ghostcoder

GhostCoder is a desktop application that functions as an invisible AI interview assistant, designed to help users with coding questions and live interviews while remaining undetectable to interviewers. The tool emphasizes privacy and control by using the user’s own AI API keys and performing queries locally. It is a discreet aid for technical assessments, maintaining a low profile during screen sharing.

The app runs locally and relies on the user-supplied AI API keys (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, etc.), processing information from the screen to generate code suggestions, explanations, or solutions. It states that everything runs locally through the user’s API key, keeping usage private and under the user’s control.

GhostCoder highlights its stance as a one-time purchase product with no subscriptions or hidden fees, and it emphasizes simplicity with a download-and-use model. It asserts that there is no need for an account and that the license supports ongoing updates for a defined period.

The service is marketed toward technical interview contexts, including LeetCode problems and live interviews at major tech companies. It also mentions a free trial approach before purchasing.
