Undetectable AI that listens to your interview and shows you what to say in less than a second, grounded in your resume, in your own words. Only you can see it.
Blanking out, curveball follow-ups, English under pressure: prep docs never keep up with a real interview. ClapAssist follows the conversation live, so the answer is on your screen the instant the question lands.
"How do you scale database throughput under peak traffic?"
ClapAssist hears each question as it is asked, even the vague, rambling ones, and reads the context of your interview in real time. Nothing joins the call.
A concise, spoken-ready answer shows up only on your screen, built from your real roles, projects and numbers rather than textbook filler.
Glance, absorb, and say it in your own words. No reciting, no awkward pauses, no getting caught flat-footed by a follow-up.
No bot joins the call. Nothing shows up in screen shares or recordings. The overlay sits at your eye line, so reading looks like thinking. Your audio is processed on your own computer and never stored.
No bot in the participant list and no "recording assistant" asking to be let in. ClapAssist listens on your device, so the guest list stays exactly as it should be.
When you present or record, the ClapAssist window is excluded from capture. Your notes stay private and your shared screen shows only your work.
The overlay is fully moveable, so you can park it right under your camera line and read comfortably without breaking your flow.
Everything runs on your device and our servers. Nothing ever enters the meeting.
Pay once for a pass. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel, no surprise charges.
Minutes count down only while a session is live. Pausing and reading cost nothing.
ClapAssist is not code-signed yet, so your OS shows a one-time "unknown developer" prompt. Here is how to clear it.
Pay once. No subscription, nothing auto-renews. Prices are shown for your region automatically. One account works on Mac and Windows.
CLAP20Redeem it in the app under Account → Redeem for 20 extra minutes, free. One per account.Checked against nine other interview assistants, on their own public pages. Then the full table.
Turn it on and your interview audio is transcribed on your own Mac. Only the text leaves. Nobody else in this list offers it.
If Respondus, ProctorU, Safe Exam Browser and the like are running, ClapAssist tells you. It never hides from them. Others advertise the opposite.
It hears both sides separately. If you have just replied, it stays quiet instead of repeating a question you handled.
No analytics SDK, no usage beacons. The server keeps only what it needs to meter minutes. Never the content.
Resume, job description and notes live on your device and ride inside each request. They are never stored on our servers.

Because interviews do not follow your prep doc. ClapAssist answers the question that was actually asked, follow-ups and curveballs included, using your real experience at the moment it matters.
Three layers: it never joins the call (no bot in the participant list), the window is invisible to screen share and recordings, and the overlay sits at your eye line so reading looks like thinking. One honest note: ClapAssist is built for video interviews on Zoom, Meet and Teams. It is not a bypass for locked-down coding platforms like HackerRank or CoderPad, which watch focus and keystrokes.
No. The window lives only on your screen and is excluded from capture. Use it as a private prompt: glance, absorb, and answer in your own words. ClapAssist writes spoken-ready answers to make that natural.
Every account starts with 10 free interview minutes, full AI answers, no card required. It is a one-time starter allowance to try everything. When you have a real interview, the Interview Pass adds 120 minutes for 30 days, and Pro removes the meter entirely.
Minutes are used only while a live session is running and ClapAssist is listening. Pause the session and the meter stops. Reading past answers, editing your documents, and sitting idle cost nothing.
Our standard price. The offer on the card is tied to the occasion named on it and ends on the date shown; you pay the smaller number at checkout. No timers that reset when you reload.
No. Pro is a single payment for 30 days of unlimited use. There is no auto-charge: when the period ends your account simply returns to the Free plan, and you renew only if you want to.
No. ClapAssist connects to top-tier AI models through our own servers. You sign in with an email or Google account and it just works, with nothing to configure.
No. Audio is processed to produce the answer and is not kept on our servers. Your resume and notes stay on your device and travel only inside the AI request that needs them. Details in the Privacy Policy.
Cluely sells "hidden from screen share" as a separate $149.99-a-month tier. ClapAssist includes it in every plan, including the free one, and every ClapAssist pass is a single payment that never renews. Cluely also does meeting notes; ClapAssist is built only for the live interview. Full side-by-side on the Cluely alternative page.
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel, one universal app) and Windows 10 and 11 (both regular and ARM laptops, one installer). One account signs into both.
