An AI interview copilot listens to the interview, transcribes each question and puts answer points on your own screen while you reply in your own words.
AceRound’s Interview Copilot does it in about a second, in a desktop window that screen sharing does not capture — and the first 30 minutes are free, without a card.
Windows 10 2004+ and macOS 13+ · Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex and phone screens
The 30 minutes work in one sitting, and the clock starts when you press Start — not while you set up. After that, a $9.90 Starter Pack adds 60 minutes that never expire.
What happens between the interviewer finishing a sentence and you starting yours.
AceRound hears the call through your computer — Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex or a phone on speaker. Nothing joins the meeting.
You can read it back while they are still talking, which already helps on long, multi-part questions.
Median time from the end of the question to the first words on screen, measured on real interviews. Structure first, detail after.
The copilot keeps the whole conversation, so the second and third follow-up get the same treatment as the opening question.
A first-round interview runs 30 to 45 minutes. A free plan is only useful if one session can last that long.

Other tools’ plans were read off each vendor’s own pricing or product page on 2 November 2026. AceRound prices are US prices. The longer write-up with open-source options is in free AI interview copilots compared.
It picks up the question type from the conversation: STAR structure for behavioral questions, trade-offs for system design, approach and complexity for coding.
The answer window is a native desktop window, not a browser tab or something injected into the meeting page. Windows and macOS exclude it from screen sharing, window capture and screenshots, and clicks pass through it.
Sharing your entire screen on a Mac has one caveat, covered in the macOS screen-share guide. The free mock interview is the place to check your exact setup.
Set up to four languages for one interview and switch with one click — or hear the question in one language and get your points in another.
