Invisible AI Interview Assistant: What the Interviewer Can and Cannot See

How Cloqa stays out of the interviewer’s view: a desktop overlay excluded from screen capture, no meeting bot, one-key hide — and the honest limits.

Can interviewers see an AI interview assistant?

There are three ways a tool can show up: it joins the call as a participant, it appears in your screen share, or it changes how you behave. Cloqa removes the first two. It never joins the meeting, and on macOS and Windows its overlay is a separate window that the operating system excludes from screen capture.

The part that depends on you

No software can hide reading. That is why Cloqa shows a few short bullets rather than a script: you glance, then answer in your own words with normal eye contact. Opacity is adjustable from 45% to 100%, and you place the window where your eyes naturally rest.

Honest limits

Proctoring software that controls your whole machine is a different situation from an ordinary video call. And some employers forbid outside help — the decision and the responsibility to follow their rules are yours. Test your setup on a call with a friend first.

Common use cases

  • Interviews with screen sharing
  • Recorded interviews
  • Second-monitor setups

Why Cloqa

Generic AI tools do not understand a live interview timeline. Cloqa combines live transcription, your resume, the job description, uploaded documents, and a focused desktop app so the guidance stays relevant while the call is happening.

FAQ

Is the overlay visible in screen sharing?

On macOS and Windows, no: the overlay window is excluded from screen capture.

Does a bot join my interview?

No. Cloqa listens to audio on your own device. Nothing appears in the participant list.

Will it show up in a recording of the call?

Recordings made by the meeting platform capture the shared video and audio streams. Cloqa is not part of either stream.

Is using an AI interview assistant allowed?

Rules differ by employer. Many candidates use Cloqa as live notes built from their own resume. If an employer explicitly forbids assistance, respect that.

Is my interview audio stored?

No recording is kept. Audio is transcribed live; transcripts are saved to your account and can be deleted at any time.
