Desktop app for live interview assistance. It captures system audio, transcribes speech in real time, and can answer questions using text or screenshots.

I’m Ved Gupta. I built this project to make live interview support faster and less distracting.

If you find the project useful, please star the repo on GitHub.

macOS:

brew tap innovatorved/tap
brew install --cask realtime-interview-copilot

To update an existing Homebrew install:

brew update
brew upgrade --cask realtime-interview-copilot

If the upgrade fails, reinstall:

brew reinstall --cask realtime-interview-copilot

Homebrew-managed installs should use brew upgrade rather than the in-app updater.

Windows releases are available on the GitHub Releases page.

• Live transcription of system audio (no virtual audio driver required on macOS)
• AI answers from transcript, typed questions, or screenshots
• Compact mode — picture-in-picture overlay with click-through; toolbar stays interactive while empty space passes clicks to apps behind
• Backdrop slider — Title bar − / + controls window transparency (full mode dims the whole UI; compact mode dims only the title bar and toolbar strip)
• Hidden from normal screen sharing (contentProtection + macOS sharing settings)
• In-app Check for updates (Title bar download icon); Homebrew installs should still use brew upgrade --cask
• Keyboard shortcuts (see below)

On first launch, macOS may prompt for Screen Recording (system audio) and Microphone (Ask AI dictation). In compact mode, a small Screen access chip opens System Settings without blocking the overlay.
