OphyAI runs in a browser alongside your Zoom call, or in the desktop app for Mac and Windows, listens for spoken questions, and streams answer suggestions using your resume and job description as context. In the browser, Whisper Mode opens a separate floating window; the desktop app's answer window is hidden from Zoom screen sharing, even when you share your whole screen. Test your exact audio and screen-share setup before an important interview.
For a Zoom interview, the important checks are audio capture, screen-share boundaries, response timing, and whether suggestions reflect your real experience. OphyAI works in the browser or as a desktop app for Mac and Windows, but performance varies with the device, browser, microphone, connection, and question.
Why use OphyAI as your Interview Copilot?
Whisper Mode for Zoom screen shares
The answer panel renders locally via Document Picture-in-Picture and is designed for private notes during normal Zoom tab and window screen-share workflows. Use it as private on-screen notes while you continue answering naturally.
Streamed answer suggestions
Server-Sent Events show suggestions as the model generates them. Timing varies with audio quality, connection, question, and model, so test the workflow with a realistic call first.
Works on Zoom web and Zoom desktop
Runs in any modern browser tab next to the Zoom call: Zoom for the call, OphyAI for the copilot. No browser extension, no install, no admin permissions required. On Mac and Windows you can also use the OphyAI desktop app, which hears Zoom through system audio with no virtual audio cable.
Resume and job-description context
The copilot can use your uploaded resume and job description when suggesting answer structure. Verify every detail and speak from experience you genuinely have.
35 languages including Hindi & Mandarin
Speech recognition and answer generation in 35 languages. Useful for Zoom interviews at multinational companies that conduct rounds in Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Mandarin.
Pro from $29 per month
The first Standard Copilot session is available for up to 15 minutes without a credit card. Use it to test audio capture and the floating workspace.
How to set up Interview Copilot in under 2 minutes
Start in the browser with nothing to install: the browser overlay is designed for normal tab and window screen-share workflows. On Mac and Windows you can also use the OphyAI desktop app, whose answer window is hidden from screen sharing and recording. The steps below cover the browser version.
1
Sign up and upload resume
Create a free OphyAI account at app.ophyai.com/auth/signup and upload your latest resume PDF. The copilot uses it to ground answer suggestions.
2
Open Interview Copilot tab
In a separate browser tab from Zoom, open the OphyAI Interview Copilot. Grant microphone permission so it can hear the Zoom audio. (On Mac or Windows you can use the OphyAI desktop app instead.)
3
Enable Whisper Mode
Click "Whisper Mode" to pop the answer panel into a Picture-in-Picture window. Drag it to a second monitor or to the edge of your primary screen.
4
Join your Zoom interview
Join the Zoom call as normal. The copilot listens for spoken questions and streams suggestions when it detects one.

Real-time AI answers, Whisper Mode for private on-screen notes, a desktop app for Mac and Windows that stays out of screen shares, 35 languages, from $29/mo. Free trial, no credit card required.
OphyAI runs in a browser alongside Zoom and uses browser audio permission to listen for interview questions. Audio routing and browser support vary by device and Zoom client, so use the first 15-minute Standard session to test the exact setup you plan to use. On Mac and Windows, the OphyAI desktop app hears the interviewer through system audio instead.
In the browser, Whisper Mode opens a separate floating window that may stay outside a shared tab or application window. Full-screen sharing, recording tools, managed-device software, and different browser or operating-system behavior can expose more. The OphyAI desktop app for Mac and Windows is the stronger option for screen sharing: the operating system excludes its answer window from screen sharing and recording, so Zoom does not show it even on a full-screen share. It does not hide the window from a camera pointed at your screen, someone in the room, or proctoring software that inspects running apps. Test the exact setup and follow the interview rules.
No. Zoom AI Companion is a built-in meeting assistant that summarizes the call and helps with action items — it is not designed for job interviews and does not generate tailored, resume-grounded answers in real time. OphyAI Interview Copilot is purpose-built for interviews and works alongside Zoom regardless of which Zoom plan the host is on.
OphyAI uses your browser microphone permission independently of Zoom. The copilot only listens for interview audio; it does not inject audio into the Zoom call.
Core browser access may work on different devices, but Whisper Mode depends on browser support for Document Picture-in-Picture. Test the current browser and operating system before relying on it. A managed device may also block microphone or floating-window access.
Rules vary by employer, assessment, contract, and jurisdiction. Follow any instruction about outside assistance, disclosure, recording, confidentiality, or device use. Do not use the tool to fabricate experience or bypass a proctored assessment.
OphyAI Pro is $29 per month with 300 credits and Premium is $59 per month with 500. The first Standard Copilot session is capped at 15 minutes and does not require a credit card. Ongoing Copilot access requires Pro, Premium, or an eligible Interview Pass.
