Interesting roundup, but I have to wonder about the long-term impact of these tools. While I see the appeal for reducing anxiety, I'm concerned they might become a crutch that prevents candidates from developing genuine, spontaneous communication skills.
Are we moving towards a future where interview success is determined by who has the better AI assistant rather than who has the better on-the-spot problem-solving and interpersonal skills? It feels like we're optimizing for perfectly structured, keyword-rich answers, which could lead to a generation of candidates who sound robotic and homogenous. A great interview often involves authentic moments, including thoughtful pauses or even a minor stumble that reveals how a person thinks under pressure. I worry these copilots might strip that authenticity away.
What's to stop this from becoming an arms race where interviewers then need AI to detect the AI copilots? I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on the ethical line here.

Solid comparison. As an engineer who's been through the wringer with technical interviews, the feature that stands out most is the 'stealth mode' in tools like Final Round AI. Could you elaborate on how that technically works? Is it a transparent overlay, or does it hook into the video stream in a way that screen-sharing applications can't detect it? I can see high CPU usage being a major issue if it's doing heavy real-time processing.
I'm also curious about the real-time coding suggestions. For complex algorithmic problems, a 'hint' can be the difference between a solution and a dead end. How effective are tools like LockedIn AI at providing meaningful suggestions without just giving away the answer? Is it more like a syntax helper or a strategic problem-solving partner?
Finally, one feature I don't see mentioned is integration with a personal knowledge base (like Obsidian or Notion). Imagine a copilot that could pull from your own notes on past projects or study topics in real-time. That would be the ultimate personalized prep tool.

This is a fantastic and much-needed overview! As someone who isn't a native English speaker, the anxiety of real-time interviews is often about translating my thoughts quickly and clearly, not about my technical skills. Tools like Beyz AI or Final Round AI could be absolute game-changers for leveling the playing field.
I see these less as "cheating" and more as an intelligent coaching tool that works in the moment. Think of it like a spell-checker for your spoken words. It doesn't write the content for you, but it helps you deliver your own ideas more confidently and effectively. For neurodivergent individuals or anyone who struggles with high-pressure social situations, this technology could unlock so much potential by handling the cognitive load of structuring answers, allowing them to focus on the core logic and substance.
Great to see how AI is being used to empower candidates. Thanks for putting this list together!
