FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
Everything people ask before they download — and the ones they ask afterwards.
The basics
A desktop app that runs alongside your live interview — or conducts a mock round itself. It transcribes, reads regions of your screen when you ask it to, and answers across verbal, live coding, and system design. How it works →
All of them. URHIRED AI is a desktop overlay rather than a plugin or a browser extension, so it sits on top of whatever is on screen — Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Chime, CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal, LeetCode. Zoom setup →
Yes — Windows 10 and 11, plus macOS 12 or later on both Intel and Apple Silicon. There is no mobile app.
Verbal for behavioral rounds, Coding for algorithm problems, and System design for architecture discussions. Each is a separate thread with its own model and response format, and you switch between them with ⌘1 / ⌘2 / ⌘3 mid-interview.
Staying undetectable
No. The overlay is marked as protected content, so screen-capture and screen-share APIs exclude it from the stream. You see it on your display; the shared frame does not contain it. How it works →
Start a meeting with yourself in whichever app the interview uses, share your screen, and check the share preview. Thirty seconds per app and you know exactly what your interviewer sees. Step-by-step →
No. It hides from your screen share, your Dock, your taskbar, and your app switcher — but the process is listed like any other running application. We would rather you know the boundary than assume one that does not exist.
It is not built to. If an assessment is proctored, that is a disclosed condition of the process you agreed to, and defeating it is not something we build for. Our position →
Share a window or your entire screen. Tab sharing captures the page's own render surface, which is a different path from a desktop capture and behaves differently.
Models and features
The GPT-5.6 family (Sol, Terra, Luna), GPT-5.5 and 5.5 Pro, GPT-5.4 with its Pro, Mini and Nano variants, GPT-5.3 Codex, GPT-5.2 and 5.2 Pro, GPT-5.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 — and you can assign a different model to each interview type in Settings → General. Gemini 2.5 Pro and Grok 3 are coming soon. Full catalog →
No. Model access runs through your account server-side. There is no key to paste and no separate provider bill to manage.
Eighteen: C, C#, C++, Dart, Elixir, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Scala, SQL, Swift, and TypeScript.
Five ways of shaping every response: Conversational, Hints, Structured, STAR, and Explain. Switch from the control bar mid-round. More →
Yes. Mock interview mode is built for that — the app asks the questions, listens to you, then scores the round. Hints mode during a live interview also nudges you toward the answer instead of handing it over. Mock interviews →
Plans and billing
Yes — 15 session minutes every day, verbal, coding, and system design, cloud transcription, and screen-share exclusion, with no credit card. Mock interviews, the latest models, and picking a model per interview type need Pro or higher.
Free is $0. Pro is $30/month ($81 for 3 months, $153 for 6). Pro+ is $60/month ($162 for 3 months, $306 for 6). Full comparison →
Settings → Profile & Plan in the desktop app opens the billing portal. Cancelling stops future renewals and you keep access through the period you already paid for.
Yes, subject to our refund policy. If something genuinely did not work and support could not fix it, write to us.
Privacy and ethics
Interview turns go through our backend to the model providers to generate responses. See the privacy policy for what is stored and for how long, and the security page for how turns reach the model.
No. Screenshots are captured only when you press a capture shortcut. Audio is processed for live transcription rather than stored as a recording.
That depends on the process you are in, and it is your call. Some companies now permit AI assistance; many do not. Follow the rules you agreed to, and disclose where disclosure is required. Our position →
