Real-time interview copilot · browser + macOS

Nothing between you and the answer.

ZeroLayer AI rehearses you on the questions you’ll actually get — then rides along in the real interview with quiet, structured guidance. Answers, code, and coaching the moment you need them — with an on-device transcription option and conversations we never store or train on.

“Tell me about a time you led under pressure.”

Start with the outcome, then rewind. When checkout started dropping 1 in 8 payments the week before launch, I owned the war room — traced it to a retry bug and recovered 38% of failed charges in two days.

How it works

Prepare like it matters. Perform like it’s easy.

ZeroLayer is two products in one flow: a rigorous prep coach before the interview, and a calm real-time copilot during it. Here’s how people actually use it — from the moment a recruiter reaches out to the offer call.

Before · prep & repsDuring · live copilotAfter · the offer
01Before

Set the scene

Paste your resume and the job description, pick the round, and ZeroLayer tailors itself to the exact interview ahead — so every answer sounds like you, grounded in your real experience.

  • Resume + JD aware in one paste
  • Behavioral · coding · system design
  • Tuned to the company and role
02Before

Practice until it’s easy

Run realistic mock interviews on the questions you’ll actually get, get scored on each answer, and review a recap that turns the weak ones into confident, repeatable reps.

  • Role- and JD-aware mock questions
  • Scored, actionable feedback
  • Rehearse until it’s muscle memory
03During

Walk in, locked in

Start the copilot before your call. It listens in real time, detects the question the second it’s asked, and quietly feeds you the structure, answer, or working code — in a HUD only you can see.

  • Real-time, off screen-share
  • Structure, answers, and code
  • Private overlay — no bot in the call

Same flow, every round: rehearse until it’s second nature, walk in with a quiet copilot, walk out with an offer.

See it work

Invisible in the call. Right when you need it.

The interviewer asks. ZeroLayer hears it and streams your answer into an overlay only you can see — hidden from screen-share, recordings, and proctoring.

“Reverse a linked list — walk me through it.”

Iterative, three pointers. Walk the list flipping each next pointer as you go — O(n) time, O(1) space…

Live simulation — the overlay is invisible to everyone but you.

Features

Everything the hard interviews demand.

Built specifically for behavioral, coding, and system-design rounds — not a generic meeting notetaker pointed at interviews.

Real-time guidance

ZeroLayer listens, detects the question the moment it’s asked, and streams a crisp, structured answer into a glanceable overlay — STAR-framed for behavioral, to-the-point for everything else.

  • Question detection, not key-spamming
  • Structured + skimmable
  • Follows the conversation thread

Coding & system-design copilot

For technical rounds it reads the problem, lays out the approach, names the time/space complexity, and writes working code in your language — plus battle-tested frameworks for system design.

  • Python · Java · C++ · JS & more
  • Complexity + edge cases
  • System-design templates

Realistic mock interviews

Practice mode generates role-, company-, and JD-aware questions, runs a full mock, then hands you a post-interview recap that scores your answers and shows exactly what to tighten.

  • Tailored to the job
  • Scored + actionable recap
  • Rehearse until it’s muscle memory

Private by design

Choose on-device transcription (Whisper) to keep audio fully local, or fast cloud transcription that’s never stored or used for training. The overlay is a personal window that stays out of screen-shares and recordings — and there’s no bot in the call.

  • On-device transcription option
  • Off screen-share & recordings
  • No meeting bot, ever

Tuned to you

Drop in your resume and the job description once. Answers reference your real experience and sound like you — not a generic script a panel has heard a hundred times.

  • Resume + JD aware
  • Answers in your voice
  • Remembers your setup

A quiet, glanceable HUD

A frameless overlay you can dim, move anywhere, and read in a half-second glance. Designed to be felt, not seen — so you stay present with your interviewer instead of staring at notes.

  • Adjustable opacity
  • Always where you need it
  • Zero clutter
For every interview

Built for every kind of interview

A live coding screen or a final-round behavioral — ZeroLayer adapts to the room you’re walking into.

Technical

Solve it live — code, DSA & system design

Live coding, online assessments, and architecture rounds. ZeroLayer reads the problem and hands you a complete, correct solution — not a vague hint.

Working code, your language

Complete, runnable solutions in Python, Java, C++, JS, Go & more — never pseudocode.

Reads the problem on screen

Coding platforms and online assessments — it sees the prompt and solves it.

Approach + complexity

A one-line plan you can say out loud, time/space complexity, and the edge case to flag.

System-design playbooks

APIs, data models, scaling, and the key tradeoff — structured like a staff engineer.

two_sum · live coding O(n) time

One pass with a hash map. Store each value’s index as you go; for every number, check if its complement was already seen.

def two_sum(nums, target):
    seen = {}
    for i, n in enumerate(nums):
        if target - n in seen:
            return [seen[target - n], i]
        seen[n] = i

Edge case to mention: duplicates resolve correctly because we check before inserting.

FAQ

Straight answers.

The things candidates ask before they trust ZeroLayer in a real interview.

ZeroLayer is built for preparation and real-time support — the same way notes, a second monitor, or a mock-interview coach help you perform at your best. You’re responsible for using it within the rules of any specific interview or assessment. We deliberately lead with prep and coaching, because that’s where it’s most valuable and always fair game.

By default your audio is transcribed by a secure speech-to-text service — or switch to fully on-device Whisper, and zero audio leaves your Mac. Answers are generated through your authenticated account on our servers. Either way we never store your audio or conversations, and never sell or train on them.

ZeroLayer renders as a private overlay that stays out of screen-shares and recordings, and there’s never a bot in the call. You control its opacity and position, so it’s there for you and invisible to everyone else.

Any of them. ZeroLayer listens to your call’s audio, so it works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, phone screens, and live coding platforms — no integrations to install.

ZeroLayer AI is macOS-first today (macOS 14+). Windows is on the roadmap — join the list and we’ll tell you the moment it ships.

Yes. Pro is month-to-month with no lock-in, and you can manage or cancel your subscription from your account dashboard in two clicks.
