A local-first AI interview copilot for the real interview.
SideSense is an interview copilot that helps you before the interview and during it. Rehearse with scored mock interviews in Coach, then get quiet, real-time answer drafts from your own resume in Assist. Everything runs on your machine.
Most interview copilots only help during the call. This one trains you too.
The tools people know draft an answer while the interviewer is talking. That helps in the moment, but it does nothing for the next interview. SideSense is built as two halves that share one growth graph.
Coach plays a realistic interviewer, asks follow-ups, and scores every answer against a rubric. You see your filler rate, talk ratio, and the topics dragging you down, then drill exactly those until they feel easy.
It sits on your side of the screen, not in the meeting.
SideSense never joins the call as a bot and never shows up in the participant list. It listens to your microphone and system audio locally, transcribes the question, and drafts a first-person answer you can use, shorten, or ignore.
Because it runs on your machine, your resume and your recordings never leave it. You can run fully offline with Ollama at no cost, or plug in your own key from any provider you already use.
Built for interviews, meetings, and live classes.
Add your resume for job interviews, your notes for work calls, or your study material for a class. SideSense reads what you give it and answers in your own words, so nothing sounds like it came from a template.
Questions, answered.
What is an AI interview copilot?
It is a tool that listens to an interview in real time and drafts answers for you as questions are asked. SideSense adds a practice side too, so you can rehearse and improve before the real call, not just get help during it.
Does SideSense join my interview as a bot?
No. It runs quietly on your own screen and never joins the meeting or appears in the participant list. It listens through your microphone and system audio locally.
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.
