Guides help you know the shape of an answer. ClapAssist is a small desktop app for Mac and Windows that listens to your video interview on your own computer and shows a first sentence to say and the points behind it, written from your resume. Only you see it: the window is left out of screen shares and recordings, and it never joins the call. It starts with 10 free minutes, no card, so you can test it on a mock call first.
