Using an AI Assistant in a Google Meet Interview

Google Meet runs in your browser or its desktop client, and most AI interview assistants work in one of two ways: a meeting bot that joins the call as a participant, or a local app that listens to audio on your own device. SubcueAI uses the second approach.

It runs as a native desktop app on macOS and Windows, captures both your microphone and the system audio coming out of Google Meet, and shows suggested answers in a floating overlay that lives only on your screen. There is no bot in the participant list and no browser plugin to install. See how it works for more detail.

• Behavioral questions — structured prompts (e.g. situation, action, result) as the interviewer is speaking.
• Technical and system design questions — outlines, trade-offs, and follow-up points you can adapt in your own words.
• Clarifying or recap moments — a running transcript so you can re-read a long question instead of asking the interviewer to repeat it.

For interview-format specifics, see interview types.

No AI assistant is universally invisible, and we will not claim otherwise. There are situations where using one is risky or simply not appropriate:

• Screen sharing — if you share your entire screen in Google Meet, the overlay is visible like any other window.
• Recorded interviews — anything you say out loud is captured in the recording, regardless of where suggestions came from.
• Proctored or locked-down assessments — these environments are explicitly out of scope.
• Company-managed devices — your employer or the hiring company may restrict what software can run.

The short version: install the desktop app, grant microphone and system-audio permissions so it can hear both sides of the call, and do a practice run before the real interview. A full walkthrough is on the tutorial page, and pricing is on the pricing page.
