ClapAssist shows answers built from your own resume during the live interview: behavioural questions, technical rounds and bilingual panels, on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet.
ClapAssist is an AI interview assistant for Mac and Windows. It listens to your video interview on your own computer, picks out each question and shows a suggested answer built from your resume and the job posting within seconds. It never joins the call, and it stays out of your screen share.
It understands English, French and many other languages, and you choose the language of the answers. That matters in Canada: a bilingual federal role can switch to French halfway through, and many newcomers interview in their second or third language.
After the call, a short written recap and the transcript are saved to your account, encrypted. You can turn transcript saving off in Settings and delete everything whenever you like. The call audio and screenshots are never stored.
The hard part of an interview is the pause after an unexpected question: "Tell me about a time you had to learn something fast" or "Why did you leave your last job after six months?". ClapAssist shows a frame built from the roles, projects and numbers on your resume, so you keep your train of thought and say it your way.
Answer modes for coding and algorithms (runnable code in the language on screen), system design, technical questions and SQL help in the technical round, when you share your screen for a live exercise.
The operating system keeps the ClapAssist window out of screen shares and recordings on every plan, including the free one. Check it yourself with the screen share test.
For federal bilingual positions, roles in Quebec and many national employers, part of the interview may be in French. ClapAssist hears the question in either language and shows the answer in English, in French or in the language of the question, as you choose in Settings.
Two examples: an Ottawa policy role where the panel asks one question in French to check your second-language level, and a Montreal start-up where the hiring manager switches languages as she goes. In both, the answer appears in the language you need. Our French page, IA entretien d'embauche, explains the same tool in French.
New to Canada and interviewing in English as a second language? The free Say It Better in English tool rewrites an answer so it sounds natural when spoken.
Canadian employers rely heavily on behavioural questions. The Public Service Commission's guidance for Government of Canada jobs tells candidates to "use the STAR method", to prepare around "the qualifications being assessed (your test/interview invitation will list them)", and to "talk about yourself and your specific role" instead of "we".
That is exactly where live help counts: ClapAssist reads the question and points to the project on your resume that fits, laid out as situation, task, action, result. A full guide with Canadian examples is in behavioural interview questions.

ClapAssist hears whatever plays through your computer's speakers or headset, so it works with any call without connecting to the platform: Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.
For the setup, camera and lighting, see our video interview tips and the video interview checklist. Recorded one-way interviews, often on HireVue, are covered in HireVue interview questions.
A recruiter phone screen is often the first step. ClapAssist helps when the call runs on your laptop, for example a Teams call or a call answered on your computer. On a call taken only on your cell phone, it hears nothing; use it to prepare instead with our phone interview tips.
The same live help works in a client call or team meeting when you need a clear answer quickly. It is not a note-taking tool: it is built for conversations where you have to answer.
