A coding interview copilot that helps you understand, not just paste.
SideSense reads the problem in front of you and drafts a structured approach: the idea, the tradeoffs, the complexity. Then it coaches you to explain it out loud, because the hard part of a coding interview is thinking while you talk.
Knowing the answer is not the same as saying it under pressure.
Plenty of engineers can solve the problem alone and freeze the moment someone is watching. SideSense Coach fixes that by making you rehearse the part that actually breaks: talking through your approach while you write it.
In a live coding round, Assist reads the problem on screen and drafts a breakdown you can lean on: a plain-language approach, edge cases to mention, and time and space complexity. You stay the one thinking. It is a second brain, not a copy-paste button.
Practice the languages you actually interview in.
Drill data structures and algorithms in the language you use, and let Coach score how clearly you explain each solution. Weak topics resurface until they stop being weak.
Local, so your code and your screen stay yours.
Everything runs on your own machine. Run offline with Ollama or bring your own key. Your problems, your solutions, and your screen never get shipped to a server we control.
Questions, answered.
Can it help with LeetCode or HackerRank style problems?
It reads the problem on your screen and drafts a structured approach with complexity analysis. The goal is to help you understand and explain the solution, which is what interviewers actually score.
Is this just a way to cheat?
No. SideSense is built around Coach, where you practice until the answer comes cleanly, and Assist, which is an unobtrusive second brain. It is designed to make you genuinely better, not to fake your way through.
Is my data private?
Yes. Audio and transcripts are processed on your own machine. Run fully offline with Ollama, or bring your own model key. Nothing is uploaded to our servers and nothing is stored there.
What does it cost?
It is free while we are in early access. Paid Pro and Teams plans come later, and early-access users hear first. There are no metered credits to keep topping up.
Solve it, then explain it like you have done it a hundred times.
Coach plus Assist for coding rounds. Free in early access.
