Interviewer: How do you handle clock skew across nodes in a distributed rate limiter?

Sample answerDrafted with your own AI key
  • 1. Centralized Redis token bucket using Lua scripts for atomic decrement.
  • 2. Sliding window counter with TTL expiry bounds skew to sub-millisecond windows.
  • 3. In my previous payments project, this sustained 25,000 req/sec at <4ms latency.

What it does

Everything you need, in one small window.

Ghotly AI is a desktop overlay for Windows. It listens to system audio, turns speech into text with Deepgram, and asks the AI you choose for a short, structured answer.

Works with Zoom, Meet and Teams

Hidden from the call. Not from you.

Windows itself keeps the Ghotly AI overlay out of screen capture. Share your screen on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or any of the apps around the ghost, and the overlay stays on your side only.

  • Nothing to set up inside the meeting app: the overlay is a separate window on top of it
  • Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) and Windows 11
  • Run a quick test share on your own setup before the real call

Live transcription

System audio turns into text with Deepgram, so the question is on screen as it is asked.

Screenshot answers

Capture a coding or design question and get the approach, code, complexity and edge cases. Then keep asking follow-ups.

Your keys stay on your PC

Your AI keys are sealed by Windows (safeStorage / DPAPI) on your PC and never sent to us. Resume details reach your account only when you press "Save to my account", and interviews only if you switch on history sync.

What is saved, and where
How it works

From download to your first answer, in four steps.

  1. Install

    Download the Windows installer from GitHub Releases and run it. The app opens as a small overlay and checks GitHub for new versions by itself.

    Ghotly AI sign-in screen with the Login with Ghotly AI button.
  2. Sign in with Google

    Sign in once, in your browser; the sign-in is handed back to the app on your own machine. The home screen then shows whether your AI and Deepgram keys are ready.

    Ghotly AI home screen: the plan strip, the Start Interview button, History, and tools for audio test, support, blog and demo.
  3. Add your keys

    Paste a Deepgram key for transcription and a key for one AI provider (Groq, Gemini, OpenAI, Claude). Keys are sealed in Windows safeStorage (DPAPI) on your PC and never uploaded to our servers.

    Ghotly AI settings: Deepgram key field and the list of AI providers with their key status.
  4. Start a session

    Enter the company and position, add custom instructions if you like, press Start Interview and keep your hands on the hotkeys during the call.

Ghotly AI FAQ

Straight answers.

Cannot find yours? Ask us

A Windows desktop app that sits on top of your call as a small overlay. It transcribes system audio with Deepgram, can read what is on your screen, and drafts answers with the AI provider and key you choose. Ghotly AI is also written "Ghostly AI".

The download is free and every account gets 10 minutes of interviews free, once; a free session starts with a short sponsor ad. After that there is one plan: ₹49 for a calendar month. It is one payment with no auto-renewal and no ads, it puts your support tickets in the priority queue, and it lets you open every job on the jobs page and apply. Every signed-in account can open support tickets. You also pay your AI and speech providers directly if your usage goes past their free tiers.

Yes, you bring your own. You need a Deepgram key for live transcription and a key for at least one AI provider: Groq, Gemini, OpenRouter, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic or Grok. Some of them offer free tiers; check their current limits and terms.

On Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) and Windows 11 the overlay uses the WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE display flag, which asks Windows to leave that window out of screen capture and recording. It is an operating-system feature, so results depend on how the app you share with captures your screen. Test it with your own setup before you rely on it.

Your resume details, app settings and interviews are saved on your PC, separately for each account. Your app settings (never your API keys) are also kept, encrypted, in your Ghotly AI account so a new PC starts ready; your resume details go there only when you press "Save to my account", and your interviews (questions and answers, never screenshots) only if you switch on "Sync interview history". Only your signed-in account can read them, and you can switch the sync off in the app or delete it all under Account > Privacy & data. Your API keys stay only on your PC, sealed by Windows - they are never sent to us. Signing in with Google, your account record and a usage heartbeat go through our servers too. Audio goes to Deepgram, and prompts and screenshots go to the AI provider you picked. A resume you import in the app is read on your PC and its text goes to your AI provider (or, if that one is out of quota, another provider you added a key for) to fill in your details; for a scan or photo the app asks before it sends the page images. The resume file itself never reaches us. The privacy policy lists every case.

Not today. Ghotly AI runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. macOS: coming soon. Linux: not planned.

Yes. Live transcription and AI chat work for any conversation. Screenshot analysis is most useful for coding and system-design questions.

That depends on the rules of the company and the platform you are interviewing on. Many employers prohibit outside assistance. You are responsible for following those rules. Ghotly AI is intended for preparation and practice; see the terms.
