什麼是面試副駕駛？

An interview copilot is a real-time assistant that runs alongside your video interview. While you and the interviewer talk, it listens to the audio, converts speech into text, and uses a language model to draft suggested answers, follow-up points, or code snippets you can glance at while replying.

The goal is not to script you word-for-word — it's to reduce blanking, jog memory on technical concepts, and help you structure responses for behavioral or system-design questions. You stay in control of what you actually say.

SubcueAI is one example of this category. You can see how it's positioned against other tools on our best AI interview assistant page.

The core technical challenge is hearing both the interviewer and you. Copilots generally take one of two approaches:

• Meeting bot — a virtual participant joins the Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call and records audio server-side. Visible to everyone on the participant list.
• Native desktop dual audio capture — the app runs locally on macOS or Windows and captures system output (interviewer) plus microphone input (you) directly from the OS, without joining the call.

SubcueAI uses the second approach: a native desktop app with dual audio capture and a floating local overlay, so there's no extra participant and no browser plugin. More detail on the homepage and in the tutorial.

Copilots tend to be most useful for:

• Behavioral questions where you want a quick STAR-style scaffold
• System-design rounds where reminders of trade-offs matter
• Technical phone screens with a lot of definitions and terminology
• Live coding when you need a hint on syntax or an algorithm

They are not a universal solution. An interview copilot cannot help — and may be visible — in scenarios like:

• Interviews where you have to screen share your entire desktop
• Sessions recorded or proctored by dedicated proctoring software
• Company-managed devices where you can't install third-party apps
• In-person or whiteboard interviews

We're upfront about these limits on our security page.

When comparing tools, the practical questions are usually:

• Does it join the call as a visible bot, or run locally?
• Does it work natively on macOS and Windows, or only inside a browser?
• How is your audio and transcript data handled?
• What does it cost per interview, and is there a free tier?
