ClapAssist shows answers built from your own CV during the live interview: competency questions, technical rounds and graduate scheme video stages, on Teams, Zoom 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 CV and the job advert within seconds. It never joins the call, and it stays out of your screen share.
It suits the way UK employers interview: a phone screen with the recruiter, a competency-based interview on Microsoft Teams, a technical round, or a video stage in a graduate scheme. It understands English, French, Spanish, Hindi and many other languages, so it also helps if English is not your first language.
After the call, a short written recap and the transcript are saved to your account, encrypted. You can switch transcript saving off in Settings and delete everything whenever you like. The call audio and screenshots are never stored.
The hardest moment in an interview is the silence after a question you did not expect: "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager" or "Why are you leaving after only a year?". ClapAssist shows a frame built from the roles, projects and numbers on your CV, so you keep your thread.
There are answer modes for coding and algorithms (runnable code in the language on screen), system design, technical questions and SQL, which helps in the second-stage technical interview 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, the free one included. Check it yourself first with the screen share test.
Many UK employers, including the Civil Service and the NHS, ask competency or behaviour questions: "Give an example of when you delivered at pace" or "Tell me about a time you worked with others to solve a problem". You are expected to answer with a real example in the STAR shape: situation, task, action, result.
That is where people freeze, because the right example sits somewhere in five years of work. ClapAssist reads the question and points to the project on your CV that fits, laid out as STAR, so you tell the story rather than search for it. A full guide with example answers is in competency-based interview questions.

ClapAssist hears whatever plays through your computer's speakers or headset, so it works with any video call without connecting to the platform: Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.
A first-round phone interview with a recruiter or agency is common in the UK. 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 mobile, the app hears nothing; use it to prepare instead. Our phone interview tips cover the rest.
The same live help works in a client call or a team meeting when you need a clear answer quickly. It is not a note-taking tool, though: it is built for conversations where you have to answer.
