Most AI interview assistants say they work with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. The differences are in the details: whether Webex is named, which coding platforms are listed, whether the tool is a desktop app or a browser tool, and how it hears the interviewer's audio. We checked the official pages of eight tools on October 17, 2026 and recorded only what each site says. A tool listing a platform means the vendor claims support, not that we tested it.
Disclosure: this page is published by YesToTheOffer, which makes one of the eight tools. Every tool was checked against the same questions, and where a site did not answer one, the table says "not stated".
Compatibility matrix
Last checked October 17, 2026. "Named" means the platform appears on the vendor's own pages, sometimes only in a logo list. "Not stated" means we did not find it in the pages we opened.
| Tool | Zoom, Meet, Teams | Webex | Coding platforms named | Form | OS stated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final Round AI | Named | Not stated | CodeSignal, LeetCode, HackerRank, CoderPad | Desktop app, no bot | macOS 14.4+, Windows |
| LockedIn AI | Named | Not stated | HackerRank, CodeSignal | Desktop app, web app, mobile app, VSCode/Cursor integration | Windows 10+, macOS 13.1+ |
| Cluely | Named | Named | Not stated | Desktop app, no bot | Not stated |
| ParakeetAI | Named | Named | CoderPad, HackerRank (LeetCode in a logo strip) | Desktop app and browser | Windows, macOS; live browser sessions need desktop Chrome |
| Interview Coder | Named | Named | HackerRank, CoderPad, Codility | Desktop app, not a browser extension | Windows, macOS |
| OphyAI | Named | Not stated | LeetCode, CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal | Desktop app, plus a browser mode | Mac, Windows |
| Verve AI | Named | Named | Not stated (LeetCode-style problems mentioned) | Browser and desktop app | macOS, Windows, mobile listed |
| YesToTheOffer | Named | Named | LeetCode, HackerRank, CoderPad | Desktop app | macOS, Windows |
Two things to read carefully. First, a logo list is weaker evidence than a documented setup page. Second, none of these pages describes a Chrome extension, so if you were looking for one, the answer on these eight sites is no.
How we compared
We used four questions for every tool, and each answer comes from the vendor's own site:
- Which meeting platforms does the site name?
- Which coding platforms does it name?
- Is it a desktop app, a browser tool, a Chrome extension or a bot that joins the call?
- What limits does it state, such as operating system versions, browser-only sharing or a required plan?
We did not test latency, accuracy or answer quality, and we did not run any tool in a real interview. Several vendors publish performance numbers on their sites. We left them out because we could not check them.
How these tools hear the interviewer
An assistant can only help with a question it has heard. There are two general ways a desktop or browser tool gets the interviewer's voice.
One is system audio capture. The tool records what the computer is playing, which includes the other people on the call. This works well with headphones, because the call's sound does not need to travel through the air. On some systems it needs a permission, or in a browser, you have to tick a "share audio" box when you share a screen or tab.
The other is the microphone. The tool listens the way a person in the room would. That is simple, but the interviewer has to be audible to the mic, so closed headphones can leave the tool with only your own voice. Room noise also lands in the transcript.
This is why audio setup matters more than the platform list. A tool can be compatible with Zoom and still hear nothing if it is listening on the wrong path.
What the sites say: Final Round AI says it listens through the computer mic. LockedIn AI says it can capture system audio, and its page notes that on macOS the web app can only share Chrome tabs, so it suggests running the video call in a Chrome tab. ParakeetAI says real calls connect by sharing the call tab. For the other tools we checked, the audio method is not stated on the pages we opened.
For YesToTheOffer, the live interview audio is streamed to a speech-to-text provider and audio recordings are not kept.
Desktop app vs browser extension vs bot
A desktop app is installed on your computer and runs next to the meeting app. It needs the operating system's permissions, usually for screen recording or audio, and it is limited to the OS versions the vendor lists. Final Round AI, for example, states macOS 14.4 or later.
A browser tool runs in a tab. It avoids an install, but it depends on the browser. ParakeetAI states that live sessions need desktop Chrome and that other browsers are not supported for live sessions. LockedIn AI lists Chrome, Edge, Chromium, Opera and Brave.
A Chrome extension would sit inside the browser and see only what the browser sees. None of the eight sites describes one.
A bot joins the call as a participant, like a note-taking bot. Final Round AI and Cluely both say on their sites that no bot joins the meeting. The other sites we checked do not describe a bot.
The tools
Final Round AI
Best for: people who want a desktop app with a long list of named coding platforms and who are fine with a subscription.
The site names Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and lists CodeSignal, LeetCode, HackerRank and CoderPad for live coding. It runs in a desktop app on macOS 14.4 or later and on Windows. It states that it listens through the computer mic, that on-screen help needs screen recording permission, and that live sessions need an active Pro subscription. Webex is not mentioned. The page also says real-world setups vary by OS, meeting app version and device policy. See our Final Round AI review for the longer version.
LockedIn AI
Best for: people who want several ways to run it, including a web app and a mobile app.
The site names Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, LiveStorm and HireVue, and it names HackerRank and CodeSignal for online assessments. It describes a desktop app (Windows 10 and above, macOS 13.1 and above), a web app, a mobile app and a VSCode and Cursor integration. Its limits are specific: on Windows the web app can share the entire screen with system audio or Chrome tabs, while on macOS it can only share Chrome tabs. CoderPad, LeetCode and Webex are not mentioned. Our LockedIn AI review goes further.
Cluely
Best for: people who want a desktop app that says it never joins the meeting.
The site lists Zoom, Slack, Webex, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet under compatible tools, and says Cluely "never joins your meetings." It names no coding platforms, and the supported operating systems are not stated on the page we read. It mentions transcription in more than 12 languages. If you need coding platform support confirmed in writing, this page does not give it. See the Cluely review.
ParakeetAI
Best for: people who need a browser option and want a documented list of platforms.
The site lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, Lark/Feishu, Amazon Chime, CoderPad and HackerRank as verified, with LeetCode in a logo strip and phone calls via Google Voice. It offers a desktop app for Windows and macOS and a browser version, and it states that live sessions need desktop Chrome and share the call tab. It also says it listens for one language at a time. CodeSignal is not mentioned. Read the ParakeetAI review.
Interview Coder
Best for: coding-focused candidates who only need a Windows or macOS desktop app.
The site lists Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Amazon Chime, Cisco Webex and Lark/Feishu, and the coding platforms HackerRank, CoderPad and Codility. It is a desktop app for Windows and macOS and states it operates outside the browser. AI features require a subscription, and the page lists a paid monthly plan and a lifetime plan. LeetCode appears only in general wording and CodeSignal is not mentioned. More in Interview Coder alternatives.
OphyAI
Best for: people who want all four coding platforms named in one place, plus a browser mode.
The site names Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and says you can screenshot problems from LeetCode, CoderPad, HackerRank or CodeSignal. The desktop app is for Mac and Windows, and a Whisper Mode runs in the browser. It also lists iPhone and Android apps, although it says live Copilot and coding work best on a computer. Webex is not mentioned. See the OphyAI review.
Verve AI
Best for: people who want one tool to run in either a browser or a desktop app and have a free plan to try first.
The site names Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Amazon Chime and says it works through the browser or desktop app. It lists browser, macOS, Windows and mobile as available. No coding platform is named, only LeetCode-style problems. It describes a free plan that needs no credit card. The pricing page was not part of what we read. See the Verve AI review.
YesToTheOffer
Best for: people who want pay-as-you-go minutes instead of a subscription, a macOS and Windows desktop app, and coding help.
YesToTheOffer is designed to work alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, CoderPad, HackerRank and LeetCode. Platform behavior can change, so verify it before an interview. It is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, with real-time transcription and translation across more than 10 languages, coding question and screenshot analysis, and resume and notes context. Pricing is by the minute with no subscription: a 90-minute pack costs $9.99, coding-only sessions use 0.2 minute per minute, and sessions with cloud transcription use 1.0. There are 30 free minutes to try.
Where it is weaker: it has no mock-interview practice mode, no mobile app, no Linux client and no Chrome extension. It is also newer and smaller than the big names above. For the head-to-head, see YesToTheOffer vs Final Round AI.
A 10-minute test before a real interview
Do this on the same laptop, headset and network you will use on the day.
- Install the tool and sign in. Check that your operating system version is on the vendor's list.
- Grant the permissions it asks for, such as screen recording and microphone. Restart the app if the system says to.
- Start a call with a friend on the exact meeting app the interviewer will use (Zoom, Meet, Teams or Webex).
- Ask your friend to read a question aloud. Check that the transcript shows their voice, not only yours.
- Switch between headphones and speakers to see which setup the tool hears.
- Share your screen the way the interview platform requires and confirm the tool still works.
- Open a coding practice problem on the platform you expect and test a screenshot or screen read.
- Check your balance, subscription or session limit so it cannot run out mid-interview.
- Look at battery, notifications and updates. Turn off auto-updates for the day.
- Reread the interview invitation for rules about tools, screen sharing and second devices.
Privacy and data handling
Any tool that transcribes a live call sends audio or text to a server somewhere. Before you use one, find out what it sends, to whom and for how long. For YesToTheOffer, resume, knowledge-base documents and desktop interview history are stored on your computer and can be viewed or deleted at any time. To generate suggestions, relevant text, screenshots and resume details are sent to AI model providers. Live audio goes to a speech-to-text provider, and audio recordings are not kept. Web interview transcripts are saved to your account and can be reviewed or deleted. Check the same questions on any competitor's privacy page, because we did not review them here.
Ethics and employer rules
These tools can break the rules of an interview. Many employers and assessment platforms forbid outside help during a live interview, and some say so in the invitation. Nothing here is a promise that a tool cannot be seen by an interviewer, a platform or an employer. Some vendors use words like "invisible" or "undetectable" in their marketing, and we have not verified those claims. Using any assistant is your responsibility, including the consequences if you are caught. If the rules are unclear, ask the recruiter. Many people use these tools only for practice and preparation, where the question does not come up. Our piece on whether an AI interview assistant is undetectable covers this in more depth.
