Home Live Spotter
Your spotter for the live interview. Answers from your own resume.
Live Spotter hears the interviewer's question through your PC's sound and shows a short, spoken-style answer built from your resume, in about a second.† You read it, then answer in your own words.

An example on your screen during a call. Names are made up.
In the call
It listens. It drafts. You answer.
Three things happen every time the interviewer asks something.
It hears the question
From your computer's own audio, the same sound you hear. No bot joins the call and nothing shows in the guest list.
It builds your answer
From your resume, the job description and your own stories, in the first person, with the key phrases highlighted.
You say it your way
Glance, then answer at your own pace. Missed a question? Type it in the box and get an answer anyway.
What you get
Built for every kind of question.
Tell me about yourself
A short, natural introduction from your real jobs, studies and projects.
Behavioral questions
Clear stories from your background: what happened, what you did, how it turned out.
"Describe a time you disagreed with a teammate."
Technical questions
Plain explanations of the tools, ideas and trade-offs that come up for your role.
"How would you explain an API to a non-technical manager?"
Coding and on-screen questions
A problem or multiple-choice question on their shared screen? One key reads it and gives an approach to talk through.
The closing questions
Why this company, and what you expect to earn, especially when you add the job description.
"What are your salary expectations?"
Any field, any accent
Software, finance, nursing, sales, teaching. Answers in English by default, or in the interviewer's language.
Stays out of the share
They see your screen. Not your spotter.
The panel is left out of supported screen sharing on Windows 10 (2004+) and Windows 11. Results depend on how the screen is shared, so test both views with a friend first.
- No bot joins. It listens to your computer's own audio.
- Silent. It reads; it never speaks into the call.
- Out of your way. Drag it, shrink it, or dim it with one key.
Setup guide
Ready in five steps.
You do this once. The app shows each step on screen too.
Install Live Spotter
Get it from the Microsoft Store, the app store built into Windows, then open it from your Start menu.
Add your free Google AI key
It's a code, a bit like a password, that lets the app use Google's AI for you. Google gives it out free with a Google account.
- In the app, press the button that opens Google AI Studio and sign in.
- Click Create API key and copy it.
- Paste it into Live Spotter and press Test. A green tick means it works.
Keep your key private. Work or school Google account not working? Use a personal Gmail account.
Add your resume
PDF, Word or a scan. Optional: paste the job description and a few real examples of your own (what happened, what you did, the result). Answers then use the role's words and your real stories.
Test it on a practice video
Open YouTube, search for "mock job interview", play a video with the sound on, and watch answers appear. A good use of your free minutes.
No answers? It's almost always a sound setting. See No answers appear.
Join your interview
Open Live Spotter a few minutes early, join the call on the same PC, and place the panel where it's easy to glance at.
Check the rules first. Some interviews don't allow outside help.

FAQ
Live Spotter questions.
Which call apps does it work with?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Slack huddles, Discord and calls in your web browser. It works with the sound your PC plays, so the call has to be on the same Windows PC. It can't hear a call on your phone.
Should I use Bluetooth earphones?
Better not. During calls, many Bluetooth headsets switch to a low-quality hands-free mode that can hide the interviewer's voice from the app. Use wired earphones, or your laptop's own speaker and mic, in your call app.
What if someone talks while an answer is appearing?
You may get a short or half answer first. The full answer follows by itself a moment later, or you can type the question in the box.
Can the interviewer see it?
The panel is hidden from supported screen sharing on Windows 10 (2004+) and Windows 11. Capture methods and recordings vary, so test your setup first. A hidden panel doesn't tell you whether help is allowed; check the rules.
Do I need to pay for the AI?
Not within Google's free limits. The app uses your own Google Gemini key. If you switch on paid use with Google, Google bills that separately.
Does it work on a Mac?
No. Live Spotter is for Windows 10 (2004+) and Windows 11. On a Mac, practice with Prep Spotter in your browser once it launches.
