SideSense Pro
Free & local with Ollama — no API key required

Practice in Coach.
Perform in Assist.

SideSense Pro is the AI copilot that trains you before the interview and stays on your side during the real meeting — with one growth graph tracking both.

Windows-only at launch · local-first · your data never leaves your machine

Ready when you are

Nothing is being captured. Start a session and SideSense will listen, detect questions, and draft answers in real time.

Live interviewSystem audio + MicOllama · local

One app, two sides of the same skill

Every session — mock or real — feeds the same growth dashboard, so the practice you put in actually shows up when it counts.

COACHPractice & get evaluated

Mock interviews that feel real

The AI interviewer asks questions from your actual resume and the job description, drills into your answers with follow-ups, and scores you on a rubric — never on similarity to some "model answer."

  • Resume + job description → tailored questions and a resume↔JD match score
  • Fresher screen → Standard round → Senior panel → Bar-raiser difficulty
  • Rubric scoring: relevance, structure, specificity, impact — plus STAR detection
  • Filler words, pace, and (opt-in) camera coaching on eye contact & delivery
  • Personal answer bank + "practice these again" for your weakest questions

Coach is interview practice — never presented as live interview assistance.

ASSISTAI on your side, live

A copilot for real calls

SideSense listens to both sides of a live meeting or interview, detects real questions the moment they're asked, and drafts an answer instantly — grounded in your resume when it matters.

  • Two-channel listening (mic + system audio) with real-time question detection
  • Instant, first-person answer drafts — never invents experience you don't have
  • Post-call brief: summary, decisions, and your own commitments as action items
  • Self-only delivery coaching: talk-time ratio, fillers, interruptions, participation
  • Live class mode adapts labels for teaching vs. attending automatically

Assist scores you, never the other participants — coaching, not surveillance.

Built for the full loop, not just the demo moment

Everything runs locally by default. Nothing leaves your machine unless you choose a cloud model.

Growth dashboard

Interview score history, filler-rate trends, and weak-topic detection across every session — coach and assist, in one graph.

Question bank

Save and reuse answers to questions you've already nailed; SideSense auto-serves a match the next time it comes up live.

Any model, your choice

Ollama for free, fully local answers, or bring your own Claude, GPT, or OpenRouter key — swap providers per session.

Near-human voice

Kokoro runs locally as the free default TTS voice; opt into ElevenLabs with your own key for premium narration.

Camera coaching

Opt-in, local-only eye-contact and delivery cues during mock interviews. Never emotion inference, never in Assist mode.

Reports & exports

Markdown exports are always free. Upgrade for PDF/DOCX report cards, Notion & Google Docs, and follow-up email drafts.
