From the README
The invisible AI interview copilot.
Real-time AI help on a stealth overlay that screen sharing cannot see. Ask by voice or screenshot, and get clear answers that stream in as you need them.
OpenCluely is a desktop app for technical interviews and practice. It places a small overlay on your screen that recording and conferencing tools do not capture. You can speak a question or take a screenshot, and the AI answers in real time. The answer streams into a floating window and an optional chat panel, with clean code blocks and syntax highlighting.
It is free and open source. Processing stays on your machine, and the only thing that leaves your device is the request you send to the AI provider.
