STEP 01
Open it before the call
HandshakeBuddy sits as a small bubble on top of everything. Drag it where you want, set the opacity, and forget it is there.
Interview Buddy
Walk into your next interview knowing you'll have the answer.
HandshakeBuddy listens to the interviewer, works out what they are actually asking, and streams a structured answer onto a private overlay — while they are still talking.

Built for pressure
Three things that matter at 10am on interview day
Short enough to say out loud
Answers are hard-capped at around 100 words and split into "the answer" plus one line to say. Most tools hand you an essay you cannot deliver under pressure.
Fixes what it mishears
Technical vocabulary gets mangled by every transcription engine. A correction layer fixes jargon before the answer is generated, so you never answer a question nobody asked.
Invisible on screen share
Included on every plan, including the day pass. Competitors charge $149.99 to $299 a month for the same thing.
Step by step
From install to first answer
Exactly what the app looks like and how it behaves during a real interview.
STEP 02
Join the interview
Zoom, Meet or Teams — whatever the company sent you. Hit Sync and it starts listening through your system audio.
STEP 03
The interviewer asks something
It transcribes the question locally, in real time, and corrects misheard technical terms before it generates anything — so "ageontic AI" becomes "agentic AI" and you do not answer the wrong question.
STEP 04
Your answer streams in
Two short sections: the answer itself, and one line you can say out loud. Under 100 words by design, because nobody can improvise from three paragraphs while someone waits.
STEP 05
Nobody else sees any of it
If they ask you to share your screen mid-interview, share it. The overlay is not in the stream.
The part that matters
You see it. They don’t.
Scroll, then drag the handle — the overlay is excluded from screen capture at the OS level. When you share your screen, those pixels are never sent.

This protects against screen sharing and screen recording. It does not hide the overlay from a camera pointed at your monitor, from someone sitting beside you, or from proctoring software that inspects your machine.
Honest comparison
The same core feature, a fifth of the price
Screen-share invisibility is the feature people actually pay for. Everyone else puts it behind their top tier.

What people say
What candidates say
“I stopped freezing on the follow-up questions. It kept me one step ahead the entire loop — I had three offers by the end of the month.”
“On client calls I used to panic and discount. Now I reframe calmly and my close rate is up. It paid for a year in one contract.”
“The fact that it is invisible on screen share is the whole thing. I shared my IDE in an interview and it just was not there.”
“It is not a chatbot — the answers are short enough to actually say out loud. That is the difference from everything else I tried.”
“I run it in every cross-team meeting now. I answer the finance questions in the room instead of promising a follow-up.”
“Setup took two minutes and it works on Meet, Zoom and Teams. The day pass got me through my interview week for ten bucks.”
Straight answers
Interview questions, answered honestly
It depends on the interview, and we would rather say so plainly. Some employers explicitly allow notes and reference material; some prohibit any assistance. Check what you agreed to when you accepted the interview. We built this for the preparation, recall and calm that come from knowing you will not blank — not to help anyone misrepresent skills they do not have. If you cannot answer a follow-up question in your own words, no tool is going to save the interview.
