of a real-time assistant to see whether live help suits you. If you want to try live help, [start Solvro free](https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup): ten answers and ten minutes of Interview mode are enough to find out. For a deeper look at paid options, read our guide to the [best real-time AI interview assistants](https://solvro.in/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Solvro free? Every new account gets 10 free AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode, with no card required. After that, paid plans start at $39 a month, or $29 once for a 7-day Sprint Pass. ### Which free AI interview tools work during a live interview? Most free tools are for practice only. Solvro (through its free trial) and Interviews.Chat (through its free credits) can help during a live interview; Google Interview Warmup, Huru, Pramp, Interviewing.io and Interviewsby.ai are practice tools. ### Is Google Interview Warmup still available? No. Google discontinued Interview Warmup in April 2026, so it no longer accepts new practice sessions. ### Can I use ChatGPT as a free interview assistant? ChatGPT is a good free practice partner: ask it to interview you on a job description and give feedback. It does not listen to a live call or read a coding test from your screen, so it is not a real-time assistant. --- # The best real-time AI interview assistants in 2026 URL: https://solvro.in/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 A real-time interview assistant listens to the interviewer and puts an answer in front of you while the question is still hanging in the air. Five tools lead the category. Here is how they differ, and which kind of candidate each one suits. Real-time assistants come in three shapes. **Web apps** run in a browser tab, which is simple to start but awkward the moment you are asked to share your screen. **Mobile apps** sidestep the screen, but you end up glancing down at a phone. **Desktop apps** run as their own window beside the call, which is why most serious tools now ship one. ## What makes a good real-time assistant | Quality | Why it matters | |---|---| | Automatic question detection | You should not have to click anything while someone is talking to you. | | Speed | An answer that arrives after the pause has become awkward is no answer at all. | | Structured answers | Frameworks such as STAR keep a behavioural answer easy to follow while you speak. | | Personal context | Your resume and the job description turn a generic answer into your own story. | | Staying out of the way | A desktop window you can move, fade and control from the keyboard keeps your focus on the call. | Here is the short version: 1. **Solvro:** best for candidates who face both live interviews and coding tests. 2. **Parakeet AI:** a fast desktop assistant with credit-based pricing. 3. **Final Round AI:** a large prep platform with a desktop copilot. 4. **LockedIn AI:** a feature-rich copilot on the web, in Chrome and on the desktop. 5. **Cluely:** a general meeting assistant with interview features. ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS with four modes: **Interview**, **Coding Test**, **MCQ** and **Query**. Interview mode transcribes the call's system audio as the interviewer speaks, detects the question, and returns a structured answer within seconds. Coding Test mode reads the problem from a screenshot instead, so the same app covers the technical round. *Video: Interview mode answering a question the moment it is asked.* - **Personal context:** add your resume, the job description and your own instructions in Settings. Answers draw on them, so they sound like your experience. - **Models:** switch between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 from inside the app. - **Control:** every action has a shortcut you can reassign. Ctrl+Space hides the window, Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[ change its opacity, and the arrow shortcuts move it. - **Out of the share:** Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it runs outside the browser. - **Ultimate Solvro:** the only assistant that works inside locked-down browsers and proctored environments, including Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. Other tools are blocked by these environments. - **Price:** Unlimited Interview mode is part of Pro, at $39 for one month or $29 a month paid once for three months. A $29 Sprint Pass covers a single interview week. **Hear it answer a real question.** Every account starts with 10 minutes of Interview mode, free. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup.

Parakeet AI ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI positions itself as a real-time interview assistant.* Parakeet AI is a desktop application, so it runs outside the browser and can stay out of a screen share. Question detection and answer generation are both quick. Turn on **Auto Generate AI Response** and it answers every question it detects; turn it off and it only answers when you click **AI Help**. ![Parakeet AI answering a behavioural question](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/parakeet-ai-answer.webp) *Parakeet AI's answer window during a mock question.* - **Controls:** everything is done with the mouse; there are no global hotkeys. - **Personal context:** upload a resume and job description, pick the interview language, and add extra instructions. A **Simple Language** option keeps answers plain, and **Save Transcript** archives the session. - **Models:** nine, from OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta. - **Zoom:** you need to switch Zoom's screen capture mode to "Advanced capture with window filtering". - **Trial and price:** a 10-minute free trial that can be restarted every 15 minutes; credits start at $59 for three one-hour calls, and the unlimited subscription is $149.90 a month. Read our [Parakeet AI comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/parakeet-ai-alternative) for the plan details. ## 3. Final Round AI ![Final Round AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI pitches itself as an all-in-one interview prep platform.* Final Round AI is a large prep platform: mock interviews, a resume builder and an interview copilot. Its copilot now runs in a desktop app for macOS and Windows, and Final Round is moving users off its older web app. The interface is clean and drops the transcript of your own replies, which leaves more room for the question and the answer. ![Final Round AI copilot screen](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/final-round-ai-copilot.webp) *The copilot shows the interviewer's question on the left and suggested points on the right.* - **Personal context:** upload a resume and choose a role. - **Output controls:** verbosity, transcription delay, temperature, and a format of bullets, paragraphs or short replies. No custom prompts. - **Models:** eight, from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. - **Trial and price:** there is no free trial for live sessions; Pro is advertised from $25 a month on its longest plan and costs about $148 a month on monthly billing. See [Final Round AI alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/final-round-ai-alternatives). ## 4. LockedIn AI ![LockedIn AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/lockedin-ai.webp) *LockedIn AI calls itself a secret weapon for job interviews.* LockedIn AI runs as a web app, a Chrome extension or a desktop app. It transcribes the interviewer and answers in real time, with the interviewer's questions and its answers on the left and your own transcript on the right. In the web app you share the interview tab with it. ![LockedIn AI web app during an interview](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/lockedin-ai-web-app.webp) *LockedIn AI's web app during a practice interview.* - **Personal context:** pick an industry, upload a resume and state your goals; choose the language and even the accent before you start. - **Output controls:** answer length, processing time and word filters; font size, message order and auto-scroll in the session. - **Models:** not stated, and you cannot choose one. - **Trial and price:** a 10-minute trial; the General plan is $55 a month, or $40 a month billed quarterly.

Cluely ![Cluely homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/cluely.webp) *Cluely markets itself first as an AI meeting assistant.* Cluely is mainly a meeting assistant that shows answers in a transparent floating window over your screen, with an interview mode on top. It works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack calls, supports more than 12 languages and offers nine models. ![Cluely's floating answer window](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/cluely-overlay.webp) *Cluely's transparent answer window over a video call.* Cluely's own help pages are frank about its limits. They state that only its keyboard shortcuts are undetectable, that clicking inside Cluely during an interview is not, and that detection caused by clicks is not refundable. They also list proctoring tools it is not undetectable for, including Proctorio, Honorlock, Examity, Respondus LockDown Browser and PSI Bridge. ![Cluely's list of proctoring tools it is not undetectable for](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/cluely-proctoring-limits.webp) *From Cluely's help centre.* ![Cluely's statement on proctored online exams](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-real-time-ai-interview-assistant/cluely-proctored-exams.webp) *Cluely's answer to whether it can ensure undetectability in proctored exams.* - **Trial and price:** the free plan and the $19.99 Pro plan leave out stealth; hiding from screen shares needs Pro + Undetectability at $149.99 a month. Compare it with others in our [Cluely alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/cluely-alternatives) guide. ## Side-by-side comparison | | Solvro | Parakeet AI | Final Round AI | LockedIn AI | Cluely | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Form | Desktop app | Desktop app | Desktop app | Web app, Chrome extension or desktop app | Desktop app | | Detects questions and answers automatically | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Resume and job description | Yes, plus custom instructions | Yes, plus instructions | Resume and role | Resume, industry, goals | Not interview-specific | | Choose your model | 5 models | 9 models | 8 models | No | 9 models | | Global hotkeys | Yes, reassignable | No | No | Yes | Yes | | Coding tests from screenshots | Yes, Coding Test and MCQ modes | Coding mode | Separate tools | Coding assistant | General screen help | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | No | No | No | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes, no card | 10 minutes, repeatable | None for live sessions | 10 minutes | Paid for stealth mode | | Lowest monthly price | $29 (Pro, quarterly); Interview mode from $39 | $149.90 (credits from $59) | From $25 on the longest plan; about $148 monthly | $40 (General, quarterly) | $19.99; $149.99 with stealth | - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

If your interviews are conversations and nothing else, any of the desktop tools will do the basic job; pick on price and on how much you value custom prompts. If your process mixes a live interview with an online assessment, as most technical hiring now does, Solvro covers both in one app and one set of shortcuts. If your assessment uses Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, or is monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio or Proctortrack, Solvro is the only option: Ultimate Solvro works inside all of these locked-down environments. Whatever you choose, run a practice call with a friend first, share your screen, and check what they can see. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a real-time AI interview assistant? It is an app that listens to the interviewer (or reads a question on your screen) during a live interview and shows you a suggested answer within seconds. Solvro does this in Interview mode, using your resume and the job description for context. ### Do I need to share my screen with the assistant? Desktop assistants such as Solvro read system audio and capture the screen themselves, so nothing needs sharing. Web apps, such as the browser version of LockedIn AI, need the interview tab shared with them. ### Can these tools help with technical interviews too? Some can. Solvro has a Coding Test mode that solves a problem from a screenshot and an MCQ mode for multiple-choice tests, alongside Interview mode. ### Which real-time assistant works inside Respondus LockDown Browser or Safe Exam Browser? Solvro is the only real-time interview assistant that works inside locked-down browsers and proctored environments. Ultimate Solvro supports Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. ### How much does a real-time interview assistant cost? Lowest monthly rates run from about $40 to $150. Solvro Pro includes unlimited Interview mode at $39 for one month or $29 a month paid once for three months; Pro+ adds Claude models and Ultimate Solvro. The Sprint Pass is $29 for 7 days. --- # Which AI tool is best for interviews? Eight picks by need URL: https://solvro.in/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview Updated: 2026-10-24 There is no single best AI interview tool, because candidates are trying to fix different things. Some freeze on behavioural questions, some ramble, some need a coding answer in the next ten minutes. Here are eight tools, grouped by the problem each one solves best. - **Solvro:** best for real-time help during live interviews and coding tests. - **Google Interview Warmup:** was the best free basic practice tool (retired in 2026). - **Yoodli:** best for speaking and delivery feedback. - **Teal:** best for realistic mock interviews with analytics. - **Richard McMunn's Interview Coach:** best if you already follow his method. - **Final Round AI:** the broadest all-in-one prep suite. - **Exponent Practice:** best for peer mock interviews in tech roles. - **Career.io:** best for a full career services package. ## Solvro: help during the interview itself Most tools on this list prepare you for the interview. Solvro helps while it happens. It is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS: in **Interview mode** it transcribes what the interviewer says and returns a structured answer within seconds, using your resume and the job description; in **Coding Test** and **MCQ** modes it reads the question from a screenshot and returns the solution or the right option. *Screenshot: Interview mode with the question transcribed and the answer laid out under it.* It is strongest where interviews are hardest to bluff: coding rounds, technical deep-dives and behavioural questions that need a concrete example. You can switch between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 to trade speed for depth. - **Pros:** works live, covers both conversation and coding, answers shaped by your own resume, every action on a reassignable shortcut, and the only tool with Ultimate Solvro for locked-down browsers (Respondus, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft) and proctored environments (ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio, Proctortrack). - **Cons:** no mock-interview simulator or speech coaching; it is built for the real thing, not rehearsal. - **Price:** a free trial of 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes; Pro+ from $39 a month billed quarterly, or $29 for a 7-day pass. ## Google Interview Warmup ![Google Interview Warmup homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/google-interview-warmup.webp) *Google Interview Warmup, retired in April 2026.* Google's free practice tool offered field-specific question sets for areas such as data analytics, marketing and project management, transcribed your spoken answers and highlighted filler words and job-related terms. Google discontinued it in April 2026, but it remains a good model of what basic free practice looks like. - **Pros:** completely free, question sets by field, instant transcript insights. - **Cons:** basic questions only, and no longer available. ## Yoodli ![Yoodli homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/yoodli.webp) *Yoodli focuses on AI roleplays for speaking practice.* Yoodli is a speaking coach. It analyses recorded practice for filler words, pacing and engagement, and suggests how to tighten an answer. Its roleplay mode includes tips on body language, and it integrates with Zoom, so you can practise in the same setting you will interview in. - **Pros:** detailed delivery analysis, an easy recording flow, fast feedback. - **Cons:** limited control over the practice questions, and more focus on delivery than content. ## Teal ![Teal interview practice page](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/teal.webp) *Teal's AI interview practice.* Teal is known for its resume builder and job tracker, and its AI interview practice runs mock interviews tailored to a role and a format: screening, technical or culture fit. It scores pace, response quality and engagement, records video with a live transcript, and tracks progress over time. - **Pros:** realistic conversations, detailed instant feedback, ties into job tracking. - **Cons:** the free tier has limited sessions; unlimited practice is paid. ## Richard McMunn's Interview Coach ![Richard McMunn's Interview Coach page](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/richard-mcmunn-interview-coach.webp) *Richard McMunn's AI interview coach.* This coach is built on Richard McMunn's interview teaching. It adapts mock questions to a role, experience level and sector, uses your resume and the job description, and comes with guides, templates and masterclasses. - **Pros:** a proven method, 24/7 access, bonus materials. - **Cons:** about $79.90 a month, and lighter on advanced technical scenarios. ## Final Round AI ![Final Round AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI bundles a copilot, mock interviews and resume tools.* Final Round AI is the broadest suite here: an interview copilot, mock interviews, a resume builder, an AI career coach and more. Feedback works in solo rehearsal and simulated calls. The breadth is also the drawback: there is a lot to configure, and specialised roles can get general-sounding suggestions. - **Pros:** real-time copilot plus prep, in-depth answer reviews, resume tools. - **Cons:** about $148 a month on monthly billing, and it relies on careful setup. See [Final Round AI alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/final-round-ai-alternatives). ## Exponent Practice ![Exponent homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/exponent.webp) *Exponent covers courses, questions and peer mock interviews for tech roles.* Exponent Practice pairs you with candidates at a similar level for peer mock interviews in software engineering, product management and data science, and adds AI solo practice with transcripts and feedback rubrics. It is now also where Pramp sessions run. - **Pros:** real peer practice, strong content for tech roles, free to start. - **Cons:** limited free sessions, and you depend on a partner being available. ## Career.io ![Career.io homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/best-ai-tool-for-interview/career-io.webp) *Career.io offers interview prep alongside resume and job search tools.* Career.io is a career services bundle: an ATS-aware resume builder, a job search engine with a tracker and auto-apply extension, expert coaching, and interview prep with real employer questions. The interview tool is one feature among many. - **Pros:** covers the whole search, from resume to offer. - **Cons:** the interview tool is less specialised than dedicated ones. ## How to choose | If you need | Start with | |---|---| | Answers during a live interview or coding test | Solvro | | Better delivery and fewer filler words | Yoodli | | Realistic mock interviews with scoring | Teal or Final Round AI | | Practice with another person | Exponent Practice | | Help with the whole job search | Career.io | Prep tools and a live assistant are not either-or. Many candidates rehearse with a mock tool, then keep a live assistant open for the questions they could not predict. Whatever you pick, start with the free tier and run a few sessions before you pay. **See it answer a real question.** Try Solvro free: 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which AI is best for interview preparation? It depends on the gap.

It has to read a problem that runs across several screens, return code that compiles in your language, explain it well enough for you to talk through it, and keep up when the interviewer asks a follow-up. These are the qualities that separate a useful coding assistant from a chatbot with a screenshot button: | Quality | What to look for | |---|---| | Reading the problem | Screenshot capture with a hotkey, and the ability to send several captures as one question. | | Working code | Complete solutions in your language, with time and space complexity. | | Explanation | The reasoning behind the approach, so you can talk through it. | | Follow-ups | Answers to the interviewer's spoken questions, not just the written problem. | | Platform fit | Works alongside HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, LeetCode, Zoom, Teams and Meet. | | Desktop-proctoring support | Works inside Safe Exam Browser and HackerRank Desktop, not just regular browsers. | | Keyboard control | Global hotkeys, so you never reach for the mouse mid-problem. | ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop app for Windows and macOS built around two coding modes. **Coding Test** solves programming problems; **MCQ** answers multiple-choice questions. Both work the same way: press Ctrl+Shift+S to capture the question, press it again for each extra page, then press Ctrl+Enter to send the whole queue as one question. The queue holds up to 20 captures, so a long problem with examples and constraints on separate screens is no trouble. *Screenshot: Two captures of the same problem waiting in the queue before they are sent together.* *Video: Coding Test mode from capture to answer.* - **Languages:** answers in over 10 programming languages. Set a default, or switch with Ctrl+Shift+L. - **Explanations:** each answer comes with the approach and its complexity, so you can explain it in your own words. - **Follow-ups:** the conversation keeps its context, so you can ask "can you do it in O(n)?" without starting over. Ctrl+R starts a fresh one. - **Auto-typing:** Ctrl+Shift+T types the solution into the editor keystroke by keystroke with varied, human timing instead of pasting it. F8 stops it and Ctrl+Shift+Y resumes from the exact character where it stopped. - **Interview mode:** when the coding round turns into a conversation, Interview mode transcribes the interviewer and answers the spoken question. - **Models:** Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. - **Out of the share:** Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it runs outside the browser. - **Ultimate Solvro:** the only coding assistant that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. *Screenshot: Secure auto-typing counts down, then types into whichever window you click.* ## 2. Final Round AI ![Final Round AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI's homepage.* Final Round AI's main strength is answering from your resume and past experience, and it has a dedicated coding interview view that shows the interviewer's questions next to code suggestions. Its copilot now runs in a desktop app for macOS and Windows, with Stealth Mode on the paid Pro plan; the older web version ran in a Chrome tab. ![Final Round AI coding interview view](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/final-round-ai-coding.webp) *Final Round AI's coding interview screen.* - **Platforms:** Zoom, HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, Amazon Chime and Microsoft Teams, as long as they run in Chrome. - **Languages:** Python, JavaScript, Java, C++ and more. - **Watch out for:** because it lives in a browser tab, sharing your entire screen will show it. - **Price:** Pro is advertised from $25 a month on the longest plan and costs about $148 a month on monthly billing; live sessions need Pro. ## 3. LockedIn AI ![LockedIn AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/lockedin-ai.webp) *LockedIn AI's homepage.* LockedIn AI runs as a web app, a Chrome extension or a desktop app. In the web app, you share the tab holding the coding problem with LockedIn, and it analyses that tab. Two features are its own: **Active Tab Isolation**, which keeps the AI focused on the interview page even if you switch tabs, and **Smart Area Selection**, which processes a region of the screen in one click. ![Sharing a tab with LockedIn AI](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/lockedin-ai-share-tab.webp) *LockedIn AI asks you to share the tab that holds the problem.* Its **Side-by-Side Coding** view opens a full coding page next to the interview, which is easier to read than a small floating window. ![LockedIn AI side-by-side coding view](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/lockedin-ai-side-by-side.webp) *LockedIn AI's side-by-side solution view.* - **Models:** DeepSeek, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and Grok. - **Follow-ups:** answers spoken questions without you marking where they start and end. - **Watch out for:** share only the single tab, never the whole screen. - **Price:** General is $55 a month, or $40 a month billed quarterly, with a 10-minute trial. ## 4. Interview Coder ![Interview Coder homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/interview-coder.webp) *Interview Coder's homepage.* Interview Coder is a desktop app focused squarely on coding rounds. It runs outside the browser, can hide its Dock icon, and uses a disguised process name in Activity Monitor. It handles audio follow-ups, supports global hotkeys, and can use your personal background in its answers. - **Platforms:** Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Amazon Chime, HackerRank, CoderPad and Codility. - **Models:** DeepSeek, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and Grok. - **Limits:** the answer panel cannot be collapsed, you cannot ask it to refine an answer (only regenerate it), and there is no history. - **Price:** $299 a month for 1,000 credits, or $799 for lifetime access; the app is a free download, but AI features need a plan. See our [Interview Coder comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/interview-coder-alternative). ## 5. Parakeet AI ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI has a dedicated coding mode.* Parakeet AI is a desktop app with fast transcription and a clear structure for coding answers: a guided approach first, then complete code with **syntax highlighting**, then optimisation tips. It can hide its Dock icon and accepts your resume for personalised answers. - **Controls:** no global hotkeys; screenshots and window moves are all done with the mouse. - **Languages:** 52 spoken languages. - **Models:** GPT-5, GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. - **Price:** credits from $59 for three one-hour sessions, or $149.90 a month; 10-minute trial. ## 6. Cluely ![Cluely homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/cluely.webp) *Cluely's homepage.* Cluely is a meeting assistant first, but its overlay can help in a coding interview call. It supports 12+ languages and works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack calls. ![Cluely overlay during a call](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant/cluely-overlay.webp) *Cluely's floating overlay over a video call.* Cluely's documentation is explicit about its limits: only its keyboard shortcuts are meant to be used during an interview, because click events can be picked up by browser checks, and it does not guarantee invisibility on older computers and operating systems or under proctoring software. - **Price:** Pro is $19.99 a month, but hiding from screen shares needs Pro + Undetectability at $149.99 a month. See [Cluely alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/cluely-alternatives). ## Feature comparison | | Solvro | Final Round AI | LockedIn AI | Interview Coder | Parakeet AI | Cluely | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Browser tab | Browser tab | Desktop app | Desktop app | Desktop app | | Multi-screenshot questions | Up to 20 captures | No | Area selection | Yes | Click to capture | Screen help | | Global hotkeys | Yes, reassignable | No | Yes, fixed | Yes | No | Yes | | Spoken follow-ups | Yes (Interview mode) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Human-cadence auto-typing | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | No | No | No | No | | Resume context | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | ## Pricing | Assistant | Free option | Lowest monthly price | |---|---|---| | Solvro | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | $29 (Pro, quarterly) | | LockedIn AI | 10-minute trial | $40 (General, quarterly) | | Final Round AI | None for live sessions | From $25 on the longest plan | | Cluely | Free plan without stealth | $19.99; $149.99 with stealth | | Parakeet AI | 10-minute trial | $149.90, or credits from $59 | | Interview Coder | Free download, AI needs a plan | $299, or $799 lifetime | Solvro's Pro plan covers Coding Test, MCQ, Query and unlimited Interview mode with the Gemini models; Pro+ adds the Claude models and Ultimate Solvro. - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use a coding interview assistant for behavioural rounds too? Most of these tools also answer spoken questions. Solvro switches between Coding Test, MCQ, Interview and Query modes with one shortcut, so the same app covers an online assessment, a behavioural round and a system design discussion. ### Do I need to install anything? Desktop assistants such as Solvro, Interview Coder, Parakeet AI and Final Round AI need installing. Browser-based tools, and the web version of LockedIn AI, run in a tab, which means they show up if you share your whole screen. ### Which programming languages does Solvro support? Solvro returns solutions in over 10 programming languages, including Python, Java, C++ and JavaScript. Set your default in Settings or switch with Ctrl Shift L. ### Does any coding assistant work inside Safe Exam Browser? Solvro is the only coding interview assistant with Ultimate Solvro, which works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. Other coding assistants are blocked by these environments. ### What happens if a coding problem does not fit on one screen? In Solvro, press Ctrl Shift S once per screen. The captures wait in a queue (up to 20) and Ctrl Enter sends them as one question. --- # Invisible AI interview assistants: what "invisible" really means URL: https://solvro.in/guides/invisible-ai-interview-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 Almost every interview copilot now calls itself invisible. The word hides real differences: some tools are browser tabs you must remember not to share, some are desktop windows the operating system keeps out of captures, and some send you to a second device. Here is how to tell them apart. ## What "invisible" means for an interview assistant There are three separate questions behind the word. 1. **Does it show up in a screen share or recording?** A desktop app can ask the operating system to exclude its window from capture. On Windows this is the content-protection flag; macOS has an equivalent. A browser tab cannot do this, so web-based tools rely on you sharing a single tab rather than your whole screen. 2. **Is it part of the web page?** Page-level proctoring scripts can see tabs, focus changes and clicks inside the browser. An app that runs outside the browser is not part of the page they inspect. 3. **Does using it change your behaviour?** Clicking around, switching tabs or looking at a phone are visible to a person no matter how the software behaves. Tools built around keyboard shortcuts and fast answers leave less to notice. 4. **Does it work inside a locked-down browser?** Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop block most applications from running. Proctoring services such as ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack add further monitoring. An assistant needs a dedicated mode to work inside these environments; without one, it is shut down before the test starts. No vendor can promise all four hold against every proctoring product, and the honest ones say so. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a Zoom, Meet or Teams share. It runs as its own app, outside the browser, so page-level scripts do not see it. *Screenshot: The Solvro overlay beside a LeetCode problem. In a screen share, only the problem is captured.* It is designed to be driven from the keyboard. Ctrl+Shift+S captures a question, Ctrl+Enter sends it, Ctrl+Space hides the window instantly, and Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[ fade it up or down so it sits lightly over whatever you are reading. You choose every key yourself, and the platform underneath never receives them. - **Modes:** Interview (live transcription and answers), Coding Test, MCQ, Query, and Ultimate Solvro. - **Ultimate Solvro:** the only assistant that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. Other tools are blocked by these environments. - **Personal answers:** your resume, the job description and your own instructions shape every interview answer. - **Models:** Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. - **Price:** Pro with unlimited Interview mode from $39 for one month; Pro+ adds Claude models and Ultimate Solvro from $49; a 7-day Sprint Pass is $29. **Check it on your own screen share.** Start free, share your screen with a friend, and see what they see.

Final Round AI ![Final Round AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/invisible-ai-interview-assistant/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI's homepage: copilot, mock interviews, job hunter and resume builder.* Final Round AI offers a web app and a desktop download with a stealth mode. It has the widest feature set of the five: model choice, a resume builder with keyword suggestions, and mock interviews across industries with adjustable difficulty. - **Strengths:** breadth of features and customisation. - **Weaknesses:** reviewers report occasional glitches in live sessions and answers that can feel generic for specialised roles. - **Price:** about $148 a month on monthly billing, less on longer plans. ## 3. Parakeet AI ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/invisible-ai-interview-assistant/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI offers credits, subscriptions and a one-time purchase.* Parakeet AI is a desktop app built on models such as GPT-5, GPT-4.1 and Claude 4, and gives detailed answers on both behavioural and technical questions. Its pricing is the most flexible of the five, which matters if you only have one or two interviews coming up. - **Strengths:** detailed answers, pay-per-use credits. - **Weaknesses:** credit sessions are time-limited, which is awkward when you cannot predict how long an interview will run; it is operated with the mouse rather than hotkeys. - **Price:** credits (one credit is a one-hour session) from $38 for one or $59 for three; or unlimited at $149.90 a month or $449.90 a year, with a lifetime option. ## 4. LockedIn AI LockedIn AI gives structured answers and useful feedback after practice, with notes such as "you sped up here" or "this part did not answer the question". Its web app runs in a browser tab, where you share a single tab rather than your whole screen; LockedIn also offers a desktop app for macOS and Windows. - **Strengths:** reliable, structured answers and practice feedback. - **Weaknesses:** more than a dozen shortcut combinations to learn, and it shows hints first, so you have to ask again for a full answer. - **Price:** General plan $55 a month or $40 a month quarterly; Professional $120 a month or $80 a month quarterly. ## 5. LeetCode Wizard ![LeetCode Wizard solution view](https://solvro.in/images/guides/invisible-ai-interview-assistant/leetcode-wizard.webp) *LeetCode Wizard walking through a Two Sum solution.* LeetCode Wizard is a desktop app built only for coding rounds. On Windows it stays out of screenshots and screen recordings. Its solutions are written to read more like human code than textbook answers, and each comes with a step-by-step explanation. - **Strengths:** explanations that teach the pattern, human-looking code. - **Weaknesses:** on some platforms its own workaround is to read answers on a second device, which is awkward on a phone and easy to notice on a tablet; some platforms, such as Coderbyte, detect a second device. ## Comparison | | Solvro | Final Round AI | Parakeet AI | LockedIn AI | LeetCode Wizard | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Web app and desktop | Desktop app | Web app, Chrome extension or desktop | Desktop app | | Excluded from screen capture | Yes, OS content protection | Desktop stealth mode | Yes | Web app: share one tab only | Yes, on Windows | | Keyboard-driven | Yes, reassignable shortcuts | Partly | No | Many fixed combinations | Partly | | Live interviews | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No, coding only | | Coding tests | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | No | No | No | | Lowest price | $29/mo (Pro, quarterly) | About $148/mo monthly | $38 per one-hour credit | $40/mo quarterly | Varies | ## How to check a tool before you rely on it Run a practice call with a friend on the same platform your interview uses. Share your entire screen, not a tab, and ask them what they see. Try it with the window faded, hidden and at full strength. Then do the same on the assessment platform's practice test if it has one. Ten minutes of testing tells you more than any vendor's claim. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Solvro visible when I share my screen? Solvro sets the operating system content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a Zoom, Meet or Teams share. We cannot guarantee behaviour against every proctoring product, so test it on a practice call first. ### Why are browser-based assistants easier to spot? A browser tab cannot exclude itself from a screen share, and page-level proctoring scripts can see tab switches and clicks. Desktop apps run outside the browser and can ask the operating system to keep their window out of captures. ### Can an interviewer tell from my behaviour? Possibly. Long pauses, reading aloud and glancing away are noticeable no matter how the software behaves. Keyboard shortcuts, a faded window placed near your camera and answers based on your own resume help you stay natural. ### Which invisible interview assistant works inside Respondus LockDown Browser or Safe Exam Browser? Solvro is the only interview assistant that works inside locked-down and proctored environments. Ultimate Solvro supports Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. ### What does Solvro listen to in Interview mode? Interview mode captures your microphone and your computer's system audio (the interviewer coming through the call), transcribes the conversation, and answers the interviewer's questions. --- # How to use an AI interview copilot, step by step URL: https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot Updated: 2026-10-24 An AI interview copilot only helps if it is set up before the call starts. The candidates who get the most out of one spend twenty minutes on setup and one practice call, so that on the day they never have to think about the software. Here is that routine with Solvro. An interview copilot is an app that sits beside your video call or coding test, hears or reads the question, and shows you a suggested answer within seconds. Solvro does this in four modes: **Interview** for spoken questions, **Coding Test** for programming problems, **MCQ** for multiple-choice tests and **Query** for anything else on your screen. It also has **Ultimate Solvro** that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. ## Step 1: Create an account and install the app [Create a free account](https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup). Every account starts with 10 AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode, with no card, which is enough to finish this whole guide. Then [download Solvro](https://solvro.in/download): - **Windows:** run `solvro.exe`. It installs and opens on its own. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click **More info**, then **Run anyway**. Your dashboard can also generate a one-line PowerShell install command that is unique to your account. - **macOS (Apple Silicon):** open the `.dmg`, drag Solvro into Applications and open it. If macOS blocks it, go to **System Settings, Privacy & Security** and click **Open Anyway**. Allow **Screen Recording** and **Microphone** when asked: screenshots and Interview mode need them. Sign in inside the app with the same account. *Video: The dashboard's one-line install command for Windows.* ## Step 2: Give it your context This is the step most people skip, and the one that makes answers sound like you. Open [Settings](https://solvro.in/settings) on the website: 1. **Interview topic:** the role in a few words, such as "SDE 1" or "Senior product manager". 2. **Personal info:** upload your resume as a PDF and let it be formatted, or paste your summary and experience. 3. **Job description:** paste it or upload the PDF. 4. **Extra context:** anything an interviewer might probe: a career change, a gap, the strengths you want to lead with. 5. **Custom instructions:** how you want answers shaped. For example: "Give the key point in one line, then three short supporting bullets." Interview answers now draw on your own projects and numbers instead of a generic template. ## Step 3: Learn five shortcuts Every action in Solvro has a shortcut, and you can reassign any of them. The interview platform underneath never receives them. These five cover almost everything: | Shortcut | What it does | |---|---| | Ctrl+Shift+S | Capture the screen into the queue. Press again for each extra page. | | Ctrl+Enter | Send the queue (and any typed context) for an answer. | | Ctrl+Shift+Space | Switch mode: Interview, Coding Test, MCQ, Query. | | Ctrl+Space | Hide or show the window instantly. | | Ctrl+Shift+A / Ctrl+Shift+X | Start or stop Interview mode. | Useful extras: Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[ change the window's opacity, Ctrl+Shift+M switches model, Ctrl+Shift+L switches programming language, and Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+Down scroll a long answer. *Video: Shortcuts are received by Solvro alone.* ## Step 4: Pick your mode and model - **Live conversation (behavioural, HR, case or technical discussion):** Interview mode. Start it with Ctrl+Shift+A before the call; it transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked. Ctrl+Shift+N marks a new question if you want a fresh answer. - **Coding assessment or live coding:** Coding Test mode. Capture, send, read the approach, write or auto-type the code. - **Multiple-choice test:** MCQ mode. - **Anything else on screen:** Query mode. Capture it, type a question, and ask follow-ups. For models, the Gemini models are fastest; Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 reason more deeply on hard problems. Switch any time with Ctrl+Shift+M. The full list is Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. *Video: Moving between the four modes.* ## Step 5: Rehearse once Before a real interview, run one practice call with a friend on the platform you will use (Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex): 1. Start Interview mode and let your friend ask three questions from the job description. 2. Answer out loud using the suggestion as notes, not as a script. 3. Share your entire screen and ask your friend what they can see. 4. Try one coding problem in Coding Test mode if your process has a technical round. 5. Set the window's position and opacity so you can read it while still looking near your camera. ## Step 6: On the day - Open Solvro before you join the call, check the mode, and start Interview mode. - Glance, then speak. Use the first line of the answer to get started and the bullets as memory joggers; nobody wants to hear an answer read aloud. - If an answer misses the point, ask again with Ctrl+Shift+N, or capture what is on screen with Ctrl+Shift+S for context. - Afterwards, note the questions that caught you out and add better examples to your Extra context for next time. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer.

Solvro handles live interviews (behavioural, HR, case and technical discussions) in Interview mode, coding assessments in Coding Test mode, multiple-choice tests in MCQ mode, and anything else on screen in Query mode. ### How fast are the answers? Interview mode returns a structured answer within seconds of the question. The Gemini models are the fastest; Claude Opus 5 and Fable 5 take a little longer and reason more deeply. ### Is it free to try? Yes. Every account gets 10 free AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode with no card. Paid plans start at $39 a month, or $29 for a 7-day Sprint Pass. ### Do I need to change my answers to sound natural? Yes, and the setup helps. Add your resume, the job description and custom instructions so suggestions draw on your own experience, then use them as notes rather than reading them out. --- # The five best AI overlays for interviews URL: https://solvro.in/guides/ai-overlay-for-interviews Updated: 2026-10-24 An AI overlay puts the answer on top of the screen you are already looking at, so you never switch tabs or look down at a phone. Overlays come as browser extensions, browser tabs or desktop windows, and that choice decides most of what follows. ## What to look for in an AI overlay - **Where it lives.** A desktop window can be kept out of screen captures by the operating system; a browser tab or extension cannot. - **How it reads the question.** Live audio for conversation, screenshots for coding problems, and ideally several screenshots for one long problem. - **Speed.** General questions should come back in a second or two; coding problems in a few seconds. - **Control.** Global hotkeys, adjustable opacity and a window you can move without the mouse. - **Personal answers.** Your resume and the role, so answers sound like you. - **Languages.** Python, Java, JavaScript, C++ and the rest. ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop overlay for Windows and macOS. Its window floats above the interview, and it sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes it from screen capture and recording. It runs outside the browser, so it is not part of the page you are being tested on. *Screenshot: The Solvro overlay next to a coding problem.* **Reading the question.** In Interview mode it transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked. In Coding Test and MCQ modes, Ctrl+Shift+S captures the screen; press it once per page of a long problem, up to 20 captures, then Ctrl+Enter sends them together. Query mode answers anything else you capture or type. **Control.** Every action has a shortcut you can reassign: Ctrl+Space hides the window, Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[ fade it, the arrow shortcuts move it, and Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+Down scroll a long answer. **Personal answers.** Add your resume, the job description and custom instructions in Settings, and Interview mode draws on them. **Ultimate Solvro.** Solvro is the only overlay that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. **Coding extras.** Answers in over 10 programming languages, and auto-typing that types the solution with human timing instead of pasting it. - **Models:** Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. - **Price:** Pro with unlimited Interview mode $39 for one month (or $29 a month paid once for three months); Pro+ with five models and Ultimate Solvro $49; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days. **Put the overlay on your own screen.** 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes.

Final Round AI ![Final Round AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-overlay-for-interviews/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI: copilot, mock interviews, job hunter and resume builder.* Final Round AI's overlay answers from your resume and work history, and the platform around it is the most complete of the five: model choice, a resume builder with keyword suggestions, and mock interviews with adjustable difficulty across many roles. Its copilot now runs in a desktop app for macOS and Windows, beside Zoom, HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, Amazon Chime or Teams. - **Strengths:** features and customisation. - **Weaknesses:** as a browser-based overlay it shows if you share your whole screen; reviewers report occasional glitches and answers that feel general. ## 3. Parakeet AI ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-overlay-for-interviews/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI's homepage.* Parakeet AI's overlay is a desktop app with syntax-highlighted code. For coding problems it gives a step-by-step approach, then the complete code, then optimisation tips. It runs on models such as GPT-5, GPT-4.1 and Claude 4. - **Strengths:** clear, structured coding answers. - **Weaknesses:** mouse-only control with no global hotkeys; credit plans are time-limited per session. ## 4. Beyz AI ![Beyz AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-overlay-for-interviews/beyz-ai.webp) *Beyz AI calls itself an AI-powered interview assistant.* Beyz AI covers the whole process, from screening calls to coding rounds, and keeps every round in one place. Its transcription is fast and accurate, and its coding help covers logic, complexity and optimal solutions. Answers read naturally. - **Strengths:** accurate transcription, one place for every round. - **Weaknesses:** response time varies, and answers can sound junior for senior roles. More in our [Beyz AI comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/beyz-ai-alternative). ## 5. LeetCode Wizard LeetCode Wizard uses custom models trained on LeetCode-style questions. Its code reads more like a person wrote it, and every answer comes with a thorough step-by-step explanation. - **Strengths:** human-looking code, explanations that teach the pattern. - **Weaknesses:** built for LeetCode-style problems; on some platforms its fallback is a second device showing the answers, which some platforms (such as Coderbyte) detect. ## Comparison | | Solvro | Final Round AI | Parakeet AI | Beyz AI | LeetCode Wizard | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Overlay type | Desktop window | Desktop window | Desktop window | Browser tab | Desktop window | | Live interview answers | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Several screenshots per question | Yes, up to 20 | No | No | No | No | | Global hotkeys | Yes, reassignable | No | No | Yes | Yes | | Resume-based answers | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | No | No | No | | Platforms | Any app or browser | Zoom, Teams, HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad and more | Most platforms | Most platforms | Best on LeetCode | ## Setting up an overlay well Place the window near your camera so reading it does not pull your eyes away. Fade it to the lowest opacity you can still read. Learn the hide shortcut so you can clear it in an instant. And before the real interview, share your whole screen on a practice call and check what the other side sees. Our [step-by-step setup guide](https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot) walks through it. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can interviewers see an AI overlay? It depends on the overlay. Browser-based overlays appear if you share your whole screen. Solvro is a desktop window that sets the operating system content-protection flag, which excludes it from screen capture and recording. No tool can promise this holds against every proctoring product, so test on a practice call first. ### Do AI overlays work on Mac and Windows? Solvro runs on Windows and on macOS with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Check each other tool's site for its current support. ### Can I use my own AI model? Most overlays, Solvro included, bundle their models rather than taking your own API key. Solvro lets you switch between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 in the app. ### Is it allowed to use an AI overlay in an interview? That depends on the employer and the platform. Most prohibit outside help in their terms, so read the rules first and decide for yourself. --- # AI interview prep tools, and a routine that uses them well URL: https://solvro.in/guides/ai-interview-prep-tools Updated: 2026-10-24 Interview prep usually fails in one of three places: you do not know what will be asked, you know the answer but freeze, or you get a question you could never have predicted. AI tools now cover all three. The trick is knowing which tool closes which gap. Five names come up again and again: - **Solvro:** live help for the questions you could not predict, plus fast research while you prepare. - **Interview Warmup by Google:** quick, free question practice (retired in 2026). - **Pramp:** live peer mock interviews. - **InterviewAI:** generated questions with feedback and analytics. - **Big Interview:** video practice with AI review. ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop assistant for Windows and macOS. It is built for the interview itself, not for rehearsal: in **Interview mode** it transcribes the conversation and answers each question within seconds, drawing on the resume and job description you added; in **Coding Test** and **MCQ** modes it solves what you capture from the screen. *Screenshot: Interview mode answering a question as it is asked.* It is also useful while you prepare. **Query mode** answers anything you type or capture: paste the job description and ask for the ten questions most likely to come up, ask it to turn a project from your resume into a STAR answer, or capture a past assessment question and ask for the approach. Then rehearse those answers out loud. - **Best for:** tech, finance, product and consulting interviews where questions get specific. The only tool with Ultimate Solvro for assessments inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop and proctored environments. - **Not for:** recorded mock interviews or speech coaching. Solvro has no mock-interview mode. - **Price:** free trial of 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes; Pro with unlimited Interview mode $39 for one month; Pro+ with five models and Ultimate Solvro $49; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days. ## 2. Interview Warmup by Google Interview Warmup was the easiest way to start: no account, no download, pick a field such as Data Analytics, IT Support or Project Management and answer out loud. It transcribed your answers and highlighted key terms and repeated phrases. Google retired it in April 2026. | Pros | Cons | |---|---| | Free, no sign-up | Only Google's chosen fields | | Instant feedback | No live interviewer | | Good for quick sessions | Basic feedback; now discontinued | ## 3. Pramp Pramp pairs you with another candidate for a live, timed mock interview, and you take turns as interviewer and candidate. Topics include data structures, algorithms, system design and behavioural questions, and an AI summary after each session points out gaps in clarity, structure and depth. New sessions now run on Exponent Practice. | Pros | Cons | |---|---| | Real people, real pressure | Scheduling can be tricky | | Free | Quality depends on your partner | | Human plus AI feedback | Limited topics | ## 4. InterviewAI InterviewAI generates technical, behavioural and situational questions for a chosen role and difficulty, reviews each answer straight away for tone, clarity and structure, and tracks your strengths and weak spots on a dashboard. | Pros | Cons | |---|---| | Custom question generation | Some features need a paid plan, from about $30 a month | | Instant, detailed feedback | No live interviewer | | Progress analytics | Limited industries | ## 5. Big Interview Big Interview is video practice. You record answers from its question library, watch them back, and get AI feedback on pace, clarity, tone and body language, with progress tracked over time. | Pros | Cons | |---|---| | Real video practice | Paid, from about $40 a month | | Detailed AI feedback | Needs a webcam, feels awkward at first | | Tracks progress | | ## Comparison | | Solvro | Interview Warmup | Pramp | InterviewAI | Big Interview | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Help during the real interview | Yes | No | No | No | No | | Mock interviews | No | Questions only | Peer mocks | AI mocks | Video mocks | | Question generation | Yes, in Query mode | Fixed sets | Topic sets | Yes | Library | | Coding problems | Yes | No | Yes | Some | No | | Free option | Trial | Was free | Free | Free tier | No | | Lowest monthly price | $29 (quarterly) | Free | Free | About $30 | About $40 | ## A one-week prep routine 1. **Day 1:** paste the job description into Solvro's Query mode and list the likely questions. Add your resume and the job description to Solvro's Settings. 2. **Days 2 and 3:** draft STAR answers for the behavioural questions; rehearse them on video with Big Interview, or out loud on your own. 3. **Days 4 and 5:** two peer mocks on Pramp or Exponent, one technical and one behavioural. 4. **Day 6:** a practice call with a friend using Solvro in Interview mode, so you know how it feels to glance and speak. 5. **Day 7:** rest, review your notes, and check your setup. If your interview is next week rather than next month, Solvro's $29 Sprint Pass covers exactly seven days with every model and mode. **Start with the free trial.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card.

Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I choose an AI interview prep tool? Start from the gap. For practice under pressure, Pramp or Exponent. For delivery, Big Interview. For questions tailored to the role, InterviewAI or Solvro's Query mode. For help during the interview itself, Solvro. ### Can these tools help with interview nerves? Yes. Rehearsing out loud makes questions familiar, and knowing a live assistant is there for the unexpected question takes some pressure off. ### Do I need to pay for good AI interview prep? Not always. Pramp is free, and most tools have a free tier or trial. Solvro gives every account 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes. ### Will these tools work for non-tech jobs? Yes. InterviewAI and Big Interview cover many fields, and Solvro's Interview mode works for any role because it answers from your own resume and the job description. --- # Tech interview AI assistants: five tools for coding and system design rounds URL: https://solvro.in/guides/tech-interview-ai-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 A technical interview is three interviews in one: a coding problem, the conversation about your solution, and the questions about your past systems. A good tech interview assistant has to handle all three without making you switch tools halfway through. We compared each tool on the things that matter in a technical round: - **Coding:** working solutions in your language, with complexity. - **Follow-ups:** answers to the interviewer's spoken questions about your approach. - **Speed:** how long you wait, for a short question and for a hard problem. - **Personalisation:** your resume and the role shaping the answers. - **Stability:** a tool that freezes mid-interview is worse than none. - **Price and privacy.** ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop app for Windows and macOS with four modes you switch between with Ctrl+Shift+Space: **Coding Test** for programming problems, **MCQ** for multiple-choice screens, **Interview** for the conversation and **Query** for anything else. *Video: Coding Test mode: capture, send, read the approach.* In the coding part of a round, Ctrl+Shift+S captures the problem (once per page, up to 20 captures) and Ctrl+Enter sends it. The answer explains the approach and its complexity before the code, so you can talk it through. When the interviewer asks "why a heap and not a sorted array?", Interview mode hears the question and answers it, using your resume and the job description for the questions about your own experience. | Feature | What it means in a tech round | |---|---| | Up to 20 screenshots per question | Long problems with examples and constraints on separate screens | | 10+ programming languages | Answers in the language you are coding in; switch with Ctrl+Shift+L | | Five models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5; fast models for easy questions, deeper ones for hard problems | | Auto-typing | Types the solution with human timing instead of pasting; resumes where it stopped | | Reassignable global hotkeys | Nothing to click while you are being watched | | Content protection | The OS excludes the window from screen capture and recording | | Ultimate Solvro | Works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop and proctored environments including ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack | - **Price:** Pro (coding, MCQ and unlimited Interview mode) $39 for one month or $29 a month for three months; Pro+ adds Claude models and Ultimate Solvro from $49; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days. **Try it on a LeetCode problem.** Your first 10 answers are free.

Interview Solver ![Interview Solver homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/tech-interview-ai-assistant/interview-solver.webp) *Interview Solver focuses on coding interviews.* Interview Solver specialises in real-time coding interviews and LeetCode problems. It transcribes both your voice and the interviewer's, lets you upload documents to reference during the interview, and has a **companion mode** that shows answers on a second device. - **Pros:** fast, professional answers; responsive global hotkeys; stays out of screenshots and meetings. - **Cons:** answers need a click or shortcut rather than generating automatically; transparency cannot be adjusted; reviewers report occasional freezes and trouble finding the window after minimising, and a failure to run on one Mac. - **Price:** $59 a month, or $149 every 3 months; there is a free tier. See our [Interview Solver comparison](https://solvro.in/alternatives/interview-solver-alternative). ## 3. LeetCode Wizard LeetCode Wizard uses custom models trained on LeetCode interview questions and is controlled entirely with hotkeys. It solves problems quickly, explains them clearly, and has a web view for reading the output on a second device. - **Pros:** fast and accurate on LeetCode-style problems; never leaves the keyboard. - **Cons:** the second-device setup is awkward on a phone and easy to notice with a tablet, and some platforms, such as Coderbyte, detect it. - **Price:** €49 (about $58) a month. ## 4. CTRLpotato ![CTRLpotato homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/tech-interview-ai-assistant/ctrlpotato.webp) *CTRLpotato's homepage.* CTRLpotato is a desktop app built around a **context buffer**: you add audio, screenshots and text snippets, then send them together for one complete answer. It recognises questions automatically, covers behavioural and coding formats in 10+ languages, and can mirror answers to your phone. - **Pros:** one-click capture of audio, text and screenshots; strong on hard LeetCode problems; choose your programming language. - **Cons:** answers can feel templated and miss your background; the phone mirror has the same second-device problem as LeetCode Wizard. See our [CTRLpotato comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/ctrlpotato-alternative). ## 5. Beyz AI ![Beyz AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/tech-interview-ai-assistant/beyz-ai.webp) *Beyz AI's homepage.* Beyz AI combines an interview assistant, a coding assistant, solo practice and interview cheat sheets, and keeps every round in one place. Setup is guided step by step, and its transcription is fast and accurate. - **Pros:** natural-sounding answers, simple setup, all-in-one prep. - **Cons:** the coding assistant and desktop app are paid-only, and full features need a quarterly or annual plan; answers sometimes miss the question or lag, struggle with accents and technical terms, and can sound junior for senior roles. ## Which one fits which candidate | Need | Best fit | |---|---| | Coding plus the conversation around it, in one tool | Solvro | | LeetCode-heavy rounds with a phone as a remote | Interview Solver | | Pure LeetCode practice with a second screen | LeetCode Wizard | | Bundling audio, text and screenshots into one question | CTRLpotato | | All-in-one prep with cheat sheets | Beyz AI | For a broader look at coding copilots, including Interview Coder and Parakeet AI, read our [coding interview assistant comparison](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant). If you are an engineer preparing for a full loop, our guide for [software engineers](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-software-engineers) covers each round. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a tech interview AI assistant? An app that helps during technical interviews: it solves coding problems from screenshots, explains the approach, and answers the interviewer's spoken follow-ups. Solvro covers all three with its Coding Test, MCQ and Interview modes. ### Can I use a tech interview assistant for system design? Yes. In Solvro, Interview mode answers spoken system design questions, and Query mode explains a diagram or prompt you capture from the screen. ### Can these assistants help with non-technical roles? Most also handle behavioural questions. Solvro's Interview mode works for any role, because it answers from your own resume and the job description. ### Which models does Solvro use for coding? You can switch between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 with Ctrl Shift M. Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 are the strongest on hard problems; the Gemini models are fastest. --- # Seven Final Round AI alternatives, compared on price and features URL: https://solvro.in/compare/final-round-ai-alternatives Updated: 2026-10-24 Final Round AI is one of the best-known interview platforms, and one of the most expensive.

It is also the only alternative with Ultimate Solvro, which works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop and proctored environments. If cost is everything, Verve AI has the cheapest paid plan and Pramp is free. If you mainly want practice rather than live help, Skillora, Pramp and Interviewing.io are better fits. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does Final Round AI cost? Final Round AI's Plus plan is $148 a month on monthly billing.

Among live copilots, Solvro's $29 Sprint Pass covers a full interview week, and Solvro Pro starts at $39 a month. ### Which Final Round AI alternative is best for coding interviews? Solvro, which has dedicated Coding Test and MCQ modes, multi-screenshot questions, answers in over 10 programming languages and human-cadence auto-typing. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

Being general is also its weakness. Answers can come back short and generic because the tool does not know which of those situations you are in. ![Cluely homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/cluely.webp) *Cluely markets itself as an AI assistant for meetings.* If you use Cluely for one job, a tool built for that job will usually do it better. Here are alternatives for the four things people use Cluely for most. | If you use Cluely for | Try instead | Why | |---|---|---| | Job interviews and coding tests | Solvro | Built for interviews: resume-aware answers, coding modes, auto-typing | | Meeting notes | Fathom | Free unlimited recording, transcripts and summaries | | Sales team workflows | Claap | Notes, follow-ups and CRM updates in 99 languages | | Live sales coaching | SalesEcho | Real-time objection handling on calls | | Screen recording with AI | ScreenApp | Record, transcribe and summarise from the browser | ## Solvro: the Cluely alternative for interviews Solvro is a desktop assistant built only for interviews and assessments, which is why its answers go further than a general meeting copilot's. Four modes cover the formats you will meet: **Interview** for live conversation, **Coding Test** for programming problems, **MCQ** for multiple-choice tests and **Query** for anything else on screen. *Video: Interview mode: the question is transcribed and answered while it is still on the table.* **Live interviews.** Interview mode transcribes the conversation and returns a structured answer within seconds of each question, with no button to press. Add your resume, the job description and custom instructions in Settings, and answers draw on your own projects and numbers instead of a template. **Coding rounds.** Capture the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S (up to 20 captures for long problems), send with Ctrl+Enter, and get the approach, the complexity and working code in over 10 languages. Auto-typing then types it with human timing rather than pasting. **Out of the share.** Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. Cluely's own help centre says only its shortcuts, not clicks, are safe to use during an interview; Solvro is driven by reassignable shortcuts from the start. **Ultimate Solvro.** Solvro is the only interview assistant that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. Cluely's own documentation lists several of these among the proctoring tools it does not support. | | Solvro | Cluely | |---|---|---| | Built for | Interviews and assessments | Meetings, sales and interviews | | Personal context | Resume, job description, custom instructions | General | | Coding and MCQ modes | Yes | General screen help | | Auto-typing | Yes, human cadence | No | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | 9 models | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | Stealth mode needs a paid plan | | Starting price | $39 a month; Interview mode $49 | $19.99 a month; $149.99 with stealth | **Try the interview-first alternative.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free.

Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Fathom: for free meeting notes ![Fathom homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/fathom.webp) *Fathom calls itself the number one rated AI notetaker.* Fathom records and transcribes Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls and produces a summary with action items within seconds of the call ending. It translates into more than 28 languages and connects to Salesforce and Notion. There is no hidden overlay: everyone on the call knows it is recording, which makes it a straightforward choice for internal meetings. The free plan is unlimited for the basics. - **Best for:** anyone who wants notes without paying. - **Watch out for:** some attendees hesitate when a call is recorded, though you can pause it. ## Claap: for sales teams ![Claap homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/claap.webp) *Claap focuses on AI agents for sales teams.* Claap records and transcribes in 99 languages, then writes notes, follow-up emails and CRM updates, with HubSpot sync. Objection reports and deal insights show patterns across calls, and a video library helps onboard new sellers. There is a free tier and a 14-day trial. - **Best for:** B2B sales teams. - **Watch out for:** more than a solo user needs, and setup takes a little time. ## SalesEcho: for live sales coaching ![SalesEcho homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/salesecho.webp) *SalesEcho positions itself as an AI sales coach on every call.* SalesEcho listens to sales calls in real time and suggests responses and objection handling as the conversation unfolds, adapting to your style. Its site claims it can lift close rates by 30%. - **Best for:** founders and freelancers running their own demos. - **Watch out for:** occasional lag in complex discussions; built for sales, not general meetings. ## ScreenApp: for recording with AI insights ![ScreenApp homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/screenapp.webp) *ScreenApp turns recordings into notes and insights.* ScreenApp records meetings, lectures and calls from the browser, then transcribes, summarises and takes notes. URL-based capture is handy for webinars, and there is a free tier. - **Best for:** visual, recording-heavy work. - **Watch out for:** overlaps with dedicated notetakers, and accuracy drops with poor audio. ## Which Cluely alternative should you choose? **For interviews, our pick is Solvro.** Choose a tool that knows it is in an interview: Solvro answers from your resume, handles coding and multiple-choice screens, and is controlled entirely from the keyboard. For notes, Fathom is free; for sales, Claap or SalesEcho. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Cluely work for interviews? It does, but it is a general assistant, so answers can be short and generic. Its help centre also says clicks during an interview are not covered by its undetectable mode and lists proctoring tools it does not hide from. ### What is the best Cluely alternative for coding interviews? Solvro, because it has dedicated Coding Test and MCQ modes, multi-screenshot questions, answers in over 10 programming languages and human-cadence auto-typing. ### Are there free Cluely alternatives? Fathom is free for meeting notes. For interviews, Solvro has a free trial of 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes with no card. ### How much does Cluely cost compared to Solvro?

Solvro Pro with unlimited Interview mode is $39 for one month, Pro+ with five models and Ultimate Solvro is $49, and the Sprint Pass is $29 for 7 days. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

Depending on what you need it for, one of these five may serve you better. ![LockedIn AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/lockedin-ai.webp) *LockedIn AI calls itself an interview and meeting AI copilot.* | Alternative | Best for | Pricing model | |---|---|---| | Solvro | Live interviews and coding tests | Subscription or a 7-day pass, free trial | | Cluely | Sales calls and meetings | Subscription | | Jobright | Automated job applications | Free tier and subscription | | Final Round AI | A large set of job-search tools | Subscription | | Parakeet AI | Paying per interview | Credits, subscription or one-time | ## LockedIn AI's pricing ![LockedIn AI pricing page](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/lockedin-ai-pricing.webp) *LockedIn AI's Professional plan: $119.99 monthly or $79.99 a month for 3 months.* LockedIn AI has a General and a Professional tier. General is $55 a month, or $40 a month paid quarterly; Professional is $119.99 a month, or $79.99 a month paid quarterly. Free usage is limited. ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop assistant for Windows and macOS that runs as its own window beside the call. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes that window from screen capture and recording. *Screenshot: Interview mode with the interviewer's question and the structured answer under it.* **Live interviews.** Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked, without you deciding when to trigger it. Answers are structured and drawn from your resume, the job description and your own instructions. **Coding and tests.** Coding Test and MCQ modes read the problem from screenshots (Ctrl+Shift+S, up to 20 per question) and answer in over 10 programming languages. Auto-typing types the solution with human timing. **Models.** Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. **Ultimate Solvro.** Solvro is the only alternative that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. Other tools, including LockedIn AI, are blocked by these environments. **Price against LockedIn AI.** | | Solvro | LockedIn AI | |---|---|---| | Monthly | Pro $39, Pro+ $49 | General $55, Professional $119.99 | | Quarterly (per month) | Pro $29, Pro+ $39 | General $40, Professional $79.99 | | Short-term | Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days | None | | Free | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | Limited free usage | | Runs as | Desktop app | Web app, Chrome extension or desktop app | **Try it before your next interview.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card.

Cluely ![How Cluely helps during a meeting](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/cluely.webp) *Cluely listens to the conversation and assists when you ask.* For sales interviews and sales calls, Cluely is a strong option. It gives real-time prompts, syncs documents so it can reference your material, integrates with Zoom and Salesforce, and recognises multiple languages and accents. It is aimed at sales, so features such as follow-up email generation and CRM sync matter less for other roles, and some analytics are still in development. See our [Cluely alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/cluely-alternatives) guide. ## 3. Jobright ![Jobright homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/jobright.webp) *Jobright automates job search and applications.* If you used LockedIn for its auto-apply features, Jobright does that job better. It matches jobs by skills rather than titles, filters out fake postings, tailors your resume for ATS systems, fills in forms and submits applications in bulk. Jobright Agent works like a round-the-clock job-search assistant, and its AI copilot adds company insights and referral connections. It does not help during interviews. ## 4. Final Round AI ![Final Round AI interview copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/final-round-ai.webp) *Final Round AI's interview copilot page.* Final Round AI is the closest like-for-like replacement, with the most tools in one place: - **Interview Copilot:** real-time transcription and guidance. - **AI Mock Interviews:** questions from your resume and the job description, with feedback. - **Resume Builder and Resume Analyzer.** - **Auto-apply agent.** - **Interview summaries** after each session. It is also expensive, with Plus at $148 a month. See [Final Round AI alternatives](https://solvro.in/compare/final-round-ai-alternatives). ## 5. Parakeet AI ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/lockedin-ai-alternatives/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI offers credits, subscriptions and lifetime access.* Parakeet AI lets you pay per interview with credits instead of subscribing, which suits someone with one or two interviews coming up. Answers are split into labelled sections, so you can find the key point quickly. Responses are a little slower than the fastest tools. See our [Parakeet AI comparison](https://solvro.in/compare/parakeet-ai-alternative). ## Which LockedIn AI alternative is right for you? **Our pick for most candidates is Solvro**, because it handles spoken questions, coding rounds and online assessments in one desktop app. The others fit narrower needs: - **Tech, finance or any interview with a coding or test round:** Solvro. - **Sales interviews and calls:** Cluely. - **Mass applications:** Jobright. - **Many job-search tools in one place:** Final Round AI. - **No subscription:** Parakeet AI, or Solvro's $29 Sprint Pass for a single week. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does LockedIn AI cost? LockedIn AI General is $55 a month or $40 a month paid quarterly; Professional is $119.99 a month or $79.99 a month paid quarterly. ### Is there a cheaper alternative to LockedIn AI?

In its web app, you share the interview tab with LockedIn AI rather than your whole screen; it also offers a desktop app for macOS and Windows. Solvro is a desktop app that runs outside the browser, and the operating system excludes its window from screen capture. ### Which LockedIn AI alternative is best for auto-applying to jobs? Jobright, which matches by skills, tailors resumes for ATS systems and submits applications in bulk. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often. Product names are trademarks of their owners; Solvro is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.* --- # Looking for a Parakeet AI alternative? Solvro and Parakeet compared URL: https://solvro.in/compare/parakeet-ai-alternative Updated: 2026-10-24 Parakeet AI is a capable desktop interview assistant, and many candidates start with it because they can buy a few credits instead of subscribing. The usual reasons people look elsewhere: answers wait for a click by default, sessions are capped at an hour per credit, and unlimited use costs $149.90 a month. ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/parakeet-ai-alternative/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI's homepage.* ## Why candidates look for a Parakeet AI alternative - **The answer waits for you.** In Parakeet's app you press **AI Answer** to get a response, and the answer takes a moment to appear after that. In a tense interview, that click and the wait that follows are both noticeable. - **Time-boxed credits.** One credit is one hour of interview. That is fine for a single call, but awkward when you do not know how long a loop or a coding challenge will run. - **The monthly price.** Unlimited use is $149.90 a month on monthly billing, against $39 for Solvro Pro with unlimited Interview mode. Pro+ adds Claude models and Ultimate Solvro at $49. - **Setup.** You start Parakeet on the web and then link it to the desktop app, and several tutorial videos explain how. ![Parakeet AI's web app during a session](https://solvro.in/images/guides/parakeet-ai-alternative/parakeet-ai-web-app.webp) *Parakeet AI's session view with the transcript and the AI Answer button.* ## Solvro vs Parakeet AI at a glance | | Solvro | Parakeet AI | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app (Windows, macOS) | Desktop app (Windows, macOS) or web app in Chrome | | Answering in interviews | Automatic as each question is asked | After you click AI Answer, or automatic if enabled | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume, job description, extra instructions | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models, chosen per session | | Coding questions | Hotkey capture, up to 20 screenshots, 10+ languages, auto-typing | Manual screenshot | | Controls | Reassignable global hotkeys | Mouse | | Spoken languages | English interviews | 50+ languages | | After the interview | Conversation history in the session | Interview report | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Pricing | Subscription or $29 7-day pass | Credits, subscription or one-time | Parakeet AI is the better fit if you interview in a language other than English or want a written report after each call. Solvro is the better fit if you want answers without clicking, a keyboard shortcut for everything, and real coding support. ## Real-time answers Solvro's Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as soon as it is asked. There is nothing to press, so your hands and eyes stay on the call. If you want a fresh take, Ctrl+Shift+N marks a new question. *Video: Answers arrive as the interviewer finishes the question.* Pick the model to suit the moment: the Gemini models are fastest, while Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 reason more deeply. Ctrl+Shift+M switches between them mid-interview. ## Coding assessments Parakeet takes a manual screenshot. Solvro's Coding Test mode is built around the keyboard: Ctrl+Shift+S captures each page of the problem into a queue (up to 20), Ctrl+Enter sends them as one question, and the answer gives the approach, the complexity and the code in your chosen language. Ctrl+Shift+T then types the solution into the editor with human timing instead of pasting it. *Screenshot: A C++ solution returned in Coding Test mode.* ## Pricing ![Parakeet AI pricing page](https://solvro.in/images/guides/parakeet-ai-alternative/parakeet-ai-pricing.webp) *Parakeet AI's credit packs: $59 for 3, $118 for 6 plus 2 free, $177 for 9 plus 6 free. One credit is a one-hour session.* Parakeet AI sells credits that never expire: one credit is a one-hour interview session, $38 on its own or $59 for three. There is also an unlimited subscription at $149.90 a month or $449.90 a year, and a lifetime option. Solvro is a subscription, plus a pass for a single interview week: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months). Gemini models and every mode, including unlimited Interview mode and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it. - Pro+: $49 for one month, or $39 a month for three months ($117 billed once for three months. You save $30). All five models, every mode, and unlimited Ultimate Solvro time. - Eternal Pass: $29 a month ($348 once. You save $240). All Pro+ features for a year. - Sprint Pass: $29 once for 7 days, no subscription. All Pro+ features. - Prices are in USD; customers in India are charged the rupee equivalent. If you have one or two interviews this week, compare Parakeet's credits with Solvro's $29 Sprint Pass, which covers seven days of every mode and model.

Everything else is shortcuts, which you can reassign. Support is by email at support@solvro.in. Our [step-by-step setup guide](https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot) takes about twenty minutes. ## Our verdict **For most candidates, Solvro is the better choice.** - Interview mode answers automatically; there is no AI Answer button to press. - Keyboard shortcuts for everything, and a coding workflow with up to 20 screenshots and auto-typing. - Pro+ at $49 a month, against $149.90 for Parakeet AI's unlimited plan. **Parakeet AI may still suit you if** you have only one or two calls and want to buy single credits, or you interview in another language. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is better, Solvro or Parakeet AI?

It runs in the browser with a Chrome extension, as a desktop app for Windows and macOS, and on iPhone, and its desktop app now adds screenshot capture, hotkeys and a stealth mode. Here is how it compares with Solvro on coding, controls, languages and price. ![Verve AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/verve-ai-alternative/verve-ai.webp) *Verve AI's homepage.* ## Solvro vs Verve AI: core features | | Solvro | Verve AI | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app (Windows, macOS) | Web app with a Chrome extension, desktop app (Windows, macOS) and iPhone | | Automatic question detection | Yes | Yes | | Behavioural, technical and coding rounds | Yes | Yes | | Personalised answers | Resume, job description, extra context, instructions | Resume and job description | | Coding questions | Up to 20 screenshots per question | 1 screenshot at a time | | Controls | Reassignable global hotkeys | Clicks in the browser; hotkeys such as Ctrl+K in the desktop app | | Programming languages | 10+ | 20+ | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | 20+, some Pro-only | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Spoken languages | English | 35+, no bilingual interviews | Verve AI started in the browser, and its earlier setup ran through a Chrome extension. Its desktop app for Windows and macOS now adds Snap & Solve screenshots, hotkeys and a stealth mode, features Verve says are only in the desktop app. ## Screen sharing How Verve AI behaves in a screen share depends on which version you run. **In the browser,** the extension is pinned to the toolbar and you click it to generate answers. ![Verve AI's Chrome extension during a coding question](https://solvro.in/images/guides/verve-ai-alternative/verve-ai-extension.webp) *Verve AI's coding copilot asks you to click the extension to capture the question.* Its own setup guide asks you to share a single browser tab and warns against choosing "Window" or "Entire Screen". ![Verve AI's setup warning about screen sharing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/verve-ai-alternative/verve-ai-share-warning.webp) *Verve AI's interview copilot setup: make sure the meeting runs in a browser tab, and do not share Window or Entire Screen.* In a reviewer's test of the browser setup with the whole screen shared, the extension icon, the sharing bar and the answer panel were all visible to the other side. ![A screen-share test of Verve AI](https://solvro.in/images/guides/verve-ai-alternative/verve-ai-screen-share.webp) *A reviewer's screen-share test of Verve AI, with the visible elements marked.* **On the desktop,** Verve AI has a stealth mode that it says keeps the app visible only to you during screen sharing. Solvro has a single setup: a desktop window outside the browser, and it sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes that window from screen capture and recording. Nothing is pinned to the browser and nothing needs clicking: Ctrl+Shift+S captures, Ctrl+Enter sends, Ctrl+Space hides. *Screenshot: Solvro beside a coding problem; it is a separate window, not part of the browser.* > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Coding interviews Verve's coding copilot takes one screenshot at a time. Solvro's Coding Test mode queues up to 20 captures and sends them as one question, which matters when a problem's description, examples and constraints sit on different screens. Answers include the approach and its complexity, then the code, which Ctrl+Shift+T can type into the editor with human timing. *Video: Coding Test mode from capture to answer.* ## Platforms ![Platforms Verve AI works with](https://solvro.in/images/guides/verve-ai-alternative/verve-ai-platforms.webp) *Verve AI lists the interview and meeting tools it works with.* Verve AI works with the main meeting and assessment platforms: in the browser through Google Chrome, and on the desktop beside Zoom, Amazon Chime, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex. Solvro runs beside any app or browser: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, HackerRank, LeetCode, CoderPad and more. ## Answer style Verve AI lets you pick answer length and tone in its Copilot Style settings. Solvro takes free-form custom instructions in Settings, for example "lead with a one-line answer, then three bullets", plus your resume, the job description and extra context such as a career change. ## Pricing Verve AI has a free plan with three 15-minute copilot sessions, and two paid tiers: | Verve AI | Monthly | Quarterly (per month) | Yearly (per month) | |---|---|---|---| | Standard (5 one-hour sessions a month) | $38.25 | $34 | $14.45 | | Pro (unlimited, sessions up to 90 minutes) | $59.50 | $51 | $25.50 | Solvro has no session caps on its plans: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

For most candidates, especially with a coding round, Solvro: up to 20 screenshots per question, no session caps, auto-typing and a shortcut for every action. Verve AI suits other languages and built-in mock interviews. ### Is Verve AI visible when I share my screen? It depends on the version. In the browser, Verve's setup guide asks you to share a single tab rather than a window or your entire screen. Its desktop app for Windows and macOS has a stealth mode that Verve says keeps it visible only to you during screen sharing. ### How much does Verve AI cost? Verve AI Standard (5 one-hour sessions a month) is $38.25 monthly, and Pro (unlimited) is $59.50 monthly, with lower per-month prices on quarterly and yearly billing. There is also a free plan with three 15-minute copilot sessions. ### Is Solvro a good Verve AI alternative for coding interviews? Yes. Solvro is a desktop app with a dedicated Coding Test mode, up to 20 screenshots per question, answers in over 10 programming languages and human-cadence auto-typing. ### Which is easier for beginners? Verve AI configures answer style through a visual dashboard.

It also costs $299 a month or $799 for lifetime access, and its conversation features need manual clicks. Here is how Solvro compares on the things that matter in a coding round. ![Interview Coder homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder.webp) *Interview Coder 2.0.* ## Solvro vs Interview Coder at a glance | | Solvro | Interview Coder | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app (Windows, macOS) | Desktop app (Windows, macOS) | | Screenshot capture | Hotkey, up to 20 captures per question | Hotkey | | Spoken follow-ups | Automatic in Interview mode | Start, Pause and Finish buttons | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Role and years of experience, set once | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Not specified | | History and follow-up chat | Yes, the conversation keeps context | No history; regenerate only | | Answer window | Fade, hide, move and scroll by shortcut | Movable, cannot be collapsed | | Auto-typing | Yes, human cadence, resumable | No | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | From $39 a month; $29 for 7 days | $299 a month (1,000 credits); $799 lifetime | ## Staying out of the share Both are desktop apps that keep their window off a screen share. Interview Coder lists its stealth features in detail: hidden from the Dock, the tray and Activity Monitor, click-through, and audio support. ![Interview Coder's list of undetectability features](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder-features.webp) *Interview Coder's undetectability feature list.* It also publishes a daily-tested list of the meeting and assessment platforms it works with. ![Interview Coder's tested platforms](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder-platforms.webp) *Interview Coder's list of platforms it tests against.* The weak spot is pop-ups. In a reviewer's test on a second laptop watching the screen share, opening Interview Coder's language picker showed the dropdown in the shared screen. ![Interview Coder's dropdown in a screen share](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder-screen-share.webp) *A reviewer's screen-share test: Interview Coder's language dropdown visible on the shared screen.* Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it avoids the problem of pop-ups by keeping everything on shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+L switches the programming language, Ctrl+Shift+M the model, Ctrl+Shift+Space the mode. Whatever tool you use, rehearse a full screen share before the real thing. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Reading the problem Both tools capture the screen with a hotkey. Solvro adds a queue: press Ctrl+Shift+S once for each screen of a long problem (up to 20), then Ctrl+Enter sends them as one question, with any extra context you typed. *Screenshot: Two captures of one problem waiting in Solvro's queue.* ## Talking with the interviewer Interview Coder's audio mode needs you to press **Start Interview**, **Pause** and **Finish** at the right moments; miss one and the AI may hear only half a question. Solvro's Interview mode transcribes continuously and detects each question on its own, so you never touch it while someone is talking. Ctrl+Shift+N marks a new question if you want a fresh answer. ## Personalisation and models Interview Coder asks for your role and years of experience once, from a short list such as "Software Engineer, 3 to 5 years", and does not say which model it uses. Solvro takes your resume, the job description, extra context such as a career change, and free-form custom instructions, for example "explain the approach in two lines before the code". You choose between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5: a fast Gemini model for a warm-up question, Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 for a hard dynamic programming problem. ## History and refining an answer Interview Coder keeps no chat history, so if an answer is not right, you can only regenerate it. Solvro keeps the conversation's context, so you can ask "now do it in O(1) space" or "explain why this handles duplicates", and Ctrl+R starts afresh when the next problem begins. ## Getting the code into the editor Solvro's auto-typing types the solution into whichever window you click, keystroke by keystroke with varied human timing, instead of pasting it. F8 stops it and Ctrl+Shift+Y resumes from the exact character where it stopped. *Screenshot: Secure auto-typing counting down before it types.* ## Pricing ![Interview Coder pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder-pricing.webp) *Interview Coder's Lifetime Pro plan on an earlier visit, at $899. It was $799 on 6 October 2026.* Interview Coder is a free download, but its AI features need a plan: Monthly Pro at $299 a month with 1,000 usage credits, or Lifetime Pro at $799 (listed at $1,598; it was $899 on an earlier visit). Either is a lot to pay for a job search that usually lasts a few months. Solvro is a subscription you can stop at any time, or a pass for one interview week: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

All Pro+ features for a year. - Sprint Pass: $29 once for 7 days, no subscription. All Pro+ features. - Prices are in USD; customers in India are charged the rupee equivalent. ## Our verdict **For most candidates, Solvro is the better choice**: it covers the whole interview loop, not just the coding round, for a fraction of the up-front cost. - Interview mode answers spoken follow-ups automatically, with no Start, Pause or Finish buttons. - Personalisation from your resume, the job description and custom instructions, not just a role and experience band. - Conversation history, so you can refine an answer instead of regenerating it. - $29 for an interview week or $49 a month, against $299 a month or $799 up front. **Interview Coder may still suit you if** you only face coding rounds and expect to be interviewing for many months. **Try Solvro on a real problem first.** Your first 10 answers are free.

For most candidates, Solvro: it answers spoken follow-ups automatically, personalises answers from your resume and the job description, keeps conversation history, and costs $29 for a week instead of $299 a month or $799 up front. Interview Coder suits long, coding-only searches. ### How much does Interview Coder cost? Interview Coder is a free download, but AI features need a plan: Monthly Pro at $299 a month with 1,000 usage credits, or Lifetime Pro at $799, listed at $1,598. Prices as of 6 October 2026. ### Can Solvro answer follow-up questions in a coding interview? Yes. Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each spoken question automatically, and the conversation keeps context so you can refine a coding answer. ### Can I use these tools beyond coding interviews? Yes. Both handle behavioural questions too. Solvro also has an MCQ mode for multiple-choice tests and a Query mode for anything else on screen. ### Which is faster? It depends on the model. In Solvro, the Gemini models return answers fastest, and you can switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 for harder problems. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

Its Interview Buddy adds live help, but it is a smaller part of the product. If you already have the interview, especially one with a coding test, a tool built for that stage will serve you better. ![AI Apply homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply.webp) *AI Apply's desktop app page.* ## What AI Apply's Interview Buddy does Interview Buddy listens to the interviewer, transcribes the question and suggests an answer, on desktop (Windows and macOS) and on mobile. ![AI Apply Interview Buddy desktop](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply-interview-buddy.webp) *AI Apply's Interview Buddy for desktop.* ![AI Apply works with meeting apps](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply-apps.webp) *Interview Buddy says it works with all meeting apps.* It handles general questions well enough: behavioural, culture fit and motivation. What it does not do is coding. There is no screenshot capture, no coding mode and no way to upload a file, so a HackerRank or CodeSignal assessment is outside its scope. ![AI Apply during a general interview question](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply-in-interview.webp) *Interview Buddy answering a general interview question.* ## Solvro vs AI Apply | | Solvro | AI Apply Interview Buddy | |---|---|---| | Main purpose | Live interviews and assessments | Applications, with interview help added | | General interview questions | Yes, answered automatically | Yes, answered automatically | | Coding interviews | Yes, Coding Test mode | No | | Multiple-choice tests | Yes, MCQ mode | No | | Screenshot questions | Yes, up to 20 per question | No | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Not described | | Custom prompt | Yes | No | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Not stated, not selectable | | Answer history | Full conversation context | Previous topic only | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | None | ## Coding and online assessments This is the biggest gap. If your process includes an online assessment, AI Apply cannot help with it. Solvro's Coding Test mode captures the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S (once per screen, up to 20), sends it with Ctrl+Enter, and returns the approach, complexity and code in over 10 programming languages. MCQ mode does the same for multiple-choice screens. *Video: Solvro's Coding Test mode on a LeetCode problem.* ## Personalisation and models AI Apply's interview assistant does not say which model it uses, and you cannot change the prompt. Its resume tools use ChatGPT-4o, with ChatGPT-5 on the Pro plan. Solvro answers from your resume, the job description, extra context and your own instructions, and you choose between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. ## Staying out of the share AI Apply's desktop page calls Interview Buddy undetectable, but its demo video shows the mobile version, and it does not explain how the desktop app stays out of a screen share. Solvro is specific: it sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it runs outside the browser. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Pricing ![AI Apply desktop pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply-pricing.webp) *AI Apply's Application Kit Pro: $29 monthly or $12 a month yearly.* AI Apply's desktop **Application Kit Pro** is $29 a month or $12 a month billed yearly; it includes an interview prep tool for practice. The live **Interview Buddy** is sold on mobile, weekly ($12.99 a week, about $65 a month) or yearly (about $9.60 a month). ![AI Apply mobile pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-apply-alternative/ai-apply-mobile-pricing.webp) *AI Apply's mobile Interview Buddy plans.* There is no free trial: you pay before you can try anything.

Solvro support is by email at support@solvro.in, and our [setup guide](https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot) walks through every step. ## Can you use both? Yes, and many candidates do. Use AI Apply to tailor resumes and send applications, and Solvro once the interviews and assessments arrive. ## Our verdict **For most candidates with an interview coming up, Solvro is the better choice.** AI Apply is built for the application stage; Solvro is built for the interview itself. - Coding Test and MCQ modes, where Interview Buddy has no coding or multiple-choice help. - Answers from your resume, the job description and your own instructions, with the whole conversation in context. - A free trial of 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, where AI Apply has none. **AI Apply may still suit you if** you are still applying and want resumes, cover letters and auto-apply in one place. **Got the interview? Try Solvro free.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup.

AI Apply is the better fit while you are still applying, for resumes, cover letters and auto-apply. ### Can AI Apply help with coding interviews?

Candidates usually move on for three reasons: its copilot runs in a browser tab, the coding assistant is not in the monthly plan, and it does not say which models it uses. ## Interview help ![Beyz AI's interview assistant](https://solvro.in/images/guides/beyz-ai-alternative/beyz-ai-interface.webp) *Beyz AI's interview assistant: the conversation on the left, suggested answers in the middle, a cheat sheet on the right.* Beyz AI listens during the interview and returns STAR-structured suggestions that follow the conversation. Reviewers note that on more specialised questions its answers can repeat themselves from one interview to the next. Solvro's Interview mode also listens and answers each question automatically, and draws on the resume, job description, extra context and custom instructions you set in Settings, so answers change with the role. *Video: Solvro's Interview mode answering as the interviewer finishes the question.* | | Solvro | Beyz AI | |---|---|---| | Automatic listening | Yes | Yes | | Structured answers | Yes, shaped by your custom instructions | STAR by default | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, instructions | Role and company from setup | | Runs as | Desktop app | Browser tab (desktop app on longer plans) | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Platforms | Any meeting or assessment app | Not listed | ## Coding interviews Beyz AI's interview and coding copilot work inside a single browser tab, so sharing your whole screen shows them.

Solvro compared URL: https://solvro.in/compare/interviewman-alternative Updated: 2026-10-24 InterviewMan is everywhere in video ads, and its yearly plan is among the cheapest in the category. It also asks you to press Assist for every answer, spreads itself across three different modes, and does not say which models it runs. Here is how Solvro compares. ## Quick comparison | | Solvro | InterviewMan | |---|---|---| | Modes of use | Desktop app | Desktop app, second device, or browser tab sharing | | Answers in interviews | Automatic as each question is asked | Click Assist (or its shortcut) for each answer | | Coding help | Coding Test mode, up to 20 screenshots, auto-typing | Coding support, lighter on coding | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume and job details | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Not stated | | Platforms | Windows and macOS | Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Chrome | | Spoken languages | English | Detects several languages | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | 20 minutes | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | From $39 a month | $30 a month, or $12 a month yearly | ## Three modes, three different risks ![InterviewMan's mode selection](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewman-alternative/interviewman-modes.webp) *InterviewMan's mode picker: desktop app, second device, or this device.* InterviewMan offers three ways to use it: 1. **Desktop app.** Runs outside the browser and markets more than 20 stealth methods, including WebRTC leak blocking and a masked process name. 2. **Second device.** Answers appear on a phone or tablet. Glancing away to another screen is easy for an interviewer to notice. 3. **Tab sharing.** You share the interview tab with InterviewMan's web app. If you are asked to share your whole screen, or the platform watches the active tab, this mode shows. ![InterviewMan's tab-sharing mode](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewman-alternative/interviewman-tab-mode.webp) *InterviewMan's tab-sharing mode asks you to choose what to share with its web app.* Solvro has one way to run: as a desktop window beside the call. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes the window from screen capture and recording, and it is driven by shortcuts you choose. *Screenshot: Solvro next to the work on screen, as its own window.* > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Getting answers In InterviewMan you press **Assist** (or its shortcut) to get each answer. That is one more thing to do while you are listening. Solvro's Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as soon as it is asked, using your resume, the job description and your instructions. Answers come in seconds; the Gemini models are fastest and Claude Opus 5 and Fable 5 go deeper. *Video: Answers arrive without a click.* ## Coding and technical rounds Both tools help with coding questions. Solvro's Coding Test mode is built for them: Ctrl+Shift+S captures each screen of a problem (up to 20), Ctrl+Enter sends them together, and you get the approach, complexity and code in over 10 languages. Ctrl+Shift+T then types the solution with human timing, and Ctrl+Shift+Y resumes from where it stopped if you interrupt it. ## Transparency about models InterviewMan does not say which models generate its answers. Solvro names them: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. You switch with Ctrl+Shift+M, and every plan lists what it includes. ## Pricing and trials ![InterviewMan pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewman-alternative/interviewman-pricing.webp) *InterviewMan's Monthly ($30) and Yearly ($12 a month) plans.* InterviewMan has two plans: $30 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144).

Here is how Solvro compares when your interviews include more than code. ![Ultracode AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ultracode-ai-alternative/ultracode-ai.webp) *Ultracode AI's homepage.* ## Solvro vs Ultracode AI at a glance | | Solvro | Ultracode AI | |---|---|---| | Interview types | Coding, MCQ, behavioural, technical discussion, anything on screen | Coding and system design | | Roles | Any | Software engineers and data scientists | | Input | Live audio, up to 20 screenshots, typed context | Mainly text and screenshots | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5, switch any time | Quick Mode by default, Reasoning Mode on request | | Resume personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume upload | | Explanations | Approach and complexity before the code | ThoughtFlow step-by-step breakdowns | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | From $39 a month; $29 for 7 days | $799 to $899 lifetime, by promotion (listed at $1,799) | ## Coding only, or the whole loop Ultracode AI covers coding and system design for engineering and data roles. It offers no help with behavioural questions such as "tell me about a time you handled conflict", so most loops leave you juggling two tools. Solvro covers the whole loop in one app. **Coding Test** and **MCQ** modes handle the online assessment, **Interview** mode handles the conversation, behavioural questions included, and **Query** mode explains anything else you capture. Ctrl+Shift+Space switches between them. *Video: Interview mode handling a spoken question.* ## Model quality on hard problems Ultracode starts in a light **Quick Mode** that is fast but often shallow on harder problems such as tree traversals or concurrency; you switch to **Reasoning Mode** by hand with a shortcut when the interview changes gear. ![Ultracode AI's modes](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ultracode-ai-alternative/ultracode-ai-modes.webp) *Switching Ultracode AI between its modes with a keyboard shortcut.* Solvro names every model and lets you choose: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. A Gemini model answers a warm-up question in a moment; Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 takes a hard dynamic programming problem. Ctrl+Shift+M switches between them. ## Answers that sound like you Both tools take a resume. Reviewers find Ultracode's answers still read like templates, recognising your background without weaving in your projects. Solvro uses your resume, the job description, extra context and free-form instructions in every Interview-mode answer, so a question about a past project draws on that project. ## On screen during the interview In a reviewer's test on Windows, Ultracode AI's icon stayed in the taskbar even with its window minimised, and its answer panel is opaque and fixed, covering part of the editor. ![Ultracode AI's taskbar icon](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ultracode-ai-alternative/ultracode-ai-taskbar.webp) *A reviewer's test: Ultracode AI's icon in the taskbar during a coding problem.* Solvro's window fades with Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[, hides instantly with Ctrl+Space, moves with the arrow shortcuts, and sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes it from screen capture and recording. *Screenshot: Solvro's overlay sits beside the problem and can be faded or hidden.* > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Pricing ![Ultracode AI pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ultracode-ai-alternative/ultracode-ai-pricing.webp) *Ultracode AI's lifetime offer: $899, normally $1,799.* Ultracode AI sells one plan: lifetime access, discounted from $1,799 by a countdown promotion (we have seen $899 and $799). That is a large up-front cost for a search that usually lasts a few months, and it covers coding rounds only. Solvro is a subscription you can stop at any time, or a pass for a single interview week: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

You save $30). All five models, every mode, and unlimited Ultimate Solvro time. - Eternal Pass: $29 a month ($348 once. You save $240). All Pro+ features for a year. - Sprint Pass: $29 once for 7 days, no subscription. All Pro+ features. - Prices are in USD; customers in India are charged the rupee equivalent. ## Our verdict **For most candidates, Solvro is the better choice**: one app for every round, without a $799 to $899 licence. - Behavioural, technical, multiple-choice and coding rounds, where Ultracode AI covers coding and system design only. - Live audio as well as screenshots, so spoken questions are answered too. - All five models, switchable at any time: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. **Ultracode AI may still suit you if** you only face coding rounds and like its ThoughtFlow explanations. **Try the whole loop in one app.** 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes.

Two things push candidates to look elsewhere: every plan caps how many live interviews you can use it in, and as a web app it lives in a tab you would have to switch to. ![InterviewBee homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewbee-alternative/interviewbee.webp) *InterviewBee's homepage: real-time talking points.* ## At a glance | | Solvro | InterviewBee | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Web app in a browser tab | | Automatic question recognition | Yes | Yes | | Behavioural, technical and coding | Yes, with Coding Test and MCQ modes | Yes | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume, work-experience stories | | Mock interviews | No | Yes, voice-based | | Live interview limits | None | 1 to 10 a month by plan | | Spoken language | English | English | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | From $39 a month; $29 for 7 days | Free, $39, $69 or $129 a month | ## Browser tab vs desktop app Online interviews and assessments are watched in four common ways: the screen share, a recording of the session, paste detection in the code editor, and tab-switch or focus-loss detection in the browser. InterviewBee shows its talking points in a separate browser tab, so reading them means switching tabs, which is exactly what focus detection looks for, and sharing your whole screen shows the tab. Solvro runs as a desktop window outside the browser. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and its auto-typing types code keystroke by keystroke with human timing rather than pasting it. *Screenshot: Auto-typing types into the editor instead of pasting.* > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Mock interviews: where InterviewBee is stronger ![InterviewBee mock interview](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewbee-alternative/interviewbee-mock-interview.webp) *InterviewBee's voice mock interview with AI talking points.* InterviewBee's voice mock interviewer is one of its best features: an AI interviewer asks questions, transcribes your answers and suggests talking points, with a performance report on paid plans. Solvro does not have a mock-interview mode. If rehearsal is what you need most, InterviewBee or a tool from our [AI interview prep guide](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-interview-prep-tools) will serve you better. Some users report trouble uploading a resume to start a mock session. InterviewBee also includes a question bank and job listings, though the listings are light on detail. ## The live interview Solvro's Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked, using your resume, the job description, extra context and your custom instructions. In the coding part of a round, Ctrl+Shift+S captures the problem (up to 20 screens), Ctrl+Enter sends it, and you get the approach, complexity and code in over 10 languages. *Video: Interview mode answering a live question.* You choose between Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. ## Pricing and limits ![InterviewBee pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviewbee-alternative/interviewbee-pricing.webp) *InterviewBee's Free, Starter ($39), Pro ($69) and Champion ($129) plans.* InterviewBee limits live interviews on every plan: | InterviewBee plan | Price | Live interviews a month | Mock interviews a month | |---|---|---|---| | Free | $0 | 1 (30 minutes) | 2 (15 minutes) | | Starter | $39 a month | 2 | 5 | | Pro | $69 a month | 5 | 10 | | Champion | $129 a month | 10 | 20 | Solvro's paid plans have no per-interview limits: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months). Gemini models and every mode, including unlimited Interview mode and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it. - Pro+: $49 for one month, or $39 a month for three months ($117 billed once for three months.

If you have a week packed with interviews, the $29 Sprint Pass covers all of them. ## Our verdict **For the live interview itself, Solvro is the better choice for most candidates.** - No cap on how many live interviews you can use it in. - Coding Test and MCQ modes for technical rounds and online assessments. - A desktop window outside the browser, so there is no tab to switch to. **InterviewBee may still suit you if** voice mock interviews are what you need most; it is stronger at practice. **Try Solvro on a practice call.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free.

InterviewBee is stronger for voice mock interviews. ### How much does InterviewBee cost? InterviewBee has a Free plan, Starter at $39 a month, Pro at $69 and Champion at $129. Each caps live interviews per month: 1, 2, 5 and 10 respectively. ### Does InterviewBee work during a full screen share?

Solvro is a desktop app that sets the OS content-protection flag. ### Does Solvro have mock interviews? No. Solvro is built for the live interview and the online assessment. For mock interviews, InterviewBee, Pramp or Big Interview are good options. ### Does Solvro limit the number of interviews? No. Solvro's paid plans have no per-interview cap.

That simplicity has limits. It needs the interview in a browser tab, its coding help stops at bullet points, and it does not remember the previous question. ![Interview Sidekick homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-sidekick-alternative/interview-sidekick.webp) *Interview Sidekick: interview assistance on autopilot.* ## Feature comparison | | Solvro | Interview Sidekick | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Web app (plus a mobile version) | | General interview answers | Yes, automatic | Yes | | Screenshot analysis | Any part of the screen, up to 20 captures | The shared browser tab, one at a time | | Full coding solutions | Yes, approach, complexity and code | Bullet-point outline | | Remembers earlier questions | Yes, until you start a new conversation | No | | Refine an answer | Yes, ask a follow-up | No | | Custom instructions | Yes | No | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Not stated, not selectable | | Spoken language | English | English | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | 2 minutes | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | From $39 a month; $29 for 7 days | $40 a month | ## Tab sharing vs a desktop window To connect, Interview Sidekick asks you to select the Chrome tab where the interview runs and share its audio. It does not offer sharing a window or the whole screen, and it lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet as its platforms. ![Interview Sidekick's connect step](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-sidekick-alternative/interview-sidekick-connect.webp) *Interview Sidekick's connect dialog: select your Chrome tab and share its audio.* ![Interview Sidekick's supported platforms](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-sidekick-alternative/interview-sidekick-platforms.webp) *Interview Sidekick lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.* Solvro is a separate desktop app, so it works beside Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex in their desktop apps as well as in a browser, and beside assessment platforms such as HackerRank, LeetCode and CoderPad. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Coding questions Interview Sidekick's screen analysis reads the shared tab and returns a short outline: approach, complexity, a walkthrough. You still write the code yourself. ![Interview Sidekick answering a coding question](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-sidekick-alternative/interview-sidekick-coding.webp) *Interview Sidekick's answer to a Two Sum problem: a bullet-point outline.* Solvro's Coding Test mode captures any part of the screen with Ctrl+Shift+S, up to 20 captures for one problem, and returns the approach, the complexity and complete code in over 10 languages. Auto-typing can then type it into the editor with human timing. *Screenshot: A complete solution in Solvro's Coding Test mode.* ## Follow-ups and context Interviews are conversations. When the interviewer says "going back to your last answer", Solvro still has it: the conversation keeps its context until you start a new one with Ctrl+R. If an answer is too short, you can ask for more. Interview Sidekick treats each question on its own. Solvro also takes free-form custom instructions in Settings, for example "lead with a one-line answer, then three bullets", along with your resume, the job description and extra context. Interview Sidekick has no prompt settings. ## Speed Interview Sidekick puts speed first, and its answers come back fast but general. Solvro lets you choose: the Gemini models for speed, Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 for depth, switched with Ctrl+Shift+M. ## Pricing Interview Sidekick is $40 a month with a 2-minute trial. Solvro starts with 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months). Gemini models and every mode, including unlimited Interview mode and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it. - Pro+: $49 for one month, or $39 a month for three months ($117 billed once for three months.

All Pro+ features for a year. - Sprint Pass: $29 once for 7 days, no subscription. All Pro+ features. - Prices are in USD; customers in India are charged the rupee equivalent. ## Our verdict **For most candidates, Solvro is the better choice.** - Full coding solutions with the approach and complexity, not bullet-point outlines. - It remembers earlier questions, so follow-ups make sense, and you can refine an answer. - A desktop app that works beside any app, not only a shared Chrome tab. - Custom instructions and five named models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. **Interview Sidekick may still suit you if** you want the simplest possible browser setup for conversational interviews. **Give it a proper try.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is better, Solvro or Interview Sidekick? For most candidates, Solvro: full coding solutions instead of outlines, memory of earlier questions, custom instructions, and a desktop app that works beside any app rather than only a shared Chrome tab. ### How much does Interview Sidekick cost? Interview Sidekick is $40 a month, with a 2-minute free trial. ### Does Interview Sidekick write full code? Its screen analysis returns a bullet-point outline of the approach rather than complete code. Solvro's Coding Test mode returns the approach, complexity and complete code. ### Which platforms does Interview Sidekick support? It lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, running in a Chrome tab. Solvro runs beside any meeting app or browser, and beside assessment platforms such as HackerRank, LeetCode and CoderPad. ### Do I pay extra for AI models with Solvro? No. The models your plan includes are covered by the subscription. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

The cost of that control is complexity during the one moment you least want it, a credit for every answer, and a browser tab the interview has to share. ![Interviews.Chat homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat.webp) *Interviews.Chat: interview prep and copilot.* ## At a glance | | Solvro | Interviews.Chat | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Web app; share the interview tab | | Answering | Automatic, one structured answer shaped by your instructions | Detailed, bullets, concise or STAR; two formats at once | | Listening | Automatic | Automatic or manual | | Coding | Hotkey capture of any screen area, up to 20 per question | Share the tab, capture, upload | | Custom instructions | Yes | No | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | 3 for the copilot, versions not stated | | Spoken languages | English | 32, chosen manually | | Pricing | Subscription or $29 7-day pass | Credits: 1 per answer, plus 1 per minute on Starter | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | 30 credits, 3-minute sessions | ## Staying out of the share Interviews.Chat's FAQ says its copilot is safe because it "doesn't join the meeting or notify anyone". That is true of any app, and it does not cover the cases that matter: being asked to share your whole screen, or a platform that watches which tab is active. The copilot runs in its own browser tab, so you would switch to it to read an answer. ![Interviews.Chat's FAQ on detection](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat-faq.webp) *Interviews.Chat's answer to whether an interviewer can detect the copilot.* Solvro runs outside the browser and sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. There is no tab to switch to. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Live interview copilot ![Interviews.Chat live copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat-copilot.webp) *Interviews.Chat's copilot with two answer formats side by side and the live transcript on the right.* Interviews.Chat shows two answer formats at once, each from a different model, with controls for text size, layout and listening mode. It is flexible, but there is a lot to look at mid-interview, and in automatic mode it can struggle to tell when the interviewer has finished a question. Solvro gives you one structured answer per question, shaped by the custom instructions you set beforehand (for example, "one-line answer, then STAR bullets"). Interview mode detects each question and answers it, using your resume and the job description. *Video: One answer per question, no buttons.* ## Coding copilot ![Interviews.Chat coding copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat-coding.webp) *Interviews.Chat's coding copilot: share the problem tab, capture, then upload.* In Interviews.Chat you share the tab with the problem, click the eye icon to capture, then upload. Because the AI and the problem are in different tabs, you switch back and forth while writing code. In Solvro, Ctrl+Shift+S captures whatever is on screen (press again for each extra page, up to 20) and Ctrl+Enter sends it. The answer appears in a window over the editor with the approach, complexity and code, and Ctrl+Shift+T can type it in with human timing. *Screenshot: Capturing a LeetCode problem with Ctrl Shift S.* ## Platforms and models ![Interviews.Chat platforms](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat-platforms.webp) *Interviews.Chat lists Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom.* Interviews.Chat lists Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Its copilot offers three models without naming versions, plus two more in mock interviews only. ![Interviews.Chat model list](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interviews-chat-alternative/interviews-chat-models.webp) *Interviews.Chat's model families: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and Mistral.* Solvro runs beside any meeting app or assessment platform and names its models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. ## Credits vs subscription Interviews.Chat is credit-based, and credits are spent per action, not per question. Regenerating an answer, viewing a second model's answer or a second format each costs another credit. | Interviews.Chat plan | Price | Credits | |---|---|---| | Free trial | $0 | 30 credits, 3-minute sessions | | Starter | $19 a month | 1,000 a month; 1 per minute and 1 per answer | | Booster | $29 a month | 1,000 a month; 1 per answer | | Pro (quarterly) | $23 a month | 1,000 a month; 1 per answer | Solvro's plans have no per-answer charge: - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

For most candidates, Solvro: one structured answer shaped by your instructions, a subscription or $29 week pass instead of a credit per answer, and screen capture without sharing a tab. Interviews.Chat suits interviews in other languages. ### How does Interviews.Chat pricing work? It uses credits: 1,000 a month on Starter ($19), Booster ($29) or Pro ($23 a month quarterly). Each answer costs a credit, Starter also charges a credit per minute, and regenerating or viewing another format or model costs more credits. ### Is Interviews.Chat free? There is a trial with 30 credits and 3-minute sessions. Solvro's free trial gives 10 answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode. ### Can Interviews.Chat be seen when I share my screen? Its copilot runs in a browser tab, so sharing your whole screen shows it and switching to it can trigger tab checks. Solvro runs outside the browser and sets the OS content-protection flag. ### Does Solvro support other interview languages? Interview mode transcribes English-language interviews. Interviews.Chat supports 32 languages if you interview in another language. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

The differences are in the details: how many screenshots a question can hold, how follow-ups are handled, what the trial really is, and what you pay. ![CTRLpotato homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ctrlpotato-alternative/ctrlpotato.webp) *CTRLpotato: the fastest way from uhh to you're hired.* ## At a glance | | Solvro | CTRLpotato | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app | Desktop app, plus a phone mirror on Pro | | Automatic question recognition | Yes | Yes | | Screenshots per question | Up to 20 | 2 on Lite | | Behavioural answers from your resume | Yes, with job description, extra context and instructions | Yes, with role, tone and rules | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Standard models on Lite; Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on Pro | | Spoken language | English | 10+ languages | | Auto-typing | Yes, human cadence | No | | Mock interviews | No | No | | Free trial | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes, no card | Pay first; refund if used fewer than 10 times | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | One-week pass | $29 | $39 | ## Seeing the answer Both are desktop apps that keep their window to your own screen. CTRLpotato also offers **Mobile Mirror** on Pro and the Sprint Pass: answers and controls on your phone. Reading from a phone is awkward on a small screen and easy for an interviewer to notice, and some coding platforms, such as Coderbyte, detect a second device. ![CTRLpotato's coding copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ctrlpotato-alternative/ctrlpotato-coding.webp) *CTRLpotato's answer window on a coding problem.* Solvro keeps everything on one screen. The window fades with Ctrl+Shift+] and Ctrl+Shift+[, hides with Ctrl+Space, and sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes it from screen capture and recording. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Coding problems Both tools let you pick your programming language and both do well on hard LeetCode-style problems. The difference is length: CTRLpotato's Lite plan attaches up to 2 screenshots to a question, while Solvro queues up to 20 with Ctrl+Shift+S and sends them together with Ctrl+Enter. Long problems with examples and constraints on separate screens fit in one question. *Screenshot: Two captures of a long problem queued in Solvro.* ## Follow-up questions Reviewers report that CTRLpotato sometimes misses a question, and that on follow-ups it can contradict an earlier answer or lose details from your resume. Solvro's Interview mode keeps the conversation's context until you start a new one with Ctrl+R, so a follow-up builds on the previous answer, and every answer draws on your resume, the job description and your instructions. *Video: Interview mode answering a follow-up in context.* ## Pricing ![CTRLpotato pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ctrlpotato-alternative/ctrlpotato-pricing.webp) *CTRLpotato's Lite ($29 a month), Pro ($59 a month quarterly) and Sprint Pass ($39 once) plans.* | CTRLpotato plan | Price | Notes | |---|---|---| | Lite | $29 a month | Standard models, 30 hours of transcription, 2 screenshots per question | | Pro | $69 a month, or $59 a month billed quarterly ($177) | Live Coach, Mobile Mirror, premium models | | Sprint Pass | $39 once | Everything in Pro for 7 days | CTRLpotato's "free trial" asks for payment up front; if you use it fewer than ten times, you can ask support for a refund.

It works for some people, but recent reviews describe a slow extension, inaccurate suggestions and sessions that will not start, and an extension lives inside the very browser an interview platform is watching. Here are five alternatives, each strong at something different. ![Recent JobJump reviews](https://solvro.in/images/guides/jobjump-alternatives/jobjump-reviews.webp) *Recent JobJump reviews on the Chrome Web Store.* | Alternative | Best for | Live help | Free option | |---|---|---|---| | Solvro | Live interviews and coding tests | Yes | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes | | Google Interview Warmup | Quick question practice | No | Was free (retired 2026) | | Final Round AI | Mobile and desktop copilot plus prep | Yes | Limited Basic plan | | AI Apply | Applications and resumes | Limited | No | | Interviews.Chat | Many tools in one place | Yes | 30 credits | ## 1. Solvro Solvro is a desktop app for Windows and macOS rather than a browser extension. It runs outside the browser, and it sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. It has three core jobs: - **Live interviews:** Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked, from your resume and the job description. - **Coding interviews and online assessments:** Coding Test mode captures the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S (up to 20 screens), sends it with Ctrl+Enter, and returns the approach, complexity and code in over 10 languages, with human-cadence auto-typing. - **Everything else:** MCQ mode for multiple-choice screens and Query mode for anything you capture or type. *Video: Coding Test mode from capture to answer.* - **Strengths:** live help across the whole loop, keyboard-driven, named models (Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5), and the only tool with Ultimate Solvro that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop and proctored environments. - **Trade-offs:** English interviews only, no mock-interview mode, desktop only. - **Price:** Pro with unlimited Interview mode $39 for one month; Pro+ with five models and Ultimate Solvro $49; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days. **Try the desktop alternative.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card.

A useful assistant has to handle all five without you switching tools. ## What to look for | Quality | Why it matters for engineers | |---|---| | Accurate code | Wrong code under time pressure is worse than no code. | | Explanations | You have to talk through the approach, not just paste it. | | Multi-screen problems | Assessment problems spread across several screens. | | Follow-ups | "What if the input doesn't fit in memory?" needs an answer too. | | Your background | Behavioural and project questions should draw on your own work. | | Keyboard control | Mouse movements and tab switches are what platforms watch. | Solvro was built around this list. It is a desktop app for Windows and macOS with four modes, **Coding Test**, **MCQ**, **Interview** and **Query**, switched with Ctrl+Shift+Space. It also has **Ultimate Solvro** that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. ## Round 1: the online assessment HackerRank, CodeSignal, Codility and similar platforms give you 60 to 120 minutes for two to four problems, often with multiple-choice sections. - **Coding problems:** Ctrl+Shift+S captures the problem; press it again for each screen of examples and constraints (up to 20), then Ctrl+Enter. You get the approach, the time and space complexity, and the code in your language. - **Multiple choice:** MCQ mode returns the right option from a capture. - **Typing it in:** Ctrl+Shift+T types the solution into the editor keystroke by keystroke with human timing instead of pasting it; F8 stops and Ctrl+Shift+Y resumes where it stopped. *Video: Coding Test mode on a LeetCode problem.* ## Round 2: the phone or video screen A recruiter or engineer asks about your background and a couple of technical questions. Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked, drawing on the resume, job description and extra context you set in Settings. Add custom instructions such as "answer in two sentences, then one example from my resume" to keep answers short enough to say aloud. ## Round 3: live coding Live coding is where the conversation and the code overlap. Capture the problem in Coding Test mode, read the approach first, and talk it through before you write. When the interviewer asks "can you do better than O(n log n)?", Interview mode hears the question; the conversation keeps its context, so the follow-up builds on the solution you already have. Ctrl+R starts fresh for the next problem. *Screenshot: The approach and code arrive together, so you can explain before you type.* ## Round 4: system design System design is a discussion, not a puzzle. Interview mode answers spoken prompts ("design a URL shortener", "how would you scale this to 10x traffic?") with a structured outline: requirements, estimates, components, data model, trade-offs. If a diagram is on screen, capture it in Query mode and ask about it. Switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M for deeper reasoning on design trade-offs. ## Round 5: behavioural Behavioural rounds reward specific stories. Interview mode builds STAR-shaped answers from your own resume and extra context, such as the outage you handled or the migration you led, instead of generic templates. Use the answer as notes and tell the story in your own words. *Screenshot: A behavioural answer built from the candidate's own resume.* ## Know the rules Policies on AI differ. Some hiring platforms publish what is allowed. Mercor's LLM policy, for example, lets candidates use language models to polish grammar and phrasing as long as the ideas are their own. ![Mercor's LLM usage policy](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-software-engineers/mercor-llm-policy.webp) *Mercor's published LLM usage policy for candidates.* Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help during the test itself. Read the instructions for each round. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## How engineers prepare with Solvro 1. **A week out:** add your resume, the job description and a few project stories as extra context. Paste the job description into Query mode and ask for the likely technical topics. 2. **Practice:** solve a few LeetCode problems in Coding Test mode, choose your default language, and learn the five main shortcuts. 3. **Rehearse:** run a mock call with a friend; share your whole screen and check what they see. 4. **On the day:** start Interview mode before you join, and keep the window faded beside your editor. Solvro Pro covers Coding Test, MCQ, Query and unlimited Interview mode; Pro+ adds the Claude models and Ultimate Solvro. - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months). Gemini models and every mode, including unlimited Interview mode and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it. - Pro+: $49 for one month, or $39 a month for three months ($117 billed once for three months. You save $30). All five models, every mode, and unlimited Ultimate Solvro time. - Eternal Pass: $29 a month ($348 once. You save $240). All Pro+ features for a year. - Sprint Pass: $29 once for 7 days, no subscription. All Pro+ features. - Prices are in USD; customers in India are charged the rupee equivalent. **Run your next LeetCode problem through it.** 10 answers free, no card.

Over 10, including Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, Go and more. Set your default in Settings or switch with Ctrl Shift L. ### Can Solvro help with system design interviews? Yes. Interview mode answers spoken system design prompts with a structured outline, and Query mode explains diagrams you capture from the screen. ### Does Solvro work on HackerRank and CodeSignal? Solvro runs as a separate desktop app beside any assessment platform, including HackerRank, CodeSignal, LeetCode and CoderPad. Check each platform's rules before using it. ### Is there a free trial? Yes: 10 AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode, with no card. --- # An AI interview assistant for product manager interviews URL: https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-product-managers Updated: 2026-10-24 A product manager loop swings between modes faster than any other: a product design question, then a metrics deep-dive, then "how would you explain an API to an engineer?", then a story about a launch that went wrong. A useful assistant has to switch with you, and sound like a product person with your experience rather than a textbook. ## What PM interviews test | Round | Typical question | What a good answer needs | |---|---|---| | Product sense | "Design a product for remote teams." | Users, pain points, prioritised solutions, a clear recommendation | | Execution and metrics | "Engagement dropped 10% last week. What do you do?" | A structured diagnosis, the right metrics, a decision | | Strategy | "Should we enter this market?" | Market, competition, moats, risks, a call | | Technical | "How does a recommendation system work?" | Enough depth to earn engineers' trust, plus trade-offs | | Estimation | "How many rideshare trips happen in your city daily?" | Clear assumptions and arithmetic said aloud | | Behavioural | "Tell me about a launch that failed." | A specific STAR story from your own career | ## How Solvro fits each round Solvro's Interview mode transcribes the conversation and answers each question as it is asked. What makes it work for PMs is the setup: - **Your resume and extra context** supply the launches, metrics and stakeholder stories, so behavioural answers are your own. - **The job description** tells it which product area, users and metrics matter for this role. - **Custom instructions** shape every answer. For PM loops, something like: "Lead with a one-line recommendation. Then structure: users, problem, options, prioritisation, metrics. Keep each point under 15 words." *Screenshot: An Interview-mode answer laid out as a recommendation with supporting points.* For technical rounds, switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M for deeper explanations of systems and trade-offs. If you are shown a wireframe, a dashboard or an architecture diagram, capture it with Ctrl+Shift+S and ask about it in Query mode. For estimation questions, ask for the assumptions as a short list, then do the arithmetic aloud yourself; interviewers care more about the reasoning than the number. ## Comparing assistants for PM interviews | Assistant | Strength for PMs | Watch out for | |---|---|---| | Solvro | Answers from your resume and instructions; deep models for technical rounds; a coding mode if the loop includes SQL or a technical screen; the only tool with Ultimate Solvro for proctored assessments (Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio) | English interviews only; no mock-interview mode | | Final Round AI | Realistic mock interviews with PM-specific questions | Expensive monthly; strict no-refund policy | | LockedIn AI | Good document upload for resume and case studies | Pricey for what it offers | | InterviewMan | Cheap and uncapped | Light on product depth; its tab-sharing mode shows in a full screen share | | Parakeet AI | Simple desktop app | Credits run out fast across long loops | | InterviewBee | Voice mock interviews for practising tone | 2 to 5 live interviews a month on lower tiers | ![InterviewMan's tab-sharing mode](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-product-managers/interviewman-tab-mode.webp) *InterviewMan's tab-sharing mode asks which tab to share with its web app.* ## What the tools cost | Assistant | Monthly | Longer billing (per month) | |---|---|---| | Solvro Pro+ | $49 | $39 quarterly; Eternal Pass $29 yearly | | Final Round AI | $148 | $96 quarterly, $81 semi-annually | | LockedIn AI (Professional) | $119.99 | $79.99 quarterly | | InterviewMan | $30 | $12 yearly | | Parakeet AI | $149.90 | $449.90 a year; credits from $59 | | InterviewBee | $39 to $129 | Capped live interviews | ![Parakeet AI pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-product-managers/parakeet-ai-pricing.webp) *Parakeet AI's credit packs and unlimited subscription.* Credit-based tools look cheap until a loop has five rounds.

Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can an AI interview assistant handle product sense questions? Yes. Solvro's Interview mode structures an answer around users, problems, options and metrics, and your custom instructions control the framework it uses. ### How do I make answers sound like my own experience? Add your resume, the job description and a few specific stories as extra context in Settings. Interview answers draw on them instead of generic examples. ### Does Solvro help with technical PM questions? Yes. Switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 for deeper technical explanations, and capture diagrams or dashboards to ask about them in Query mode. ### Why not just use ChatGPT on my phone? Looking down at a phone breaks eye contact, and you would have to type the question. Solvro hears the question itself and shows the answer in a window you can place near your camera. --- # An AI interview assistant for data science interviews URL: https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-data-scientists Updated: 2026-10-24 Data science interviews may be the widest of all. In one loop you can be asked to write a SQL window function, explain the bias-variance trade-off, design an A/B test with the right sample size, pick a model for a business problem and tell the story of a project that changed a decision. Most tools are good at one of those. Here is how to cover all of them. ## The rounds in a data science loop | Round | Typical question | What helps | |---|---|---| | SQL and Python | "Find each user's second purchase." | Correct code, explained clearly | | Statistics and probability | "What is a p-value, and when would you not trust one?" | Precise, plain-language definitions | | Experimentation | "Design an A/B test for a new checkout flow." | Hypothesis, metric, MDE, power, pitfalls | | Machine learning | "How would you build a churn model?" | Framing, features, model choice, evaluation | | Product case | "Engagement is down 8%. Why?" | A structured diagnosis and the right metrics | | Behavioural | "Tell me about a time your analysis changed a decision." | A specific story from your own work | ## Kinds of tools, and what each misses - **Practice coaches** (for example, Hedy AI) are good for rehearsing explanations aloud before the interview, but they cannot help when you are stuck on a live SQL question. - **Browser-based copilots** (for example, Sensei AI and Interview Sidekick) handle conversational and behavioural questions well, but as browser tabs they appear if you share your whole screen to walk through a notebook or slides. - **Domain tools** focused on product analytics give good A/B testing and metrics frameworks, but they are lighter on ML engineering. - **Desktop copilots** such as Solvro run outside the browser and cover both the code and the conversation. Solvro is also the only tool with Ultimate Solvro that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop and proctored environments. ![Sensei AI's tab-based copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-data-scientists/sensei-ai-copilot.webp) *Sensei AI's copilot runs in a browser tab beside the interview.* ![Parakeet AI's web session](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-data-scientists/parakeet-ai-web-app.webp) *Parakeet AI's session view, started from the web before linking the app.* ## How Solvro covers each round **SQL and Python.** Coding Test mode reads the question from a capture (Ctrl+Shift+S, up to 20 screens for schemas and examples) and returns the query or code with an explanation. Set SQL or Python as your default language, or switch with Ctrl+Shift+L. *Screenshot: A worked solution with its explanation in Coding Test mode.* **Statistics, experimentation and ML.** Interview mode hears the question and answers it as you talk. Custom instructions keep answers interview-ready, for example: "Define the concept in one sentence, give the intuition, then one pitfall. For experiments, always cover hypothesis, primary metric, guardrails, MDE and sample size." Switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M for deeper maths. **Product cases.** Interview mode structures a diagnosis: check the data first, segment, form hypotheses, choose metrics, recommend. **Notebooks and charts.** If you are shown a plot or a results table, capture it and ask in Query mode what stands out and what to ask next. **Behavioural.** Add your resume and a few project stories as extra context, and Interview mode builds STAR answers from your own work. *Video: Interview mode answering a question during the conversation.* ## Preparing with Solvro 1. **Context:** resume, job description and three project stories with real numbers. 2. **Predict:** paste the job description into Query mode and ask for likely SQL, statistics and case questions for this team. 3. **Drill:** run SQL and Python problems through Coding Test mode to learn the flow, then solve them yourself. 4. **Rehearse:** run a mock with a friend, sharing your screen as you would to walk through a notebook, and check what they see. 5. **On the day:** start Interview mode before joining. - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

Coding Test mode answers SQL questions from a screenshot, along with Python and over 10 other languages. Set SQL as your default or switch with Ctrl Shift L. ### Does Solvro help with statistics and A/B testing questions? Yes. Interview mode answers spoken statistics, experimentation and ML questions, and custom instructions make sure answers cover hypothesis, metrics, sample size and pitfalls. ### What if I need to share my screen to walk through a notebook? Solvro is a desktop app that sets the OS content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture. Browser-based copilots appear in a full screen share. ### Which model should I use for data science? Claude Opus 5 and Fable 5 are strongest on maths and ML reasoning; the Gemini models are fastest for quick definitions. --- # An AI interview assistant for consulting case interviews URL: https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-consultants Updated: 2026-10-24 Consulting interviews are unlike engineering or product loops. A case is a conversation in which you build a structure, test hypotheses, read exhibits and do maths out loud, all while a partner probes your reasoning. Fit questions then test whether your stories hold up under follow-up. Here is how an AI assistant can help with each part. ## The consulting interview process 1. **Online assessments.** Game-based or digital tests such as McKinsey Solve or BCG Casey, plus video screens. These are timed and proctored, and an interview copilot is not the right tool for them; practise with the official samples. 2. **First-round cases.** Interviewer-led or candidate-led cases on market sizing, profitability, market entry, pricing or M&A. 3. **Final rounds.** Ambiguous partner cases with sharper pushback, plus deep fit interviews. ## What to look for in a consulting assistant | Need | Why it matters | |---|---| | Structured, MECE answers | A clean issue tree is the first thing interviewers judge. | | Help with exhibits | Charts and tables arrive on screen mid-case. | | Quick, checkable maths | Market sizing and break-even arithmetic must be right and said aloud. | | Your own stories | Fit answers have to survive "and what did you personally do?" | | Speed | Case dialogue moves fast; a long silence is noticeable. | ## How Solvro helps in a case **Structuring.** Interview mode hears the case prompt and returns a structured approach. Use custom instructions to make it think like a consultant, for example: "Start with a one-line hypothesis. Then a MECE structure of three to four branches, each with two questions to test. No more than 60 words." *Screenshot: A structured answer laid out as points you can speak to.* **Exhibits.** When a chart or table is shared, capture it with Ctrl+Shift+S and ask in Query mode: "What are the two most important insights, and what should I ask next?" **Maths.** Ask for the calculation as steps with stated assumptions, then do the arithmetic aloud yourself. Interviewers grade the reasoning as much as the number. **Depth.** For a hard strategy or M&A case, switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M. **Fit questions.** Add your resume and three or four stories as extra context: leadership, impact, conflict, a setback. Interview mode builds STAR answers from them, so follow-up questions have real detail to draw on. ## Comparing assistants for consulting | Assistant | Strength for consultants | Watch out for | |---|---|---| | Solvro | Structured answers shaped by your instructions; exhibit analysis from screenshots; stories from your resume; the only tool with Ultimate Solvro for proctored assessments (Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio) | English interviews only; no mock-case mode | | LockedIn AI | Real-time coaching and post-call scoring | Slower transcription can leave silences; expensive at the top tier | | Final Round AI | Large bank of company-specific behavioural questions | Little consulting-framework customisation; $148 a month on monthly billing | | Beyz AI | Easy setup, multi-language transcription | Accuracy drops on multi-step quantitative work; tab-based | | Interview Sidekick | A large question bank and post-call summaries | Lag reported; tab-based | | Google Interview Warmup | Free practice for speaking pace | Retired in 2026; no case logic | ![Interview Sidekick's real-time assistance page](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-consultants/interview-sidekick.webp) *Interview Sidekick markets real-time assistance for consulting and other roles.* ![Beyz AI's interview assistant](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-consultants/beyz-ai.webp) *Beyz AI's assistant view with a cheat sheet panel.* ## A case prep routine with Solvro 1. **Context:** add your resume, the firm and office in the job description, and your fit stories as extra context. 2. **Instructions:** write the structure you want answers in (hypothesis first, MECE branches, next questions). 3. **Practice cases:** run cases from a casebook with a friend as interviewer; use Solvro's structure as a check on your own, not as a script. 4. **Exhibits:** practise reading charts by capturing them and comparing Solvro's insights with yours. 5. **On the day:** start Interview mode before the video call, and keep the window faded near your camera. - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

"Walk me through a DCF" has a right answer, "how do the three statements link?" has a precise one, and a quant screen can include a probability puzzle and a coding test in the same hour. A useful assistant has to be exact on technicals, quick on mental maths and grounded in your own deals and projects. ## What finance interviews ask | Area | Typical question | What a strong answer needs | |---|---|---| | Accounting | "Depreciation goes up by $10. Walk me through the three statements." | Each step, in order, with the tax effect | | Valuation | "Walk me through a DCF. When would you not use one?" | The steps, the key assumptions, the limitations | | Deals and markets | "Pitch me a stock." "What happens to bond prices if rates rise?" | A thesis, catalysts, risks; clear intuition | | Quant | "Expected number of rolls to get two sixes in a row?" | The set-up and the working, said aloud | | Coding (quant and fintech) | A HackerRank or CodeSignal assessment | Correct code in Python or C++ | | Behavioural | "Why this firm? Tell me about a deal you worked on." | Specific, honest stories | ## How Solvro helps **Technicals.** Interview mode hears the question and returns a precise, stepwise answer. Custom instructions keep it interview-shaped: "Answer in the order an interviewer expects. Number the steps. Include the tax impact on accounting questions. Under 70 words." *Screenshot: A stepwise answer you can speak to.* **Exhibits and models.** If a chart, a set of financials or an LBO output is shared on screen, capture it with Ctrl+Shift+S and ask in Query mode what stands out. **Quant and probability.** Switch to Claude Opus 5 or Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M for careful reasoning, and ask for the set-up as well as the answer, so you can explain it. **Coding assessments.** Many quant and fintech roles open with a HackerRank or CodeSignal test. Coding Test mode reads the problem from screenshots and answers in Python, C++ or another of its 10+ languages; MCQ mode handles multiple-choice sections. **Deal stories and fit.** Add your resume, your deal sheet or project list and a few stories as extra context. Interview mode builds answers from them, so "walk me through a deal" draws on a deal you actually worked on. ## How five assistants compare for finance | Assistant | Strength | Watch out for | |---|---|---| | Solvro | Precise technicals shaped by your instructions; exhibit analysis; coding and MCQ modes for quant screens; the only tool with Ultimate Solvro for proctored assessments (Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio) | English interviews only; no mock interviews | | Final Round AI | Resume-anchored, STAR-formatted live suggestions; a new desktop stealth app | Strong models only on Pro or God mode; monthly plans non-refundable | | LockedIn AI | Feature-rich copilot | Setup can be unclear; high price | | Beyz AI | Accurate transcription, structured answers | Clunky interface; tab-based | | Interview Sidekick | Firm-specific question banks for practice | Response lag reported in live use | ![Final Round AI's stealth app](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-finance-professionals/final-round-ai-stealth-app.webp) *Final Round AI's Stealth App page.* Final Round AI's monthly plans are non-refundable, with a 72-hour money-back window on first-time quarterly and yearly purchases.

You cannot glance at notes without looking away from the camera, switching tabs is visible if you are sharing, and the session may be recorded. Freezing on a question feels longer on video. Here is how to set up an AI assistant so it helps in that setting rather than adding to it. ## What makes remote interviews different - **The camera.** Looking down at notes or a phone reads as distraction. Answers have to be readable near the lens. - **Screen sharing.** Technical rounds often ask you to share your screen; browser-tab tools and extensions show up in a full share. - **Silence.** On a call, a five-second pause feels like fifteen. Help has to arrive fast or not at all. - **Recording.** Many sessions are recorded for later review. ## What to look for | Quality | Why it matters remotely | |---|---| | Desktop app, not a tab or extension | A full screen share shows browser tabs and extensions | | Automatic answers | You cannot click around while on camera | | Speed | Silence is magnified on video | | Structured answers | Points you can glance at, not paragraphs to read | | Your own background | Remote interviewers probe for specifics | | Window control | Place it near the camera, fade it, hide it instantly | ## Where common tools fall short remotely Tab-based copilots such as Beyz AI work until you are asked to share your whole screen. ![Beyz AI's tab-based copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-remote-jobs/beyz-ai-copilot.webp) *Beyz AI's copilot runs in a browser tab.* Latency is the other problem: reviewers report that Final Round AI can take four to five seconds to transcribe and respond, which is a long silence on a call. ![Final Round AI's copilot](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-remote-jobs/final-round-ai-copilot.webp) *Final Round AI's copilot view during a practice question.* And model choice matters for answer quality. Parakeet AI's session settings list a handful of models. ![Parakeet AI's session settings](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-remote-jobs/parakeet-ai-models.webp) *Parakeet AI's session setup with its model list.* ## Setting up Solvro for a remote interview Solvro is a desktop app for Windows and macOS. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it runs outside the browser, beside Zoom, Teams, Meet or Webex. It also has a dedicated Ultimate Solvro that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. 1. **Add your context.** Resume, job description, extra context (strengths, a career change, a gap) and custom instructions such as "one-line answer, then three short bullets". 2. **Place the window.** Move it just under your camera with the arrow shortcuts, so reading it keeps your eyes near the lens. 3. **Fade it.** Use Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+] to set the lowest opacity you can still read. 4. **Learn the hide key.** Ctrl+Space hides it instantly. 5. **Start Interview mode** with Ctrl+Shift+A before you join. 6. **Rehearse once.** Practise with a friend on the same platform, share your whole screen, and ask what they see. *Screenshot: The overlay sits beside the work on screen and can be faded or hidden.* ## During the interview - **Conversation:** Interview mode transcribes the call and answers each question as it is asked. Read the first line, start talking, and use the bullets as memory joggers. - **Follow-ups:** the conversation keeps context, so "can you say more about that project?" builds on the last answer. - **Live coding:** if you are asked to solve a problem, capture it with Ctrl+Shift+S, send with Ctrl+Enter, and talk through the approach before you type. Auto-typing can type the code with human timing. - **Something on screen:** capture it and ask in Query mode. *Video: Interview mode during a video call.* ## Habits that matter more than any tool - Keep answers in your own words. Read a point, then say it the way you would. - Pause briefly before answering; it reads as thoughtful on camera. - Check your lighting and audio; the assistant hears the interviewer through your system audio, so use headphones to keep the transcript clean. - Keep a glass of water nearby. It buys a natural second when you need one. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. - Free trial: $0. 10 free AI answers, 10 minutes of Interview mode, and 15 minutes of Ultimate Solvro every time you open it, no card required. - Pro: $39 for one month, or $29 a month for three months ($87 billed once for three months).

Solvro runs as its own desktop app beside any meeting app or browser, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex. ### Will it show up if I share my screen? Solvro sets the operating system content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. No tool can promise this holds against every proctoring product, so rehearse a screen share first. ### How do I keep eye contact while reading answers? Move the Solvro window just under your camera with the arrow shortcuts and fade it with Ctrl Shift [ and ]. Read a point, then speak to the lens. ### Is there a plan for a single week of interviews? Yes. The Sprint Pass is $29 for 7 days with every mode and model, and it does not renew. --- # AI interview assistant: what it is and how it works URL: https://solvro.in/ai-interview-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 An AI interview assistant is a desktop app that listens to a live interview, reads what is on your screen and suggests an answer within seconds, in a window only you can see. This page explains how the technology works, what separates a good one from a gimmick, where the limits are, and how Solvro does it. ## What is an AI interview assistant? An AI interview assistant, also called an AI interview copilot or real-time interview helper, is software that runs beside a live interview or online assessment. It captures the question (by transcribing the interviewer's voice or by reading a screenshot), sends it to a large language model together with your resume and the job description, and shows a structured answer in an overlay on your own screen while the conversation is still going. Three kinds of products share the name, and they do different jobs: | Kind of tool | When it runs | What it does | Examples | |---|---|---|---| | Real-time interview assistant | During the real interview or test | Suggests answers, code and talking points live | Solvro, Final Round AI, LockedIn AI, Parakeet AI | | AI mock interview tool | Before the interview | Asks practice questions and scores your answers | Google Interview Warmup, Yoodli, Huru | | AI interviewer | Run by the employer | Interviews or screens candidates on the employer's behalf | HireVue, Mercor's AI interviewer | This page is about the first kind. For practice tools, see [the AI interview prep tools guide](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-interview-prep-tools). ## How a real-time interview assistant works Every real-time assistant runs the same loop. The quality of each step is what separates them. 1. **Capture.** The app hears the interviewer through your computer's system audio and transcribes it as they speak, or takes a screenshot of a question on screen. 2. **Detect the question.** It works out where a question starts and ends, so it answers the question rather than the small talk around it. 3. **Add your context.** Your resume, the job description and your own instructions travel with the question, so the answer can cite your projects and numbers. 4. **Generate.** A large language model writes a structured answer: a one-line point first, then short supporting bullets, or an approach, complexity and code for a programming problem. 5. **Display.** The answer appears in an overlay on your screen. A good assistant keeps that window out of screen shares and recordings, and lets you move, fade or hide it from the keyboard. In Solvro, steps one to five take a few seconds. Interview mode starts the loop from audio; Coding Test, MCQ and Query modes start it from a screenshot taken with Ctrl+Shift+S. *Video: Interview mode: the question is transcribed and answered while it is still being asked.* ## What it can help with Interviews come in several formats, and each needs a different input and a different kind of answer. | Format | What you need from an assistant | Solvro mode | Read more | |---|---|---|---| | Video interview on Zoom, Teams or Meet | Hear the question, answer in seconds | Interview | [Zoom, Teams and Google Meet](https://solvro.in/solutions/ai-interview-assistant-for-zoom-teams-google-meet) | | Behavioral round | STAR stories from your own experience | Interview | [Behavioral interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant) | | Online assessment | Read a coding problem or MCQ from the screen | Coding Test, MCQ | [Online assessments](https://solvro.in/solutions/online-assessment-assistant) | | Live coding | Approach, complexity, working code | Coding Test | [AI coding interview assistants](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant) | | System design | Structure, estimates, trade-offs | Interview, Query | [System design interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/system-design-interview-ai-assistant) | | One-way video (HireVue) | Read an on-screen question during prep time | Query, Interview | [HireVue and one-way video](https://solvro.in/solutions/hirevue-ai-interview-assistant) | | Desktop proctoring (Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop) | Work inside a locked-down browser or proctored environment that blocks other apps | Ultimate Solvro + any mode above | (this page) | ## AI interview assistant vs ChatGPT ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are excellent for preparation, and their free tiers cost nothing. In a live interview they run into practical problems that a dedicated assistant is built around. | | ChatGPT in a browser tab | A dedicated assistant like Solvro | |---|---|---| | Hears the interviewer | No, you type or paste the question | Yes, live transcription of system audio | | Reads a coding problem | Only if you upload a screenshot by hand | One shortcut captures the screen | | In a full-screen share | The tab is visible like any other window | The overlay is excluded from screen capture | | Knows your background | Only what you paste into each chat | Resume, job description and instructions saved once | | Hands on the keyboard | Clicking, typing, switching tabs | Every action has a shortcut | | Getting code into an editor | Copy and paste | Auto-typing with human timing, or type it yourself | If you only want to rehearse answers the night before, a general chatbot is enough; see [ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/chatgpt-for-interviews) for prompts that work. The dedicated tool earns its price during the call itself. ## What to look for in an AI interview assistant - **Speed.** An answer that arrives after you have started talking is no help. Look for answers within a few seconds. - **Personal context.** Generic answers are easy to spot. The assistant should use your resume and the job description. - **Modes for each format.** Conversation, coding problems and multiple-choice questions need different inputs and outputs. - **Screen-share behaviour.** A desktop app can keep its window out of a capture; a browser tab or extension cannot. - **Model choice.** Fast models for conversation, stronger reasoning models for hard problems. - **Keyboard control.** Clicking around on camera is visible. Everything should be reachable by shortcut. - **Desktop-proctoring support.** If your assessment uses Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft or HackerRank Desktop, or is monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio or Proctortrack, the assistant needs a mode that works inside the locked-down environment. Solvro is the only tool that ships Ultimate Solvro for this. - **A real free trial.** You should be able to test it in a mock call before paying. ## Solvro at a glance *Screenshot: The Solvro overlay beside a coding problem.

It is a desktop app that runs beside a live interview or online assessment, hears or reads each question, and shows a suggested answer within seconds in a window only you can see. Solvro does this with Interview, Coding Test, MCQ and Query modes. ### How does an AI interview assistant hear the question? Solvro transcribes your computer's system audio, which is where the interviewer's voice plays on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or Webex. No bot joins the call. For questions on screen, it reads a screenshot taken with Ctrl Shift S. ### Can the interviewer see an AI interview assistant? Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a normal screen share. Your camera still shows where you look, and no tool can promise it will never be noticed, so rehearse first and check the rules. ### Is an AI interview assistant better than ChatGPT? For preparation, ChatGPT is fine and often free. In a live call, a dedicated assistant hears the question, reads the screen with one shortcut, knows your resume and keeps its window out of the share, which a browser tab cannot do. ### Is there a free AI interview assistant? Solvro has a free trial of 10 AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode with no card. Paid plans start at $39 a month, and the Sprint Pass is $29 for 7 days. ### Does an AI interview assistant work inside Safe Exam Browser or Respondus LockDown Browser? Most AI interview assistants are blocked by locked-down browsers because they run as regular desktop windows. Solvro has Ultimate Solvro, which works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. It is the only AI interview assistant with this capability. ### Is it allowed to use an AI interview assistant? It depends on the employer and the platform. Many prohibit outside help in their terms, and breaking them can cost you an offer. Read the rules for each interview before you decide. --- # An AI online assessment assistant for coding tests and MCQs URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/online-assessment-assistant Updated: 2026-10-24 An online assessment, or OA, is the timed test many employers send before the first interview: coding problems, multiple-choice questions, sometimes SQL, debugging or aptitude sections. An AI online assessment assistant reads each question from your screen and returns an answer in seconds. Here is how that works in Solvro, question type by question type. ## What an online assessment looks like Most OAs arrive as a link with a deadline. Once you start, a timer runs for the whole test, and the questions come in a few standard shapes. | Section | What it asks | What is scored | |---|---|---| | Coding | One to four algorithm problems with hidden test cases | Tests passed, sometimes speed and code quality | | Multiple choice | Language features, output of a snippet, CS fundamentals | Correct answers | | SQL and data | Write a query against a given schema | Tests passed | | Debugging | Fix a function that fails its tests | Tests passed | | Aptitude | Numerical, logical or verbal reasoning | Correct answers within the time | Timers are usually tight, often 60 to 120 minutes for the whole test, and some sections cannot be revisited. That is why speed matters as much as accuracy in any assistant you use. ## How Solvro handles each question type Solvro is a desktop app, so it works the same way on any assessment site in any browser. Everything starts from a screenshot. ### Coding problems: Coding Test mode 1. Press Ctrl+Shift+S to capture the problem. Long statements that need scrolling can be captured in several parts, up to 20 captures in one request. 2. Press Ctrl+Enter to send. 3. Read the approach, the time and space complexity, and the code in your default language. *Screenshot: A LeetCode problem on screen, about to be captured with Ctrl Shift S.* *Screenshot: Two captures waiting in the queue, sent together as one question.* *Screenshot: The answer: an approach, its complexity and working code.* Set your default language in the app, or switch with Ctrl+Shift+L. Over 10 languages are supported, including Python, Java, C++ and JavaScript. ### Multiple-choice questions: MCQ mode Switch to MCQ mode with Ctrl+Shift+Space, capture the question and its options, and send. The overlay shows the answer. It works the same way for language trivia, snippet-output questions and aptitude items. ### SQL, debugging and everything else: Query mode Capture what is on screen, type what you want to know ("write the query", "why does this fail the third test?") and send. Query mode keeps the conversation, so you can ask a follow-up about the same screen. ## Platforms it works alongside Because Solvro runs outside the browser, it does not depend on the assessment site. **Ultimate Solvro** goes further: it works inside locked-down browsers and proctored environments where other assistants are blocked, including Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop. These are the platforms and proctoring tools candidates meet most often: | Platform | Typical use | Solvro modes | |---|---|---| | HackerRank | Coding, MCQ and SQL screening tests | Coding Test, MCQ, Query | | CodeSignal | Timed coding assessments | Coding Test | | Codility | Timed coding tasks | Coding Test | | CoderPad | Live coding interviews and take-home screens | Coding Test, Interview | | LeetCode | Practice and company-run contests | Coding Test | | TestGorilla | Skills and aptitude tests, mostly multiple choice | MCQ, Query | | Mercer Mettl | Coding, aptitude and psychometric assessments, widely used in India and globally | Coding Test, MCQ, Query | | AMCAT | Employability assessment: English, logical, quantitative and domain sections | MCQ, Query | | TCS iON | Large-scale recruitment and entrance exams in India | MCQ, Query | | HireVue | One-way video interviews and coding challenges | Query, Interview | | Respondus LockDown Browser | Locked-down browser used by universities and employers | Ultimate Solvro + any mode above | | Safe Exam Browser | Open-source locked-down browser for proctored exams | Ultimate Solvro + any mode above | | ExamSoft (Examplify) | Exam security platform for law, medical and professional exams | Ultimate Solvro + any mode above | | HackerRank Desktop | Desktop proctoring client for coding assessments | Ultimate Solvro + any mode above | Ultimate Solvro also works during assessments monitored by **ProctorU**, **Honorlock**, **Proctorio** and **Proctortrack**. No other AI assessment assistant supports any of these proctored environments. ## Getting code into the editor You can type the solution yourself from the explanation, which is often the better choice when you will be asked to walk through it later. Or let Solvro's auto-typing type it for you: it types keystroke by keystroke with varied timing instead of pasting, counts down before it starts, and can resume from the exact character where it stopped. *Screenshot: Auto-typing counts down, then types the answer into the editor.* ## Models for hard problems The Gemini models answer fastest and suit most OA questions. For a hard dynamic-programming or graph problem, switch to Claude Opus 5 or Claude Fable 5 with Ctrl+Shift+M; they take a little longer and reason more deeply. The full list is Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. ## Read the rules first Assessment platforms tell candidates what they record before the test starts. Many log tab switches and pasted text, and some record the webcam or the screen. Employers usually forbid outside help in the test's terms, and a flagged result can end an application. Read the instructions on the start page, and decide for yourself. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer.

It is an app that reads questions from an online assessment, such as coding problems, multiple-choice questions or SQL tasks, and returns an answer in seconds. Solvro does this from a screenshot taken with Ctrl Shift S. ### Does Solvro work on HackerRank, CodeSignal, Codility and Mercer Mettl? Solvro is a desktop app that runs outside the browser, so it works alongside any assessment site, including HackerRank, CodeSignal, Codility, CoderPad, LeetCode, TestGorilla, Mercer Mettl, AMCAT and TCS iON. ### Can it answer multiple-choice questions? Yes. MCQ mode reads the question and its options from a screenshot and shows the answer. It covers language questions, snippet-output questions and aptitude items. ### Which programming languages does it answer in? Over 10, including Python, Java, C++ and JavaScript. Set a default in the app or switch with Ctrl Shift L. ### Which plan do I need for an online assessment? Any paid plan. Pro at $39 for one month includes Coding Test, MCQ, Query and unlimited Interview mode with the Gemini models. Pro+ and the $29 Sprint Pass also include Claude models and Ultimate Solvro. ### Does Solvro work inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser or ExamSoft? Yes. Ultimate Solvro works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft (Examplify) and HackerRank Desktop, and during assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. It is the only online assessment assistant with this capability. ### Is using an assistant in an online assessment allowed? Usually not. Most assessments forbid outside help in their terms, and platforms often record tab switches, pasted text or the webcam. Read the rules on the start page before you decide. --- # An AI interview assistant for Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/ai-interview-assistant-for-zoom-teams-google-meet Updated: 2026-10-24 Most interviews now happen on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. An AI interview assistant has to hear the interviewer through that app, stay out of whatever you share, and keep your eyes near the camera. Here is how Solvro does that on each one, and a five-minute check to run before the call. ## How Solvro works with any meeting app Solvro is a desktop app for Windows and macOS. It does not join the call, install a browser extension or add a bot to the meeting. Three things make it work with every meeting app: - **It listens to system audio.** Whatever the interviewer says plays through your computer, and Interview mode transcribes it as they speak, then answers each question within seconds. - **It reads the screen on demand.** Ctrl+Shift+S captures what is in front of you, such as a shared document or a coding problem, for Coding Test, MCQ or Query mode. - **Its window stays out of captures.** Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording. If you share your screen, the overlay is not in the picture. - **Ultimate Solvro.** If your assessment uses Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft or HackerRank Desktop, or is monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio or Proctortrack, Solvro has Ultimate Solvro that works inside those locked-down and proctored environments. No other assistant supports this. *Video: Interview mode beside a video call: the question is transcribed and answered as it is asked.* ## Zoom Zoom's desktop app and its browser version both play the interviewer's voice through system audio, so Interview mode hears them either way. - **Sharing:** Zoom offers your whole screen or a single window. If you are asked to share, sharing only the window you are working in (the editor or the document) is the tidiest choice for any interview, since it keeps notifications and other apps private. - **Share sound:** this option sends your computer's audio to the other side. You do not need it for Solvro. - **Recording:** Zoom records what is shared and the video feeds. The Solvro window is excluded from screen recording in the same way it is excluded from a share. ## Microsoft Teams Teams runs as a desktop app or in the browser, and both work with Interview mode. - **Sharing:** the Share button offers your screen or a single window. A window share shows only that window. - **Include sound:** like Zoom's option, this sends your computer audio to the meeting. Leave it off unless you are asked to play something. - **Recording and transcripts:** many companies record Teams interviews. Solvro listens on your side and adds nothing to the meeting's own transcript. ## Google Meet Meet runs in the browser, which suits Solvro well because the assistant is not part of the browser at all. - **Sharing:** Meet offers your entire screen, a window, or a single Chrome tab. A tab share shows that tab only. - **Audio:** Meet's audio plays through system audio like any other app, so Interview mode transcribes it normally. - **Tip:** if Meet is in the same browser as a coding test, capture the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S rather than switching tabs. ## Webex and others Webex, Amazon Chime, Slack huddles and recruiter calls taken through a desktop app all work the same way: if the interviewer's voice plays through your computer, Interview mode can hear it. Interview mode listens to your computer's audio, so take a recruiter screen through a desktop or browser app rather than on your phone. ## Where to put the overlay Your eyes give more away on video than any screen share. Set the window up once: 1. Move it just below your camera with the arrow shortcuts, so reading keeps your gaze near the lens. 2. Fade it with Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+] to the lowest opacity you can still read. 3. Learn Ctrl+Space, which hides it instantly. 4. Keep answers short with a custom instruction such as "one-line answer, then three short bullets". *Screenshot: The overlay can be moved, faded or hidden without touching the mouse.* ## A five-minute check before the call 1. Open Solvro before you join, and check the mode and model. 2. Start Interview mode with Ctrl+Shift+A. 3. Play a short video with speech and confirm the transcript appears. 4. Share your screen in a test meeting and look at what the other side sees. 5. Put on headphones. The transcript stays clean because only the interviewer comes through system audio, and nothing echoes. On macOS, allow **Screen Recording** and **Microphone** for Solvro when asked: screenshots and Interview mode need them. On macOS the shortcuts use Cmd in place of Ctrl. ## If something goes wrong | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | No transcript | Check the meeting's speaker is your default output device, and on macOS that Solvro has Screen Recording permission | | Answers feel slow | Switch to a Gemini model with Ctrl+Shift+M; they are the fastest | | Answer is off target | Press Ctrl+Shift+N to start a fresh answer for the current question | | Window in the way | Fade it, move it, or hide it with Ctrl+Space | > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. **Test it in a mock call first.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Solvro join the Zoom, Teams or Meet call? No. Solvro runs on your own computer and transcribes system audio, which is where the interviewer's voice plays. Nothing is added to the meeting and no bot joins. ### Will Solvro show up if I share my screen on Teams or Zoom? Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a normal Zoom, Teams or Meet share. Rehearse a share in a test meeting before a real interview. ### Does it work with Google Meet in the browser? Yes. Meet plays audio through your computer like any other app, so Interview mode hears it. Solvro is a separate desktop app, not a browser extension. ### Do I need headphones? They help. With headphones, only the interviewer comes through system audio, so the transcript stays clean and nothing echoes back into the call. ### Does it work on a Mac? Yes, on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer). Allow Screen Recording and Microphone when asked, and use Cmd in place of Ctrl for the shortcuts. --- # An AI assistant for HireVue and one-way video interviews URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/hirevue-ai-interview-assistant Updated: 2026-10-06 In a one-way video interview there is nobody on the other end. HireVue and similar platforms show a question, give you a short prep timer, then record your answer for the employer to review later. The question usually arrives as text and the prep time is yours, which is exactly where an AI assistant can help. Here is how it works with Solvro. ## How a one-way video interview works The details are set by each employer, but the pattern is the same across HireVue and its alternatives. | Step | What happens | Typical range | |---|---|---| | Practice question | An unscored question to test your camera and microphone | Repeat as often as you like | | The question | Shown as on-screen text, sometimes read out in a recorded video | One at a time | | Prep time | A countdown before recording starts | From about 30 seconds to unlimited | | Answer time | Your webcam records your answer | Often up to 3 minutes | | Retakes | Whether you can record an answer again | Set by the employer, often none or one; the last take is submitted | Because nobody is there to ask a follow-up, the whole answer has to stand on its own: a clear point, a specific example, a result. ## Using the prep time with Solvro When the question appears as text, use **Query mode**: 1. Press Ctrl+Shift+S to capture the question. 2. Optionally type what you need, such as "STAR answer from my resume, about 90 seconds spoken". 3. Press Ctrl+Enter. The answer appears in seconds, while the prep timer is still running. When the question is read out in a video, **Interview mode** transcribes it from system audio and answers on its own, the same way it does in a live call. *Screenshot: A captured question in the queue, with a box for the instructions you want to add.* Your resume, the job description and any extra context you saved in Settings travel with every question, so the example in the answer is one of yours, with your own numbers. ## Shape answers for the timer Most people speak at about 130 to 150 words a minute, so a timed answer has a word budget: | Answer time | Roughly | A structure that fits | |---|---|---| | 60 seconds | 130 to 150 words | Point, one example, result | | 90 seconds | 200 to 220 words | Situation, task, action, result, briefly | | 3 minutes | 400 to 450 words | Full STAR answer, plus what you learned | Save a custom instruction such as "Lead with a one-line answer, then STAR in four short bullets, under 200 spoken words" so every answer arrives at the right length. For more on STAR, see [AI for behavioral interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant). ## Delivering it on camera - Use the prep time to read and plan. When the recording starts, talk to the camera from your plan, in your own words. - Place the Solvro window just below the camera with the arrow shortcuts and fade it with Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+]. - Practise on the unscored question first, so the timer and the countdown hold no surprises. - Keep it natural. A reviewer watching a recording notices a script more easily than an interviewer in a live call. ## Coding and game-based sections Some employers add a coding challenge or a game-based assessment to the same invitation. For coding questions, switch to **Coding Test mode** with Ctrl+Shift+Space: capture, send, and read the approach and the code. Game-based assessments test reaction and pattern-spotting in real time, which an AI assistant cannot help with, so treat them as your own. ## Other one-way interview platforms Spark Hire, VidCruiter, Willo and myInterview work the same way: a question on screen, a prep timer, a recorded answer. Because Solvro runs as a desktop app outside the browser, the steps above apply to all of them. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Which plan you need Text questions need only Query mode, which every paid plan includes, from $39 for one month. Questions read out in a video need Interview mode, also included in Pro and every higher paid plan. The $29 Sprint Pass covers one week with no subscription. **Practise on a sample question.** 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can an AI assistant help with a HireVue interview? Yes. During the prep time, capture the on-screen question with Ctrl Shift S in Query mode and Solvro returns a structured answer in seconds, drawn from your resume and the job description. Check the employer's rules first. ### How long do you get to answer a HireVue question? The employer decides. Prep time ranges from about 30 seconds to unlimited, and answers are often limited to around 3 minutes. The practice question shows the timers before you start. ### Can I retake a HireVue answer? Only if the employer allows it, and often they allow none or one. The last take you record is the one that is submitted. ### Which Solvro mode should I use for a one-way interview? Query mode for questions shown as text, Interview mode for questions read out in a video, and Coding Test mode for coding challenges. ### Does it work on other one-way interview platforms? Yes. Spark Hire, VidCruiter, Willo and myInterview follow the same pattern, and Solvro runs as a desktop app outside the browser, so the same steps apply. --- # AI for behavioral interviews: STAR answers built from your resume URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant Updated: 2026-10-06 Behavioral questions ask for proof: a time you led, failed, disagreed or delivered. The format is easy to learn. The hard part is recalling the right story, with its numbers, while someone waits for you to speak. An AI assistant that knows your resume can surface the story and shape it into STAR before the interviewer has finished asking. ## What behavioral interviews test A behavioral question asks how you acted in a real situation, on the theory that past behaviour predicts future behaviour. Interviewers score three things: whether the story is specific, whether it shows what you did rather than what the team did, and whether it ends in a result. | Question family | Example question | What they listen for | |---|---|---| | Leadership | "Tell me about a time you led without formal authority." | Initiative, influence | | Conflict | "Describe a disagreement with a colleague." | Listening, resolution | | Failure | "Tell me about a time you failed." | Ownership, learning | | Ambiguity | "Tell me about a decision you made with incomplete information." | Judgement | | Pressure | "Describe a deadline you nearly missed." | Prioritisation | | Teamwork | "Give an example of helping a teammate succeed." | Collaboration | | Customer focus | "Tell me about going beyond what a customer asked." | Empathy, outcomes | ## The STAR method in one minute STAR is the structure interviewers expect: **Situation**, **Task**, **Action**, **Result**. Keep the set-up short and spend most of the answer on what you did. | Part | Share of the answer | What it covers | |---|---|---| | Situation | About 15% | Where and when, in one or two sentences | | Task | About 10% | What you were responsible for | | Action | About 55% | The steps you took, and why | | Result | About 20% | What changed, with a number if you have one | An example, for "Tell me about a time you missed a deadline": - **Situation:** our team was moving the billing service to a new database two weeks before a pricing launch. - **Task:** I owned the data migration scripts. - **Action:** test runs showed a 3% mismatch in invoices. I told my manager the same day, proposed moving the launch by four days, and wrote a reconciliation check that ran after every batch. - **Result:** we launched four days late with no billing errors, and the check became part of every migration since. ## How Solvro builds a STAR answer from your resume 1. **Add your context once.** In [Settings](https://solvro.in/settings), upload your resume, paste the job description, and add extra context: the stories you want to tell, with their numbers. 2. **Ask for the shape you want.** A custom instruction such as "STAR in four short bullets, one line each, lead with the result" makes every answer arrive ready to glance at. 3. **Start Interview mode** with Ctrl+Shift+A before the call. 4. **Answer from the prompt.** When the question is asked, Solvro transcribes it and returns a STAR answer within seconds, built from a story in your own background. 5. **Handle follow-ups.** The conversation keeps context, so "what would you do differently?" builds on the last answer. Ctrl+Shift+N starts a fresh answer when the interviewer moves on. *Screenshot: Interview mode answering a question the interviewer has just asked.* ## Build a story bank first Six to eight good stories cover nearly every behavioral question, because one story can answer several families. Write them into your extra context in Settings, each with the situation, your actions and a result. | Story | Families it can answer | |---|---| | A project you led end to end | Leadership, ownership, pressure | | A disagreement you resolved | Conflict, teamwork | | A mistake you caught and fixed | Failure, ownership | | A decision made without full data | Ambiguity, judgement | | A time you helped someone grow | Teamwork, leadership | | A customer or user problem you solved | Customer focus | The better the bank, the better the answers: Solvro can only choose among the stories it knows. ## Company frameworks Some companies grade behavioral answers against their own values. Paste the ones that apply into the job description field so answers use the same language: - **Amazon** scores answers against its 16 Leadership Principles, such as Customer Obsession, Ownership and Dive Deep. - **Google** runs a behavioral round on "Googleyness and leadership". - **Consulting firms** run personal-experience or fit interviews alongside the case. See [AI for consulting interviews](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-consultants). ## Sounding like yourself - Read the first line, then tell the story in your own words. The bullets are prompts, not a script. - Check every number before you say it. If it came from your resume, you can defend it. - A short pause before you answer reads as thoughtful, not stuck. - Aim for about two minutes per answer unless the interviewer asks for more. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. **Try it on three practice questions.** 10 Interview-mode minutes are included in the free trial. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can AI answer behavioral interview questions? Solvro's Interview mode hears the question and returns a STAR-shaped answer within seconds, using the stories in your resume and extra context. Treat it as a prompt to speak from, not a script. ### What is the STAR method? STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result. Keep the situation and task short, spend most of the answer on what you did, and end with a result, ideally with a number. ### How does Solvro know my experience? You add it in Settings: your resume, the job description, extra context such as your best stories, and custom instructions for the answer format. Every answer draws on them. ### Will the answers sound scripted? Not if you use them as notes. Ask for short bullets in your custom instructions, read the first line, and tell the rest in your own words. ### Which Solvro plan includes Interview mode? Every paid plan, starting with Pro at $39 for one month, includes unlimited Interview mode. The $29 Sprint Pass covers a single week; the free trial includes 10 minutes. --- # An AI assistant for system design interviews URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/system-design-interview-ai-assistant Updated: 2026-10-06 A system design round is a 45 to 60 minute conversation with no single right answer. The interviewer watches how you scope the problem, size it, choose components and defend trade-offs. An AI assistant helps most with structure and recall: the checklist you forget under pressure, and the numbers you need for an estimate. ## How system design rounds are scored Interviewers grade the process more than the final diagram. Most rubrics look for the same six signals: | Signal | What good looks like | |---|---| | Requirements | Clarifying questions first; functional and non-functional needs separated | | Estimation | Traffic, storage and bandwidth sized, with the assumptions said out loud | | High-level design | Clear components, an API and a data flow the interviewer can follow | | Deep dive | One or two components in detail: storage choice, caching, partitioning | | Trade-offs | Alternatives named, and a reason one wins for this problem | | Communication | You drive the conversation and check in with the interviewer | ## A plan for 45 minutes | Minutes | Phase | What you produce | |---|---|---| | 0 to 5 | Clarify | Users, core features, scale, latency and consistency needs | | 5 to 10 | Estimate | Requests per second, storage per year, read to write ratio | | 10 to 20 | High-level design | API, data model, main components and how data moves | | 20 to 35 | Deep dive | The hardest one or two components, in detail | | 35 to 45 | Wrap up | Bottlenecks, failure modes, how it scales, what you would do next | ## Where Solvro helps **The prompt.** In Interview mode, Solvro hears "design a URL shortener" and returns an outline within seconds: the clarifying questions worth asking, an estimate with its assumptions, the main components, a data model and the trade-offs to raise. You lead the conversation; the outline keeps you from skipping a step. **Follow-ups.** The conversation keeps context, so "how would you handle a hot key?" or "what if reads grow ten times?" is answered for the design you have been describing, not a generic one. Press Ctrl+Shift+N when the interviewer moves to a new question. **Diagrams and documents on screen.** If the interviewer shares a diagram or a requirements document, capture it with Ctrl+Shift+S and ask in Query mode, for example "where is the bottleneck in this design?". **Models.** System design rewards reasoning more than speed. Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 go deepest; the Gemini models are fastest. Switch with Ctrl+Shift+M. *Video: Switching between the five models from the keyboard.* **Your own systems.** Interviewers often ask about systems you have built. With your resume in Settings, answers can point to your real projects instead of textbook examples. ## Numbers worth having ready Estimates do not need to be exact, only reasonable and stated. These conversions cover most of them: | Fact | Rough value | |---|---| | Seconds in a day | 86,400, about 100,000 | | 1 million requests a day | About 12 requests a second | | 100 million requests a day | About 1,200 requests a second | | 1 KB for each of 1 million items | About 1 GB | | 1 MB for each of 1 million items | About 1 TB | | Reading from memory | About 100 nanoseconds | | Round trip inside a data centre | About 0.5 milliseconds | | Round trip between continents | About 150 milliseconds | ## What an assistant can't do for you - **Draw the diagram.** Solvro returns text: components, data flow and trade-offs. You sketch from the outline. - **Own the trade-off.** Interviewers push back on purpose. Defending a choice has to come from you. - **Invent experience.** Deep-dive questions probe what you have actually built. Keep answers tied to your real projects. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. **Run one mock design question with it.** 10 Interview-mode minutes are included in the free trial. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can AI help in a system design interview? Yes, mainly with structure and recall. Solvro's Interview mode hears the prompt and returns an outline in seconds: clarifying questions, an estimate, components, a data model and trade-offs. You still lead the conversation and draw the design. ### Which model is best for system design questions? The deeper reasoning models, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5, suit open-ended design questions. The Gemini models are faster when you need a quick answer. Switch with Ctrl Shift M. ### Does Solvro draw system design diagrams? No. It returns text: the components, how data flows between them and the trade-offs. You sketch the diagram from that outline. ### How long is a system design interview? Usually 45 to 60 minutes: about five minutes on requirements, five on estimates, ten on the high-level design, fifteen on a deep dive and the rest on trade-offs and scaling. ### Which plan do I need? Spoken questions use Interview mode, included in every paid plan from Pro at $39 for one month. The $29 Sprint Pass covers seven days; Query mode, for diagrams and documents on screen, is also in every paid plan. --- # What AI interview assistants cost: 18 tools compared URL: https://solvro.in/alternatives/ai-interview-assistant-pricing Updated: 2026-10-24 AI interview assistants cost anywhere from $12 a month on an annual plan to $299 a month on monthly billing, and a few sell lifetime licences for $799 to $999.99.

Most of them work before the interview: you paste a question and read a sample answer. A real-time generator works during it: it hears the question as the interviewer asks it and shows an answer built from your own resume within seconds. Solvro is the second kind. ## Two kinds of answer generator | | Prep generator | Real-time generator | |---|---|---| | When it runs | Before the interview | During the interview | | How the question gets in | You type or paste it | It hears the interviewer, or reads the screen | | Uses your background | Only what you paste each time | Resume, job description and instructions saved once | | Best for | Rehearsing common questions | The question you did not expect | | Examples | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, free web tools | Solvro, Final Round AI, LockedIn AI | Both are useful. Rehearse with a prep generator, and keep a real-time one for the live call, where an unexpected question can still catch you out. ## How Solvro writes an answer live Interview mode transcribes the interviewer from your computer's system audio, works out where the question ends, and writes an answer with your resume, the job description and your custom instructions in view. The answer appears in a desktop overlay within seconds, while the interviewer is still finishing the question or waiting for you. Solvro also has Ultimate Solvro that works inside Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft and HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack, where other answer generators are blocked. A follow-up such as "what was the result?" builds on the previous answer, because the conversation keeps its context. For the full pipeline, see [how an AI interview assistant works](https://solvro.in/ai-interview-assistant). *Video: Interview mode: the question is transcribed and the answer appears while it is still on the table.* Questions you can see rather than hear work too. Capture the screen with Ctrl+Shift+S in Query mode, add a note if you want one, and send it with Ctrl+Enter. ## What a good generated answer looks like An answer you can use under pressure is short and front-loaded. Set it up once with a custom instruction such as "lead with a one-line answer, then three short bullets with one number": > **Example answer shape** > Question: "Why do you want to work here?" One line: "Your payments platform is the problem I have spent four years on." Then three bullets: the system you built and its scale, the part of this role that extends it, and one thing from the job description you want to learn. The first line gets you talking. The bullets are prompts for the rest, in your own words. ## The questions almost everyone gets These come up in most interviews. Here is what a strong answer needs, and what Solvro draws on to write it. | Question | What a strong answer needs | What Solvro uses | |---|---|---| | Tell me about yourself | Present role, one past highlight, why this job next | Resume summary and the job title | | Why should we hire you? | Two or three matches between your record and the job | Job description and resume | | What is your biggest weakness? | A real weakness and what you are doing about it | Extra context you add in Settings | | Tell me about a conflict at work | A STAR story with your own actions and a result | Stories in your extra context | | Why are you leaving your job? | A forward-looking reason, nothing negative | Extra context and custom instructions | | Where do you see yourself in five years? | Growth that fits the role on offer | Job description | | What are your salary expectations? | A researched range and flexibility | Your instructions | | Do you have questions for us? | Two specific questions about the team or the work | Job description | For story questions, read [AI for behavioral interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant), which covers STAR and how to build a story bank. ## Speed, voice and length - **Speed:** the Gemini models answer fastest; Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 take a moment longer and reason more deeply. Switch with Ctrl+Shift+M. - **Voice:** Solvro hears voice, through system audio. It does not speak the answer; it shows it as text, and you say it. - **Length:** custom instructions control it. Short bullets suit live calls; longer answers suit one-way video interviews with a prep timer. ## Is there a free version? Every account starts with 10 free AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode, with no card. For rehearsal before the interview, a free general chatbot works well too; see [ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/chatgpt-for-interviews). > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. **Hear it answer your first question.** 10 free answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, no card. Start free: https://solvro.in/auth?mode=signup. Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is an AI interview answer generator? It turns an interview question into a suggested answer. Prep generators answer a question you paste in before the interview. Real-time generators such as Solvro hear the question during the interview and show an answer built from your resume within seconds. ### Can AI generate interview answers in real time? Yes. Solvro's Interview mode transcribes the interviewer from system audio and returns a structured answer within seconds, using your resume, the job description and your instructions. ### Is there a free AI interview answer generator? Solvro's free trial includes 10 AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode with no card. General chatbots such as ChatGPT are free for rehearsing answers before the interview. ### Does Solvro read the answer out loud? No. It listens to the interviewer and shows the answer as text in an overlay on your screen. You say the answer in your own words. ### Will generated answers sound like me? They draw on your resume, the job description and the stories you add in Settings, so the examples are yours. Ask for short bullets and speak from them rather than reading them out. --- # ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for job interviews: what each is good for URL: https://solvro.in/solutions/chatgpt-for-interviews Updated: 2026-10-24 ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are excellent interview coaches before the interview: they research a company, turn your resume into stories and run mock interviews, often for free. During a live interview they are awkward, because they cannot hear the interviewer and a browser tab shows up in a screen share. Here is how to use each one well, and where a dedicated assistant takes over. ## What a chatbot does well before an interview - **Research.** Summarise the company, its products, its recent news and the team you are joining. - **Your stories.** Turn your resume into six to eight STAR stories with numbers. - **Mock interviews.** Ask the questions one at a time and critique your answers. - **Concepts.** Explain a topic from the job description that you have not used in a while. - **Questions to ask.** Draft specific questions about the role and the team. All three offer a voice mode in their mobile apps, which turns a mock interview into spoken practice, closer to the real thing than typing. ## Prompts that work | Goal | Prompt | |---|---| | Mock interview | "You are interviewing me for the job description below. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, then score it from 1 to 5 and say what would make it a 5." | | Story bank | "From my resume below, write six STAR stories for leadership, conflict, failure, ambiguity, teamwork and a result I am proud of. Keep my real numbers; ask me when one is missing." | | Tell me about yourself | "Write a 60-second answer to 'tell me about yourself' for this role: present role, one past highlight, why this job next. Plain words, no buzzwords." | | Weak spots | "Read the job description and my resume. List the five questions I am most likely to struggle with, and why." | | Questions to ask | "Suggest three questions I could ask this interviewer that show I read the job description closely." | Paste the job description and your resume into the same chat first. The more of your real background the chatbot has, the less generic the result. ## ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? For interview preparation, the differences matter less than how you use them. All three run mock interviews, critique answers, accept your resume as a file and have a free tier. | | ChatGPT | Claude | Gemini | |---|---|---|---| | Made by | OpenAI | Anthropic | Google | | Free tier | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Voice mode for spoken mocks | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Good fit | General coaching and mock interviews | Long documents: a resume plus a long job description | Research that leans on Google search | Pick the one you already use, and keep the whole preparation in one chat so it remembers your background. ## During a live interview, things change A chatbot in a browser tab was not built for a conversation that is happening now. | | ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini in a tab | Solvro | |---|---|---| | Hears the interviewer | No, you type or paste the question | Yes, live transcription of system audio | | Reads a problem on screen | Only if you upload a screenshot | One shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+S | | In a full-screen share | The tab is visible like any other window | The overlay is excluded from screen capture | | Knows your background | Only what is in that chat | Resume, job description and instructions saved once | | Speed | Typing, then reading a long reply | A structured answer within seconds | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | No | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | Solvro runs on the same model families you would use in a chatbot: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. The difference is everything around the model: hearing the question, reading the screen, keeping your context and staying out of the share. More on this in [what an AI interview assistant is](https://solvro.in/ai-interview-assistant). *Video: Switching between Gemini and Claude models inside Solvro.* ## Is it allowed? Using AI to prepare is generally fine. Using it during the interview is a different question: most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help, and some publish their own rules. Mercor, for example, allows grammar and wording checks but asks candidates not to use large language models to compose their responses. Read the rules for each interview, and see [how to prepare for an AI interview](https://solvro.in/solutions/how-to-pass-an-ai-interview) if yours is run by an AI interviewer. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms.

Download: https://solvro.in/download. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use ChatGPT during a job interview? In practice it is slow: you have to type or paste each question, and a browser tab appears in a full-screen share. Most employers also prohibit outside help during the interview, so check the rules. ChatGPT is very useful before the interview. ### Is ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini better for interview prep? All three run mock interviews, critique answers and read your resume, and all have free tiers and voice modes. Pick the one you already use and keep your preparation in one chat. ### What is a good ChatGPT prompt for interview practice? "You are interviewing me for the job description below. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, then score it from 1 to 5 and say what would make it a 5." Paste the job description and your resume first. ### Does Solvro use ChatGPT? No. Solvro uses Google and Anthropic models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. You can switch between them in the app. ### Why use an interview copilot instead of ChatGPT? A copilot such as Solvro hears the interviewer, reads the screen with one shortcut, keeps your resume and the job description in context, and keeps its window out of screen shares. A chatbot tab does none of that during a live call. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

URL: https://solvro.in/alternatives/interview-coder-vs-cluely Updated: 2026-10-24 Interview Coder and Cluely come from the same founder but are built for different jobs. Interview Coder is a desktop copilot for coding interviews, sold at $299 a month or $799 for life. Cluely is a general meeting assistant for calls of every kind, with a free plan, a $19.99 Pro plan and stealth only on Pro + Undetectability at $149.99 a month. Here is how they compare for a job interview, and when a third option fits better. ![Interview Coder homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/interview-coder-alternative/interview-coder.webp) *Interview Coder 2.0, a desktop copilot for coding interviews.* ## The short answer - **For coding rounds only:** Interview Coder is the more focused tool, if $299 a month or a one-off $799 suits you. - **For meetings, sales calls and general screen help:** Cluely is built for that, and its free and $19.99 plans are cheap ways to try it. They do not hide from screen shares. - **For a job search with both coding and spoken rounds:** a dedicated interview assistant that handles both, on a monthly plan or a one-week pass, usually costs less than either. ## At a glance | | Interview Coder | Cluely | |---|---|---| | Built for | Coding interviews | Meetings, sales calls and interviews | | Runs as | Desktop app for Windows and macOS | Desktop app for macOS and Windows, plus an iOS app | | Coding problems | Hotkey screenshots, solution with explanation | General screen help | | Spoken questions | Audio mode with Start, Pause and Finish buttons | Listens to the call continuously | | Personalisation | Role and years of experience, set once | General | | Models | Not named on its website | 9 models | | Hidden from screen shares | Yes, with a detailed list of stealth features | Only on Pro + Undetectability | | Free option | Free download; AI features need a plan | Free plan, without stealth | | Price | $299 a month (1,000 credits) or $799 lifetime | Pro $19.99 a month; Pro + Undetectability $149.99 a month | ## A shared history Roy Lee built Interview Coder as a student, then co-founded Cluely with Neel Shanmugam in 2025, after both left Columbia University. Launch coverage at the time described Interview Coder as part of Cluely. Today they are sold as separate products with separate pricing, and they have grown in different directions: Interview Coder stayed with coding interviews, while Cluely now markets itself as an AI assistant for meetings. ![Cluely homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/cluely-alternatives/cluely.webp) *Cluely markets itself as an AI assistant for meetings.* ## Coding interviews This is where the two differ most. Interview Coder is built around a coding round: a hotkey captures the problem, and it returns an approach, the code and the complexity. It asks for your role and years of experience once, from a short list, and its website does not name the models it uses. It keeps no chat history, so if an answer is wrong you regenerate it rather than ask a follow-up. Cluely is a general assistant. It can read a coding problem from your screen and suggest an answer, but it has no coding-specific workflow, no language picker for solutions and nothing that types code for you. For a LeetCode-style round, Interview Coder is the better fit of the two. ## Spoken questions Cluely was built for live conversation. It listens to the call continuously, works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Slack, and supports more than 12 languages. Answers are general by design, because it does not know whether you are in an interview, a sales call or a team meeting. Interview Coder's audio mode needs you to press **Start Interview**, **Pause** and **Finish** at the right moments. It works, but it adds clicks during the part of the interview where you most need to concentrate, and a missed click can mean the AI hears only half a question. ## Staying out of the screen share Interview Coder lists its stealth features in detail, including hiding from the Dock, the tray and Activity Monitor, and click-through. In one reviewer's test, opening its language dropdown showed the dropdown in the shared screen, so pop-ups are the weak spot. Cluely's free and $19.99 Pro plans do not hide from screen shares; that needs Pro + Undetectability at $149.99 a month. Its own help centre adds two cautions: use keyboard shortcuts rather than mouse clicks during a call, and it does not work around proctoring software. Whatever you choose, read the rules for your interview first: many employers and assessment platforms do not allow outside help. ## Price | | Interview Coder | Cluely | |---|---|---| | Free | Free download, AI features need a plan | Free plan, no stealth | | One month with stealth | $299 (1,000 credits) | $149.99 | | Three months with stealth | $799 (lifetime) | $449.97 | | Six months with stealth | $799 (lifetime) | $899.94 | | Cheapest paid option | $299 for a month | Pro at $19.99, or from $11.99 a month billed yearly, without stealth | For a month or two, Cluely with stealth costs less. From about the sixth month, Interview Coder's $799 lifetime licence is cheaper, so it pays off only for a long search, or if you expect to interview again in later years. Most job searches last a few months. Interview Coder lists its lifetime plan at $1,598 and has sold it at $899 before, so check the current price. ## Which should you pick? **For most candidates, our pick is neither: it is Solvro**, which handles coding and spoken rounds in one app for less (details below). Between these two: - **Interview Coder** suits coding-only rounds, if $299 a month or a one-off $799 is acceptable. - **Cluely** suits meetings and sales calls more than interviews; budget $149.99 a month if you need it hidden from screen shares. ## Our pick: Solvro Solvro is a desktop assistant built only for interviews and assessments, covering the ground between the two. Interview mode listens continuously and answers each spoken question from your resume and the job description, with no buttons to press. Coding Test mode reads the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S and returns the approach, complexity and code, which auto-typing can type with human timing. MCQ mode handles multiple-choice tests, and Query mode anything else on screen. You choose between five models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. | | Interview Coder | Cluely | Solvro | |---|---|---|---| | Coding rounds | Yes | General | Yes, with auto-typing | | Spoken questions | Start, Pause and Finish buttons | Yes | Yes, automatic | | Uses your resume and job description | Role and years only | General context, not interview-specific | Yes | | Follow-up questions in context | No | Yes | Yes | | Hidden from screen shares | Yes | $149.99 plan only | Yes, on every plan | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | No | No | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | | Free trial | Free download, AI features need a plan | Free plan, no stealth | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes, no card | | Price | $299 a month or $799 lifetime | $19.99 to $149.99 a month | Interview mode $49 a month, or $29 for 7 days | Solvro is not the cheapest tool on the market; see [what every AI interview assistant costs](https://solvro.in/alternatives/ai-interview-assistant-pricing).

No. Roy Lee built Interview Coder and then co-founded Cluely in 2025, and early coverage described Interview Coder as part of Cluely, but today they are separate products. Interview Coder is a coding-interview copilot; Cluely is a general meeting assistant. ### Which is better for coding interviews, Interview Coder or Cluely? Interview Coder, because it is built for coding rounds: hotkey screenshots and a solution with its complexity. Cluely gives general screen help without a coding-specific workflow. ### Which is cheaper, Interview Coder or Cluely? For a search of a few months, Cluely: its stealth plan is $149.99 a month, against $299 a month or $799 for life for Interview Coder. Cluely's $19.99 Pro plan is cheaper still, but it does not hide from screen shares. ### Does Cluely hide from screen sharing? Only on its Pro + Undetectability plan at $149.99 a month. Its help centre also says it does not work around proctoring software. ### Is there an alternative that handles coding and spoken questions? Solvro handles both in one desktop app: Interview mode answers spoken questions from your resume and the job description, and Coding Test mode reads the problem and returns code. Interview mode is $49 a month or $29 for a 7-day pass, with a free trial. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

It hears the interviewer through system audio, reads the screen with one shortcut and shows an answer in an overlay that is kept out of screen shares. These are the questions people ask most, grouped by topic. ## About Solvro ### What is Solvro? A desktop app for Windows and macOS that helps in live interviews and timed tests. In Interview mode it transcribes the interviewer and writes an answer from your resume and the job description; in Coding Test mode it reads a programming problem and returns the approach, the complexity and code; MCQ mode answers multiple-choice questions; Query mode answers anything else on screen. For the full picture, read [what an AI interview assistant is](https://solvro.in/ai-interview-assistant). ### Is Solvro the same as KN Solvro or Solvr? No. Solvro at solvro.in is the AI interview and online assessment assistant. KN Solvro is a student science club at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, and Solvr is an unrelated product. They are not connected. ### Who is Solvro for? Candidates in live interviews (behavioural, HR, case and technical), coding interviews and online assessments on platforms such as HackerRank, CodeSignal and Codility. Pages by role cover [software engineers](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-software-engineers), [product managers](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-product-managers), [data scientists](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-data-scientists) and more. ## Setup ### Which computers does Solvro run on? Windows 10 and 11, and macOS on Apple Silicon. [Download it here](https://solvro.in/download). On macOS, allow Screen Recording and Microphone when asked: screenshots and Interview mode need them. ### Does it work with Zoom, Teams and Google Meet? Yes. Solvro is a desktop app, so it runs beside any video call app or browser: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and others. It also works beside coding platforms such as HackerRank, LeetCode, CoderPad and Codility. See [Solvro on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet](https://solvro.in/solutions/ai-interview-assistant-for-zoom-teams-google-meet). ### How do I set it up? Create a free account, install the app, then add your resume, the job description and any custom instructions in Settings. The [step-by-step setup guide](https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot) takes about twenty minutes, including a practice call. ## Using Solvro ### What are the four modes? **Interview** for spoken questions, **Coding Test** for programming problems, **MCQ** for multiple-choice tests and **Query** for anything else on screen. Ctrl+Shift+Space switches between them. ### Which keyboard shortcuts matter most? | Shortcut | What it does | |---|---| | Ctrl+Shift+S | Capture the screen; press again for each extra page, up to 20 | | Ctrl+Enter | Send the captures for an answer | | Ctrl+Shift+Space | Switch mode | | Ctrl+Space | Hide or show the window | | Ctrl+Shift+A / Ctrl+Shift+X | Start or stop Interview mode | | Ctrl+Shift+M | Switch model | Every shortcut can be reassigned. ### Which AI models does Solvro use? Five: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. The Gemini models answer fastest; Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 reason more deeply on hard problems. You can switch at any time. ### Which programming languages does it support? More than 10. Set your default language once and switch with Ctrl+Shift+L. ### Can it type the code for me? Yes. Auto-typing types the solution into the window you choose, keystroke by keystroke with varied timing, instead of pasting it. F8 stops it and Ctrl+Shift+Y resumes from where it stopped. ### Does Solvro speak the answer? No. It listens to the interviewer and shows the answer as text. You say it in your own words. ### How fast are answers? Within seconds of the question. The Gemini models are the fastest. ## Screen sharing and the rules ### Does Solvro show up in a screen share? Solvro sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, so it does not appear in a Zoom, Meet or Teams share. It runs outside the browser, so page-level proctoring scripts do not see it. No tool can promise it will never be noticed, and we cannot guarantee its behaviour against every proctoring product. See [how screen-share visibility works](https://solvro.in/guides/invisible-ai-interview-assistant). ### Is it allowed to use Solvro in an interview? That depends on the employer and the platform. Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help during an interview or test, and breaking those rules can lead to disqualification or a withdrawn offer. Read the rules for each interview and decide for yourself. ## Plans and billing ### How much does Solvro cost? Pro includes unlimited Interview mode at $39 for one month, or $29 a month paid once for three months. Pro+ adds the Claude models and Ultimate Solvro at $49 for one month, or $39 a month paid once for three months. The Eternal Pass is $348 a year and the Sprint Pass is $29 for 7 days. Details are on the [pricing page](https://solvro.in/pricing). ### Is there a free trial? Yes. Every account gets 10 AI answers and 10 minutes of Interview mode, with no card. ### Can I pay in rupees? Yes. Customers in India are charged in Indian rupees; everyone else in US dollars. Payments are processed by Razorpay. ### Can I get a refund? Access is non-refundable once a plan is active, which is why the free trial comes first. Duplicate charges, a plan that never activated and charges after cancellation are refunded in full. See the [refund policy](https://solvro.in/refund-policy). ## Your data ### What does Solvro do with my resume? It uses your resume, the job description and your notes only to write your answers. You can view, change or delete them at any time from your account. See the [privacy policy](https://solvro.in/privacy-policy). ### How do I contact support? Email support@solvro.in.

This glossary defines 46 terms you will meet when preparing for interviews and online assessments, grouped by topic, with links to fuller guides where we have them. ## Interview formats ### Behavioral interview An interview built on questions about how you handled real situations in the past, such as "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager". Answers are judged on specific examples, your own actions and the result. See [AI for behavioral interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant). ### STAR method A structure for behavioural answers: Situation, Task, Action, Result. Spend most of the answer on the Action, say "I" rather than "we", and end with a measurable result. ### Technical interview An interview that tests the skills the job needs: coding, system design, data analysis or domain knowledge, usually with an engineer or specialist from the team. ### Coding interview A round where you solve programming problems live, usually in a shared editor, while explaining your approach, its complexity and how you would test it. See [AI coding interview assistants](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-coding-interview-assistant). ### System design interview An open-ended round where you design a large system, such as a URL shortener or a news feed: requirements, components, data storage, scaling and trade-offs. See [AI for system design interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/system-design-interview-ai-assistant). ### Case interview The standard consulting format: a business problem worked through aloud, with a structure for the problem, some quick maths and a recommendation at the end. See [AI for consulting interviews](https://solvro.in/use-cases/ai-interview-assistant-for-consultants). ### Phone screen A short first-round call, usually with a recruiter, that checks your background, your motivation for the role and your salary expectations before the main interviews. ### One-way video interview An interview with no live interviewer: you record answers to preset questions within a time limit, often with a short preparation timer and limited retakes. HireVue is the best-known platform. See [HireVue and one-way video interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/hirevue-ai-interview-assistant). ### AI-led interview An interview in which an AI interviewer asks the questions and follow-ups, then scores or summarises the answers for the hiring team. Some hiring platforms and talent marketplaces use them as a first round. ### Panel interview An interview with several interviewers at once, often from different teams, who each take a share of the questions. ### Take-home assignment A task you complete on your own time, typically over a few hours or days, and then discuss with the team in a later round. ### Pair programming interview A coding round where you and the interviewer work on a realistic task together, judged as much on collaboration and communication as on the finished code. ## Online assessments and coding ### Online assessment (OA) A timed test taken online, often the first step for engineering and graduate roles. It can include coding problems, multiple-choice questions, aptitude tests and short written answers. See [AI online assessment assistants](https://solvro.in/solutions/online-assessment-assistant). ### HackerRank A platform employers use for timed coding tests and live coding interviews, with a browser-based editor and automatic test cases. ### CodeSignal A platform for technical assessments and live interviews, used by employers to run standardised coding tests. ### Codility A platform for coding tests and technical interviews, where solutions are scored on correctness and performance. ### CoderPad A shared code editor that runs code in the browser, widely used for live coding interviews. ### LeetCode-style problem An algorithm and data-structure problem of the kind collected on LeetCode: arrays, strings, trees, graphs, dynamic programming. Solutions are judged on correctness and efficiency. ### Time complexity (Big O) How an algorithm's running time grows with the size of its input, written in Big O notation such as O(n) or O(n log n). Interviewers expect you to state it for every solution. ### MCQ test A multiple-choice test, common in online assessments for aptitude, reasoning, language and technical knowledge. ### Proctoring Supervision of a test to enforce its rules, either by a person or by software that may use the webcam, record the screen, lock the browser or flag tab switches. ### Safe Exam Browser (SEB) An open-source browser that locks a computer into a kiosk mode during an exam, blocking other applications, copy-paste and screen capture. Some employers and universities use it for proctored online assessments. ### Respondus LockDown Browser A locked-down browser widely used in universities and corporate training. It prevents access to other applications, copy-paste, screen capture and browser navigation during an exam. ### HackerRank Desktop A desktop application from HackerRank that runs coding assessments in a locked-down environment, similar to Safe Exam Browser, blocking other apps during the test. ### ExamSoft (Examplify) An exam security platform used by universities, law schools and medical boards. Its desktop client, Examplify, locks the computer during the exam and records activity for review. ### ProctorU A remote proctoring service where a human proctor or AI monitors the candidate through a webcam and screen share during an online exam. ### Honorlock A browser-based remote proctoring service that uses AI and a Chrome extension to monitor candidates during online exams, flagging suspicious behaviour for review. ### Proctorio A remote proctoring tool that runs as a browser extension, recording the screen, webcam, audio and system activity during an exam for automated or human review. ### Proctortrack A remote proctoring service that uses AI to verify identity and monitor candidate behaviour through a webcam and screen recording during online assessments. ### TestGorilla A pre-employment assessment platform offering skills tests, personality questionnaires and custom questions, used by employers to screen candidates before interviews. ### Mercer Mettl An online assessment platform used for recruitment, certification and training. It offers coding tests, psychometric assessments and remote proctoring, widely used in India and globally. ### TCS iON A digital assessment platform by Tata Consultancy Services, used for large-scale recruitment exams, university entrance tests and corporate assessments, primarily in India. ### AMCAT The Aspiring Minds Computer Adaptive Test, an employability assessment used by employers in India and other markets to evaluate candidates on English, logical reasoning, quantitative skills and domain knowledge. ## AI interview assistants ### AI interview assistant Software that helps during an interview in real time: it hears the question or reads it from the screen and shows a suggested answer within seconds. See [what an AI interview assistant is](https://solvro.in/ai-interview-assistant). ### Interview copilot Another name for a real-time AI interview assistant: a tool that works beside you during the interview rather than before it. See [how to use an interview copilot](https://solvro.in/guides/how-to-use-ai-interview-copilot). ### AI overlay A window that floats above your other apps and shows the AI's answer where you are already looking, so you do not switch tabs or look down at a phone. See [AI overlays for interviews](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-overlay-for-interviews). ### System audio capture Recording the sound your computer plays, such as the interviewer's voice in a video call, rather than what your microphone hears. Real-time assistants use it to transcribe the question. ### Real-time transcription Speech turned into text as it is spoken, a few words behind the speaker. It is the first step of answering a spoken question live. ### Screen capture exclusion An operating system feature that lets an app keep its window out of screenshots and screen recordings. On Windows it is set with a content-protection flag on the window. ### Auto-typing Entering text into another window keystroke by keystroke, as a person would type it, instead of pasting it all at once. ### AI interview answer generator A tool that turns an interview question into a suggested answer. Prep generators work on questions you paste in before the interview; real-time generators hear the question during it. See [AI interview answer generators](https://solvro.in/solutions/ai-interview-answer-generator). ### Mock interview A practice interview with a person or an AI interviewer, followed by feedback on your answers, delivery and structure. See [AI interview prep tools](https://solvro.in/guides/ai-interview-prep-tools). ### Ultimate Solvro A mode in Solvro that works inside locked-down and proctored environments where other AI assistants are blocked, including Respondus LockDown Browser, Safe Exam Browser, ExamSoft, HackerRank Desktop, and assessments monitored by ProctorU, Honorlock, Proctorio and Proctortrack. It is the only AI interview assistant that supports desktop-proctored assessments. Pro+ and Sprint Pass include unlimited time; the free trial includes 15 minutes each session. ## Preparation ### Job description (JD) The employer's description of the role: responsibilities, required skills and nice-to-haves. It is the best guide to which questions you will be asked. ### Applicant tracking system (ATS) Software employers use to collect, sort and filter job applications, often by matching resumes against keywords from the job description. ### Story bank Six to eight prepared STAR stories, each with a real result, that between them cover leadership, conflict, failure, teamwork and ambiguity, and can be adapted to most behavioural questions. **See an interview copilot at work.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free.

URL: https://solvro.in/alternatives/final-round-ai-vs-parakeet-ai Updated: 2026-10-24 Final Round AI and Parakeet AI are two of the best-known real-time interview assistants, and both run as desktop apps for Windows and macOS. The biggest difference is how you pay. Final Round AI needs a Pro subscription for live help, about $148 on monthly billing and advertised from $25 a month on its longest plan. Parakeet AI sells one-hour credits from $38, as well as an unlimited plan. Here is how they compare, and when a third option fits better. ![Parakeet AI homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/parakeet-ai-alternative/parakeet-ai.webp) *Parakeet AI's homepage.* ## The short answer - **One or two interviews coming up:** Parakeet AI, because a one-hour credit costs $38 and three cost $59, with no subscription. - **A long search and you want one suite for everything:** Final Round AI, whose longest plan brings Pro down to about $25 a month and includes practice interviews and AI debriefs. - **About a month of interviews:** the two cost about the same on monthly billing, near $150. A cheaper option is worth a look. ## At a glance | | Final Round AI | Parakeet AI | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app for macOS 14.4 or later and Windows | Desktop app for Windows and macOS, or a web app in Chrome | | Live answers | Interview Copilot, on Pro | Real-time answers, by button or automatically | | Interview formats | General, behavioural, coding, system design, phone and one-way video, without switching modes | Interviews and coding, with a coding answer layout | | Languages | 143 languages and accents | 50+ languages | | Models | Model choice in the copilot | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models, chosen per session | | After the call | Automatic AI debriefs | Interview report | | Practice | Practice interviews | Mock interviews and a question bank | | Free option | Free plan for preparation, no live sessions | 10-minute trial, which can be restarted | | Price | About $148 a month; from $25 a month on the longest plan | $38 for a one-hour credit; unlimited $149.90 a month or $449.90 a year | ## Live answers Both apps transcribe the interviewer and show a suggested answer drawn from your resume and the job description. Final Round AI's Interview Copilot is built to cover every format without switching modes, so the same session can move from a behavioural question to a coding problem. Its Pro plan adds screen help with automatic capture and a stealth mode that it describes as hidden from shared screens and absent from recordings. Parakeet AI shows an **AI Answer** button during a session; by default you press it when you want a response, and an automatic mode can be turned on. A button gives you control over when an answer appears; automatic answering keeps your hands free. ## Coding questions Parakeet AI has a clear structure for coding answers: a guided approach first, then complete code with syntax highlighting, then optimisation tips. Final Round AI handles coding in the same copilot, with screen help that captures the problem for you. ## Languages If your interview is not in English, both are strong: Final Round AI lists 143 languages and accents, and Parakeet AI more than 50, with switching during the session. ## Price The pricing models are opposites. Final Round AI is a subscription with no free trial for live sessions. Parakeet AI lets you pay per interview, and its credits do not expire. | Your search | Final Round AI | Parakeet AI | |---|---|---| | One one-hour interview | About $148 (one month of Pro) | $38 (one credit) | | Three interviews | About $148 | $59 (three credits) | | A month of interviews | About $148 | $149.90 (unlimited) | | A year | From $25 a month on the longest plan | $449.90 (unlimited, yearly) | Parakeet AI's half credit covers a 30-minute call, and it sells larger packs with free credits added. Final Round AI's free plan covers preparation (resume, job description parsing and a prep checklist) but not live sessions. Prices were checked on 6 October 2026; see [what 18 AI interview assistants cost](https://solvro.in/alternatives/ai-interview-assistant-pricing) for the full table. ## Which should you pick? **For most candidates, our pick is Solvro**, which answers automatically, handles coding with auto-typing and costs less for a busy few weeks (details below). Between these two: - **Final Round AI** suits a long search where you want practice interviews and debriefs in the same product, on a long plan. - **Parakeet AI** suits a handful of calls paid one at a time, or interviews in another language. ## Our pick: Solvro Solvro is a desktop assistant for interviews and online assessments that sits between the two on price. Interview mode answers each spoken question automatically, from your resume, the job description and your instructions. Coding Test mode reads the problem with Ctrl+Shift+S and returns the approach, complexity and code, and auto-typing can type it with human timing. Everything runs on shortcuts you can reassign, and you choose between five models: Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. | | Final Round AI | Parakeet AI | Solvro | |---|---|---|---| | Free trial of live help | No | 10 minutes, restartable | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes, no card | | One interview week | About $148 (a month of Pro) | $38 per one-hour call | $29 for 7 days, unlimited | | A month | About $148 | $149.90 | $49 (Pro+) | | Three months | About $288 ($96 a month, billed quarterly) | $149.90 a month, or the yearly plan | $117 (Pro+, quarterly) | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | No | No | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | | Languages | 143 | 50+ | English interviews | Solvro is the narrower choice on languages: it is built for interviews in English, where both of the others cover dozens.

A conversational AI interviewer asks about your experience, follows up on what you say and passes a transcript and an evaluation to the hiring team. Talent platforms such as Mercor and micro1 use them as a first round. Here is what to expect, what the AI is listening for, how to prepare, and what the platforms allow. ## Two kinds of AI interview | | Conversational AI interview | One-way video interview | |---|---|---| | Who asks | An AI interviewer, out loud | Recorded or written prompts | | Follow-up questions | Yes, based on your answers | No, the questions are fixed | | Typical length | About 20 minutes | Depends on the number of questions | | What the employer gets | A transcript and an evaluation | Your recorded answers, sometimes with scoring | | Examples | Mercor, micro1 | HireVue | This page covers the conversational kind. For recorded interviews, read [HireVue and one-way video interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/hirevue-ai-interview-assistant). ## What happens in a Mercor AI interview Mercor's help pages describe the format: - **Length:** most interviews take about 20 minutes, though some are shorter or longer. - **Questions:** role-specific. Some go deep on your past experience, others test language or reasoning skills. - **Output:** the AI interviewer produces a transcript of your answers and an evaluation of your performance. - **Screen sharing:** some interviews require it, and only full-screen sharing is supported. - **Retakes:** up to three attempts in total for a given interview, counted across all your applications. - **Setup:** a recent Chrome, Edge or Safari, a working camera and microphone, a stable connection and a quiet room. Headphones and an external microphone are recommended. Because retakes are counted across applications, treat your first attempt as the real one. ## micro1 and its AI interviewer, Zara micro1's AI recruiter, Zara, runs conversational interviews tailored to the role, covering technical and interpersonal skills, and writes a structured evaluation afterwards. micro1 has published a paper describing the system, which also offers candidates practice interviews and feedback. If a practice interview is offered, take it: it is the best way to hear how the AI interviewer sounds and paces its questions. ## What the AI interviewer listens for Platforms do not publish their scoring, but the format tells you a lot. The questions come from the role and your resume, and the evaluation is built from a transcript. That rewards: - **Answering the question asked.** Start with a one-sentence answer, then support it. - **Specifics.** Name the project, your role in it, the tools and a number: "cut query time from 9 seconds to 400 milliseconds" beats "improved performance". - **Depth on your own claims.** If your resume says you led a migration, expect to be asked how, why and what went wrong. - **Clear audio.** A transcript is only as good as what the microphone caught, which is why the platforms recommend headphones and a quiet room. - **Structure.** For questions about the past, the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) keeps an answer complete without rambling. ## How to prepare, step by step 1. **Read the role closely.** List the five skills it asks for most, and match each to one example from your work. 2. **Re-read your resume as an interviewer would.** Every line can become a question. Be ready to go two levels deeper on each project. 3. **Build a story bank.** Six to eight STAR stories covering leadership, conflict, failure, teamwork, ambiguity and a result you are proud of. See [AI for behavioral interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/behavioral-interview-ai-assistant) for how. 4. **Practise out loud, with a timer.** Aim for answers of one to two minutes. A general chatbot can play the interviewer; see [ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini for interviews](https://solvro.in/solutions/chatgpt-for-interviews) for prompts that work. 5. **Set up the room the day before.** Test the browser, camera, microphone and headphones, and close anything that makes noise or pops up. 6. **Take any practice round on offer.** Then do the real one when you are fresh. ## During the interview - Take a breath before answering. A two-second pause reads better in a transcript than a false start. - If a question is unclear, say how you understand it, then answer that. - Keep each answer to one main example rather than three thin ones. - If you are asked to share your screen, share the full screen and close everything you do not need. - Speak naturally. Reading a prepared script tends to sound flat, and follow-up questions will take you off it anyway. ## Which AI tools are allowed? Read each platform's rules, because they differ and they are specific. Mercor, for example, allows grammar and wording checks but asks candidates not to use large language models to compose their responses, rate model responses, generate rationales or explanations, or evaluate code. Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help during an interview altogether, and breaking those rules can cost you the role. Using AI to prepare is a different matter, and generally fine: researching the company, drafting your stories and running mock interviews. > **Check the rules first.** Most employers and assessment platforms prohibit outside help in their terms. Solvro keeps its window out of screen captures, but no tool can promise it will never be noticed, and breaking those rules can cost you an offer. Decide for yourself whether that risk is worth taking. ## Where Solvro fits Solvro is a desktop assistant built for live interviews and online assessments. It hears the question through system audio, reads the screen with one shortcut and writes an answer from your resume and the job description, using Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5. Whether you may use it depends on the rules of each interview, so read them first. For a rehearsal, run Interview mode while a friend asks the questions from your target role, and compare its structure with your own answers. **Try it on a practice question.** 10 answers and 10 Interview-mode minutes, free.

Mercor says most of its AI interviews take about 20 minutes, though some are shorter or longer. The questions are specific to the role and often go deep on your past experience. ### Can you retake a Mercor AI interview? Mercor allows up to three attempts in total for a given interview, counted across all your applications, so treat the first attempt as the real one. ### Can I use ChatGPT during an AI interview? Check the platform's rules. Mercor allows grammar and wording checks but asks candidates not to use large language models to compose their responses. Most employers prohibit outside help during interviews. ### How do I pass an AI interview? Answer the question asked in one sentence, then support it with a specific example and a number. Know every line of your resume in depth, practise out loud with a timer, and test your camera, microphone and headphones the day before. ### What is Zara in a micro1 interview? Zara is micro1's AI recruiter. It runs conversational interviews tailored to the role, covering technical and interpersonal skills, and writes a structured evaluation afterwards. *Competitor plans, prices and features are summarised from public product pages and reviews and change often.

Solvro and Sensei AI compared URL: https://solvro.in/alternatives/sensei-ai-alternative Updated: 2026-10-24 Sensei AI is a browser-based interview copilot with real-time speech recognition, a coding copilot, a resume builder and support for more than 30 languages. Its free plan gives 15-minute copilot sessions, and Pro costs $89 a month, or $24 a month on a yearly plan. Candidates usually look elsewhere for one of three reasons: the monthly price, the browser tab during a full-screen share, or wanting a dedicated coding workflow. Here is how Solvro compares. ![Sensei AI's copilot in a browser tab](https://solvro.in/images/guides/ai-interview-assistant-for-data-scientists/sensei-ai-copilot.webp) *Sensei AI's copilot runs in a browser tab beside the interview.* ## Solvro vs Sensei AI at a glance | | Solvro | Sensei AI | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app for Windows and macOS | Web app in a browser tab | | Live interview answers | Automatic, from system audio | Real-time speech recognition | | Coding questions | Coding Test mode: up to 20 screenshots per question, 10+ languages, auto-typing | Coding Copilot | | Multiple-choice tests | MCQ mode | General copilot | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume, stories, tone and response style, knowledge base add-ons | | Spoken languages | English interviews | 30+ languages | | Free option | 10 answers and 10 Interview minutes, no card | 15-minute copilot sessions | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | Pro+ $49 a month; Eternal Pass $348 a year; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days | Pro $89 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly | ## Where Sensei AI is strong - **Languages.** More than 30, so it suits interviews that are not in English, where Solvro does not. - **Preparation tools.** An AI resume builder and a story editor sit beside the copilot, and both are on the free plan. - **Control over style.** You can set tone and response style in detail, and add industry knowledge bases. - **The yearly price.** At $24 a month billed yearly ($288), Sensei AI Pro is one of the cheapest long plans in the category. ## Browser tab or desktop app Sensei AI runs in a browser tab beside your interview. That works well when you share only the meeting window or a single tab. If you have to share your entire screen, to walk through a notebook, a deck or a coding editor, a browser tab is part of what you share. Solvro is a desktop window outside the browser. It sets the operating system's content-protection flag, which excludes its window from screen capture and recording, and it is driven by shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+S captures the screen, Ctrl+Enter sends, Ctrl+Space hides or shows the window. *Screenshot: Solvro beside a coding problem; it is a separate window, not part of the browser.* ## Coding rounds and online assessments Sensei AI includes a Coding Copilot on Pro. Solvro's Coding Test mode is built around timed assessments and live coding: capture each page of a long problem into a queue (up to 20 screenshots), send them as one question, and get the approach, its complexity and the code in your chosen language. Auto-typing can then type it into the editor with human timing. MCQ mode handles the multiple-choice sections that many online assessments include. See [AI online assessment assistants](https://solvro.in/solutions/online-assessment-assistant) for how a full assessment works. *Video: Coding Test mode from capture to answer.* ## Price ![Sensei AI pricing](https://solvro.in/images/guides/final-round-ai-alternatives/sensei-ai-pricing.webp) *Sensei AI's Free plan and Pro plan at $89 a month.* | Your search | Solvro | Sensei AI | |---|---|---| | One interview week | $29 (Sprint Pass) | $89 (one month of Pro) | | One month | $49 (Pro+) | $89 | | Three months | $117 (Pro+, quarterly) | $267 monthly, or $288 for a year | | A year | $348 (Eternal Pass) | $288 (Pro, yearly) | For a short search, Solvro costs less.

It has a free tier, and paid plans cost $59 a month or $149 every 3 months. Here is how Solvro compares, and which suits which candidate. ![Interview Solver homepage](https://solvro.in/images/guides/tech-interview-ai-assistant/interview-solver.webp) *Interview Solver focuses on coding interviews.* ## Solvro vs Interview Solver at a glance | | Solvro | Interview Solver | |---|---|---| | Runs as | Desktop app for Windows and macOS | Desktop app for Windows and macOS, plus a phone companion | | Built for | Live interviews, coding rounds and online assessments | Coding and technical interviews | | Spoken questions | Interview mode answers each question automatically | Transcribes you and the interviewer; answers on a click or shortcut | | Coding questions | Up to 20 screenshots per question, 10+ languages, auto-typing | Screenshot capture and real-time code generation | | Personalisation | Resume, job description, extra context, custom instructions | Resume and job description uploads | | Window opacity | Adjustable by shortcut | Not adjustable, in reviewers' tests | | Models | Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 | Not named on its website | | Works inside locked-down browsers (Respondus, SEB, ExamSoft) | Yes (Ultimate Solvro) | No | | Price | Pro+ $49 a month, or $117 for 3 months; Sprint Pass $29 for 7 days | $59 a month, or $149 every 3 months | ## Where Interview Solver is strong - **Coding focus.** It is built around LeetCode-style problems and system design, and reviewers describe its coding answers as fast and professional. - **Companion mode.** Your phone can act as a remote control, which some candidates prefer to keyboard shortcuts. - **The quarterly plan.** $149 for 3 months is good value if you are interviewing for a whole season. ## Spoken questions Interview Solver transcribes the conversation, but an answer appears when you click or press a shortcut. Solvro's Interview mode detects each question in the transcript and answers it automatically, from your resume and the job description, so you never touch the app while the interviewer is speaking. Ctrl+Shift+N marks a new question if you want a fresh answer. *Video: Interview mode: the question is transcribed and the answer appears while it is still on the table.* ## Coding rounds and assessments Both capture the screen and return code. Solvro adds a queue for long problems: press Ctrl+Shift+S once for each screen (up to 20), then Ctrl+Enter sends them as one question. The answer gives the approach, its complexity and the code in your chosen language, and auto-typing can type it into the editor with human timing instead of pasting. MCQ mode covers the multiple-choice sections of online assessments; see [AI online assessment assistants](https://solvro.in/solutions/online-assessment-assistant). *Screenshot: Two captures of one problem waiting in Solvro's queue.* ## Stability and the window In reviewers' tests, Interview Solver's transparency could not be adjusted, and some reported occasional freezes and trouble finding the window after minimising it. Solvro's window can be faded with Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+], hidden and shown with Ctrl+Space, moved and scrolled, all by shortcut. Whichever you use, run a full practice call before the real interview. ## Price | Your search | Solvro | Interview Solver | |---|---|---| | One interview week | $29 (Sprint Pass) | $59 (one month) | | One month | $49 (Pro+) | $59 | | Three months | $117 (Pro+, quarterly) | $149 | Over three months the two cost about the same; for a single interview week, Solvro's Sprint Pass costs less.
