InterviewBeaconAI interview assistant for any job interview
InterviewBeacon listens to your live interview and privately suggests what to say, in real time — for sales, consulting, marketing, management, behavioral rounds, and more.
One-time purchase · 14-day refund · macOS & Windows
InterviewBeacon is a desktop app that listens to your interview call, transcribes it locally on your device, and shows you a private AI answer suggestion in real time — while the conversation is happening. It's built for any profession, not just technical roles.
How it works
- Listen. InterviewBeacon captures system audio during your call — no bot joining, works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and other video call apps.
- Transcribe locally. Speech-to-text runs on your machine, not a server.
- See a suggestion. A private answer appears in a hint window only you see.
Why this is different
- Bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic key — no markup, you pay the provider directly
- Local transcription — audio never leaves your machine
- Real-time help, live during the call — not a pre-interview practice tool
- One-time purchase, not a subscription
- macOS and Windows
- Optional screen-share exclusion, off by default

Do I need my own OpenAI or Anthropic API key?
Yes — InterviewBeacon is BYOK (bring your own key). You pay your LLM provider directly, at their cost, with no markup from us.
Does InterviewBeacon record or store audio?
No. Audio is transcribed locally on your device and never sent to our servers or written to disk, except your chosen LLM provider's API for generating an answer.
Does this work for non-technical interviews and my profession?
Yes — InterviewBeacon is built for any interview, any profession: sales, consulting, marketing, management, behavioral rounds, and more. There's nothing coding-specific about it.
What's the refund policy?
14 days, no hoops — for technical issues or an accidental purchase.
Does the screen-share exclusion setting keep the hint window out of my screen share?
The setting keeps the hint window out of your own screen-share/recording stream — it's about your screen privacy, off by default, and always toggleable.
Does InterviewBeacon work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. InterviewBeacon listens to system audio, not any specific call platform's API, so it works the same regardless of which app the call is in — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or others.
What happens after I buy?
You download the same desktop app that powers our sibling product for technical interviews, SyntaxCue (syntaxcue.com) — same engine, positioned here for interviews outside software engineering. Activate it with your own API key and it's ready for your next call within a couple of minutes.
InterviewBeacon runs on the same application as SyntaxCue, our companion product for technical coding interviews. Whichever name you came through, the app you install is the same full product — we simply keep two front doors for two very different audiences.
