When a browser extension can be useful
An extension can be convenient when every task happens in one supported browser tab. It may be less useful when the call, code editor, documents, screenshots, and system audio are spread across desktop applications.
Why some candidates choose a desktop app
A desktop app can work beside Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, a code editor, and the browser. Cluegent uses a movable desktop workspace with typed prompts, screenshots, quick actions, and controlled listening when permitted.
Compare permissions and privacy behavior
Read the permission request, data handling explanation, supported browsers or operating systems, and screen-sharing limitations. Test the exact setup in a private practice call; no product should claim it can bypass every recording, proctoring, or monitoring method.
Choose the tool you can use calmly
The best setup keeps the interviewer, captions, code, meeting controls, and shared material unobstructed. Favor a readable response surface and a workflow you have practiced over a long list of untested features.
Where Cluegent helps
Cluegent supports permitted live workflows with transcript context, typed prompts, screenshot-aware answers, resume context, custom response behavior, quick action buttons, and a private desktop overlay. It is most useful when you already understand the subject and need help staying structured under pressure.
Frequently asked questions
What is Cluegent?
Cluegent is a customizable Windows and macOS desktop AI assistant for live interviews, meetings, coding screens, and screen workflows. It listens when you start it, keeps rolling context, and shows private responses on your desktop.
Does Cluegent join my meeting?
No. Cluegent runs as a desktop app and does not join as a meeting participant or install a browser extension into the call.
Which platforms does Cluegent work with?
Cluegent is designed for desktop workflows across Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, coding editors, browsers, and document windows.
Can I customize how Cluegent answers?
Yes. In Settings, the Customize section lets you add resume context, tune listening responses, screen responses, and typed prompt responses, and manage quick action buttons for common prompts.
Is the private overlay a guarantee against every detection method?
No. Cluegent is designed to stay out of standard screen capture behavior, but users are responsible for following laws, platform rules, workplace policies, school policies, and interview rules.
