Features
Everything you need, the second you are asked
Aside listens to the call on your computer and hands you the answer to say next — in under half a second, in your own voice, in a window nobody else can see. Below is the whole product.
Windows & macOS · No card for practice

Real panel, scripted answers · Hidden from every screen share
The answer
Built to be said out loud
Every other tool hands you a paragraph while a person is watching your eyes move. That is the tell. We shaped the answer around speaking instead of reading.
One line to say first
The opener is bolded and sized for peripheral vision. Glance once, start talking, and the rest is there when you need it.
Three beats, not a wall
Supporting points arrive one idea per line so you can hit them in any order without losing your place mid-sentence.
If they push further
A collapsed layer of depth for the follow-up question, so the main answer stays short enough to actually deliver.
Shorter, deeper, rephrase
Reshape the answer mid-call with one key. No mouse, because reaching for a mouse is visible on camera.
Teleprompter pacing
Scroll the answer at a natural speaking rate you set, so you are never reading ahead of yourself.
Latency you can see
A live millisecond readout in the panel. We claim under half a second, so we show it rather than asking you to trust it.
Modes
One tool, three kinds of round
Switch with a single key. Each mode changes the shape of the answer, not just its tone.
Behavioral
Clean STAR structure with a real outcome at the end, drawn from your own résumé so the stories are yours.
Research & persona
For user studies and screening calls where you answer as a defined persona rather than as a candidate.
Coding
Full working solutions with complexity stated and the edge cases worth naming out loud — plus the background questions around the code.
Coding-vision
Reads the problem straight off your screen when there is nothing to paste.
Browser extension
On HackerRank, CoderPad and CodeSignal it reads the problem out of the page itself. Exact text, no OCR guesswork.
50+ languages
Detects the interviewer's language and answers in it, or lock it to one from the list.
Context
It answers as you, not as a chatbot
Generic answers are worse than no answers. Everything below exists to make what you say specific enough to be believed.
Résumé to persona
Upload a PDF or DOCX once. Aside builds your profile — your tools, your numbers, your wins — and answers from it.
Your own documents
Case studies, course notes, company docs, the job description. Any length. Answers come from that material.
Inline citations
When an answer comes from something you uploaded, the source line is shown beside it so you can trust it under pressure.
Predicted questions
Paste the job link and Aside pre-generates the twenty likeliest questions with your answers, before the call starts.
Conversation memory
It tracks what you have already said, so answer four does not contradict answer one.
Post-call debrief
Afterwards: the full transcript, what you actually said against what was suggested, and where to tighten it next time.
Invisible
Off the screen share, at the OS level
Not a trick that breaks on the next update — the operating system itself is told to leave the window out of captured frames.
Excluded from capture
SetWindowDisplayAffinity on Windows, NSWindowSharingType.none on macOS. Off full-display shares, window shares and screenshots.
Hears the call, not you
Aside captures your computer's audio output. Your microphone is never opened, so nothing you say privately is processed.
Nothing joins the call
No bot in the participant list, no notetaker to admit, no calendar connection, no app to add. Works on every platform.
Pair your phone
Read answers on a second device and keep your eyes near the camera.
On-device transcription
Run speech recognition locally so the audio never leaves your machine at all. The privacy claim becomes checkable.
Nothing written to disk
Live answers stream through and are gone. Meetings are saved only if you ask, and delete permanently when you say so.
Meetings get the same treatment
Every call on your computer becomes a live transcript, a summary and the action items — without anything joining it.
