Introducing CheatCodeAI: Your AI-Powered Interview Companion

Technical interviews are broken. You spend weeks grinding LeetCode, memorizing system design patterns, and rehearsing behavioral answers — only to blank out the moment the pressure hits. We built CheatCodeAI to change that.

CheatCodeAI is a desktop application that sits alongside your interview window and provides real-time AI assistance. It works with coding challenges, system design questions, and live conversations, in a private overlay that stays off your shared screen, hidden from standard screen sharing and recording.

Think of it as having a brilliant engineer whispering in your ear during every round.

The app runs locally on your machine and watches your screen for interview questions. When it detects a coding problem, a system design prompt, or a spoken question, it immediately generates tailored guidance.

For coding interviews, CheatCodeAI provides both brute-force and optimal solutions in over 20 programming languages, complete with time and space complexity analysis. It works with LeetCode, HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, and any browser-based IDE.

For system design rounds, it helps you architect services, choose the right databases, plan for scale, and generate architecture diagrams — adapting its suggestions as the conversation evolves.

For behavioral and conversational interviews, our audio assistant listens in real time, detects questions directed at you, and surfaces suggested answers instantly.

Your screenshots, audio, and transcripts go over an encrypted connection to our AI and speech-to-text providers, which process them in real time. We do not store them, or your credentials, on our servers at any point, and no one trains AI models on them. Recordings stay in a folder on your own device until you delete them. Our Privacy Policy covers the account and billing data we do keep.

CheatCodeAI was built by engineers who have been through the interview gauntlet themselves. We know what it feels like to solve a problem perfectly in practice and then freeze during the real thing. This tool exists to close that gap — not to replace your skills, but to augment them when it matters most.
