About CTRLpotato
CTRLpotato is an invisible AI interview assistant for macOS and Windows. It captures interview questions in real time using audio, screenshots, and text, builds context, and delivers fast, human-sounding answers from top AI models. Designed to be fully off-screen or mirrored to a user's phone for screen-share safety, it is undetectable during interviews and proctored tests. It aims to help users excel in coding rounds, behavioral interviews, and strict proctored tests by providing tailored, real-time assistance.
How to Use
To use CTRLpotato, capture interview questions by recording live audio, snapping screenshots, or highlighting text with a single key. The app then combines this context and provides instant help, starting with a hint and then the full answer. For maximum privacy, it can run off-screen or mirror answers to your phone by scanning a QR code, ensuring it remains invisible during screen shares or proctored tests.
