Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what PiriPiri AI does, what it costs, and how it compares. Prices and trial figures on this page are generated from the same live data as our checkout, so they are current by construction.
The basics
Is PiriPiri AI visible when I share my screen?
No. The overlay is a frameless, always-on-top window that is excluded from screen capture. You can share your entire desktop in Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams and the interviewer never sees PiriPiri AI — only you do.
Does it work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. PiriPiri AI captures your microphone and the system audio of the call, so it works with any meeting tool — Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, or a plain phone screen. No bot joins the call and there is nothing for the interviewer to install.
Does the other person need to install anything?
No. Everything runs locally on your computer. The interviewer sees a normal call — no plugin, no bot, no second participant.
How much does it cost?
You start with 3 free sessions of 10 minutes each — no credit card required. After that you buy sessions in packs; each session is a fixed block of live transcription, charged when you start it. There is no recurring subscription.
What are the system requirements?
PiriPiri AI runs on macOS 13 or later (Apple Silicon) and on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). It needs microphone and screen-recording permission so it can hear both sides of the call.
Is the conversation recorded, and is that legal?
Audio is transcribed to power live answers and stored in your account until you delete it. Recording and wiretap laws vary by jurisdiction and many require all-party consent — you are responsible for complying with the law where you are. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Choosing an interview copilot
Is there an AI that listens to my interview and answers in real time?
Yes — that is what PiriPiri AI is. It is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that hears both sides of a live call (your microphone and the interviewer's audio), transcribes as you go, and drafts an answer while the question is still being asked. The answers appear on a floating overlay that only you can see.
What exactly does PiriPiri AI cost?
There is no subscription. You start with 3 free sessions free, no credit card. Paid packs are one-time purchases that never expire: $5 for 2 sessions, $12 for 6 sessions, and $29 for 20 sessions. That works out to about $2.50 per hour-long interview.
How is PiriPiri AI different from subscription tools like Cluely or Final Round AI?
Two ways. Billing: most interview copilots are subscriptions in the $25–$299-per-month range, while PiriPiri AI sells one-time session packs — about $2.50 per interview, nothing recurring. Stealth: some rivals gate the invisible-on-screen-share mode behind a premium tier; PiriPiri AI includes it on every plan, free trial included.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT in another window?
ChatGPT cannot hear your call. You would have to re-type each question mid-interview, the reply arrives as a wall of text, and an open browser window shows up the moment you share your screen. PiriPiri AI hears the question as it is asked, answers in skimmable bullets in seconds, and its overlay is excluded from screen capture entirely.
Does it work for coding and technical interviews?
Yes. It listens and answers through system-design and CS questions like any other, and a global hotkey runs screen analysis — it reads the coding question off your screen and drafts an approach. There are role playbooks for software engineering, data, product, consulting and more.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes — 3 sessions free with no credit card, with the invisible overlay included. The trial is meant to be spent on a real call, so you can confirm it works with your meeting setup before buying anything.
