Practice like it's real.
Perform like a pro.
SideSense Pro is one AI copilot that coaches you before the interview and sits quietly on your side during the real one, listening, drafting answers from your own materials, and scoring how you did.
Realistic mock interviews and drills that score every answer, so nothing catches you off guard.
In interviews and meetings, SideSense drafts answers as questions land, then summarizes the call and writes your follow-up email.
One growth graph across Coach and Assist tracks your score, filler words, and weak topics.
Rehearse in Coach. Win in Assist.
SideSense plays the interviewer through realistic mock interviews and class drills, scores every answer against a rubric, and shows you exactly what to fix next time.
During the real interview, meeting, or class, SideSense listens live and drafts first-person answers from the materials you add (résumé, meeting notes, or study docs) the moment a question lands, quietly, on your side of the screen.
Three steps, one tap to go live.
Choose Coach or Assist, your session type, mic + system audio, and the model you want to run.
Run a mock interview, or start live, and SideSense listens and drafts answers in your voice as questions come.
Every session feeds one growth graph: score, filler rate, talk ratio, and the topics to drill next.
Interview, meeting, or class: go live in one tap.
Pick Coach to rehearse or Assist to go live, choose your session type, confirm capture, and you're ready. SideSense pulls in your own materials so answers sound like you.
Know your score before they do.
Interview score, filler rate, talk ratio and your weakest topics, measured every session and tracked on one graph across Coach and Assist. See the trend, then practice the exact things holding you back.
Answer it once. Reuse it live.
Save a strong answer to a question you know will come up. When it appears in a real session, SideSense auto-answers it in your own words. No scrambling, no blanking.
Grounds an LLM in your own documents: retrieve relevant chunks, put them in the prompt, generate…
useMemo caches a computed value; useCallback caches the function itself. Use it for stable prop fns.
People walk in calmer.
“I did six mock interviews the week before my placement. By the real one it felt like a rerun. I already knew my weak answers.”
“The talk-ratio and filler feedback was brutal in the best way. I finally stopped saying 'um' every sentence.”
“Running everything locally sold me. My résumé and recordings never touch a server I don't control.”
I built this for the people who knew the answer and still couldn't say it.
For years I've taught machine learning to hundreds of thousands of students, and every batch had the same story: someone who clearly knew the material would sit down for an interview and freeze. Not from lack of preparation, but because knowing something and performing it under pressure are two very different skills.
I've been on the other side of the table too, trying to listen, think, and answer in a live meeting while scribbling notes I'd never read again. You lose half the conversation to note-taking, and the other half to nerves.
As a teacher, I wanted people to practice until the answer comes out clean. As a student, I wanted something in the room that had my back, without recording me or shipping my voice off to some server.
So I built both into one tool. Coach drills you until it's muscle memory. Assist sits quietly beside you in the real thing. Everything runs on your own machine, because your interview is yours.
If you've ever walked out of a room knowing you had more to give, this is for you. Get on the list, and I'll tell you the moment it's ready.
Your conversations never leave your machine.

Questions, answered.
What's the difference between Coach and Assist?
Coach is for rehearsing beforehand: mock interviews and drills that score you. Assist runs during the real call, quietly drafting answers from your résumé. Both feed the same growth graph.
Is my data private?
What's said in your sessions stays on your machine: audio and transcripts are processed on-device and never uploaded to a SideSense server. A small amount of account data (name, email, plan) runs sign-in and billing. Run fully offline with Ollama, use your own key, or (coming soon) a hosted lane on paid plans. See the privacy page for the exact line.
Do I need an API key?
Not for the free local path. Install Ollama and run models offline at no cost, or plug in your own key from any provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, and others) if you'd rather use a hosted model.
Which platforms are supported?
SideSense Pro is Windows-first at launch, capturing your mic and system audio. Other platforms are on the roadmap.
What does it cost?
It's free while we're in early access. Paid plans (Pro+, Max, and Ultra) will come later, and early-access users get a heads-up first.
