Best AI interview assistant for Zoom, Google Meet and Teams (2026)

1. PiriPiri AI: the same setup on Zoom, Meet, Teams and Webex

Pricing: $2.50 / hour · one price per session
Free to try: 3 sessions free · no card
Hidden on screen share: Included on every plan
Runs on: Desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 or 11

PiriPiri AI is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that hears both sides of the call on your own computer: your microphone, and the interviewer's voice from the computer's sound output. No bot joins the meeting and nothing plugs into the meeting app, so the same setup works on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and calls in a browser tab.

On a Mac, the interviewer's audio comes in through a Core Audio process tap. You switch PiriPiri AI on once under Privacy & Security, Screen & System Audio Recording, then quit and reopen it; it needs macOS 14.2 or later, and on macOS 13 the microphone side still works. On Windows it hears whatever plays through your default speaker or headset, so check that your meeting app plays through that device.

The overlay is excluded from screen capture by the operating system: on macOS its window sharing is set to none, and on Windows its display affinity excludes it from capture. That holds on every plan and on the free trial, so there is no stealth tier to buy, and you can see what an interviewer would see before you spend anything. Meeting apps change how they capture, though, and other vendors on this page document settings that matter. Run a test share in your own app, with your usual settings, sharing the entire screen and then one window, before a real interview.

During the call you get a live transcript of both speakers, and an answer starts drafting as the question lands. Answer now, Deep dive (a longer answer to the same question) and stepping through earlier answers are all global hotkeys, so focus stays on the meeting window. Analyze screen reads a shared coding problem or case chart and answers it. Upload your CV, paste the job description and pick your role and answer style, and the drafts draw on your own experience.

It costs about $2.50 per interview on the entry pack and $1.45 per session on the largest, in one-time packs that never expire, with no subscription required. You start with 3 free sessions of 10 minutes each and no card, which covers a test share before you pay.

Best for: People interviewing in English on any meeting app who want screen share hiding on every plan, the free trial included, and to pay per interview.

Worth knowing: Speech recognition is English only. It is a desktop app for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer) and Windows 10 or 11, with no browser, phone or Linux version, and it comes from a newer company with a small team.

2. Ophy AI: a new desktop app hidden on an entire-screen share

Pricing: $9.99 one-time pass · $29/mo Pro · $59/mo Premium (source)
Free to try: First session free (15 min)
Hidden on screen share: Desktop app hidden by the OS
Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app, plus web and phone apps

Ophy AI has desktop apps for Mac and Windows as well as a browser version, and the desktop app is the one that hides from a full-screen share. Ophy says its answer window is excluded from capture by the operating system, and that Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex capture what is behind it even when you share your entire screen. It hears the interviewer through your computer's system audio, so there is no tab to share and no virtual audio cable.

Its Teams page adds that audio routing differs between the Teams web and desktop clients, so test the one you will use. Ophy also publishes a two-minute check: start a meeting with only yourself, share your entire screen, start a local recording if the app allows it, then open the answer window and confirm it is missing from the preview and the recording.

The browser version, Whisper Mode, is a picture-in-picture window, and Ophy says a full-screen share can pick it up, so use it only with a tab or window share. Ophy also notes the window is still visible to a camera, to anyone in the room, and possibly to proctoring software that lists running apps. A one-time Interview Pass is $9.99 for one session of up to two hours, and the first copilot session is free for up to 15 minutes.

Best for: Someone with one or two interviews who wants a desktop window the OS hides, a one-time pass, or an interview in a language other than English.

Worth knowing: Its desktop apps are new (the download page lists Mac 1.0.0 from September 14, 2026 and Windows 1.0.1 from October 22, 2026), so test a share in your own app.

3. ParakeetAI: tested by its maker on six meeting apps, plus a Zoom setting

Pricing: $38 per 1-hr credit · $149.90/mo · $599.90/yr (source)
Free to try: 10 free sessions of 10 min
Hidden on screen share: Desktop app hidden by the OS
Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app, plus a web app

ParakeetAI publishes the apps it tests its hiding on: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Lark and Amazon Chime, plus CoderPad and HackerRank. Its desktop app for Mac and Windows is left out of screen capture by the operating system, so a share of your whole screen shows what is behind it. That is its Private switch, on by default and turned back on at the start of every session. In an interview it locks once the call is live, so leave it on before you connect.

Zoom is the exception it calls out. Its FAQ says to update Zoom to the latest version and turn on Advanced capture with window filtering in Zoom's settings, or ParakeetAI can show in what you share. Make that change before the interview, not during it.

It also runs as a web app in desktop Chrome, which is how it works on Linux. That version is an ordinary tab and cannot hide itself, so ParakeetAI says to share only the interview's tab or window, or keep it on a screen you are not sharing. It hears the call through a tab you share to it with tab audio ticked, so the meeting must be in Chrome too.

One credit, an hour of call time, is $38, and the free tier of 10 sessions of up to 10 minutes leaves room for a test share in each app you use.

Best for: People who want a desktop app with a published list of tested meeting apps, and who may also need a Chrome or Linux option.

Worth knowing: Its FAQ says it can show in a Zoom share unless you change a capture setting, and its web version shows on any share that includes its tab.

4. LockedIn AI: both share modes, from the desktop meeting app

Pricing: $119.99/mo Pro · $79.99/mo quarterly (source)
Free to try: 5-min sessions · 60 min/day
Hidden on screen share: Stealth Mode, not on the General plan
Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app, plus a web app

LockedIn AI's support pages spell out share modes in detail. In its desktop app, Stealth Mode is on by default, and LockedIn says sharing your entire screen and sharing a single window both work, as long as your meeting app is also the desktop version. It also says no Zoom setting is needed: the app offers to walk you through one, but skipping it does not affect hiding.

It also lists the gaps. Teams in a browser is a known gap where LockedIn AI can be visible, so it tells you to use the desktop Teams app. Joining any meeting in a browser tab rather than a desktop client is untested. And the web version of LockedIn AI hides nothing: share only the interview tab, never your full screen.

A useful extra: a Test Stealth Mode button opens a live capture preview and reports whether hiding is on, though LockedIn still advises a dry run in the exact app and share mode you will use. On a Mac it needs macOS 13 or newer, plus Screen & System Audio Recording, Microphone and Accessibility permissions.

Stealth Mode needs a paid plan, and not every one: LockedIn includes it on every paid plan except Unlimited General. Pro is $119.99 a month, or $79.99 a month billed quarterly. The free plan gives 5-minute sessions up to 60 minutes a day, enough to try the transcript but not a hidden share.

Best for: People who join from the desktop Zoom or Teams app, want a preview of what a share shows, and are fine paying for a plan.

Worth knowing: Hiding needs a paid plan other than Unlimited General, and Teams in a browser is a gap that LockedIn itself flags.

5. Final Round AI: Stealth Mode in the desktop app, after you subscribe

Pricing: From $25/mo · free plan (source)
Free to try: Free plan · live copilot needs Pro
Hidden on screen share: In the $25+/mo Pro plan
Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app

Final Round AI now runs its live copilot in a desktop app for Mac and Windows, and says it works with calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and browser meeting tools. Stealth Mode keeps its windows out of screen shares and recordings in supported meeting apps. It is on by default and lives under Settings, Privacy & Stealth; turn it off, Final Round says, and shared screens and recordings can include the assistant.

With Stealth on, the copilot is designed to stay hidden in supported full-screen sharing as well as window sharing, but Final Round says results depend on your operating system and the capture method the meeting software uses, and that this protection is not a promise no platform or monitoring tool can notice the app. On a Mac, hearing a call on the same computer needs macOS 14.4 or newer and system audio permission as well as the microphone.

Pro starts at $25 a month and includes Stealth Mode, but the free plan has no live copilot, so you cannot try a live session, or see how it looks in a share, before you pay. Its FAQ describes a 72-hour money-back window on subscription charges, with conditions on how much you have used.

Best for: People with several interviews ahead who already plan to pay for a month and use Zoom, Meet or Teams.

Worth knowing: It is a subscription, and the free plan has no live copilot, so a full rehearsal means paying first.

6. Cluely: a meeting assistant whose hiding is a separate plan

Pricing: $19.99/mo · $149.99/mo for stealth (source)
Free to try: Free plan (limited)
Hidden on screen share: Only on the $149.99/mo tier
Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app

Cluely is a general meeting assistant, pitched for meetings, homework and sales calls, and it names a long list of apps: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and Slack calls, and its help center adds Amazon Chime, Lark and RingCentral. By its own help article, it is not compatible with FaceTime.

For this question, hiding is where it falls behind. It is off by default: you turn it on in Settings, General, and since October 22, 2025 it needs a separate plan at $149.99 a month. A dashed line around the widget shows it is on. The same help article lists exceptions. Zoom is not covered by default: you need Zoom 6.16 or older, or Advanced capture with window filtering. Cluely is not hidden from a Teams entire-screen share (the article names Windows 10 and Windows 11 Home), and elsewhere it says Teams and Zoom both show Cluely when you share the entire screen.

Cluely's own quick test is to turn the hiding mode on and screenshot your entire screen. If Cluely appears, your system is not compatible; it names Windows 10 and Macs from before 2022, and says to contact support for a refund if you subscribed on one. Pro without hiding is $19.99 a month.

Best for: People who want one assistant for everyday calls across Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack, and only interview now and then.

Worth knowing: Hiding costs $149.99 a month and stays off until you switch it on, and Cluely's own help lists entire-screen shares in Teams and Zoom among the cases where it shows.
