Stop Realtime AI Coaching Tools Like Interview Sidekick & Interview Coder

What is Interview Sidekick? 

Interview Sidekick is an AI interview assistant that listens to recruiter questions and generates suggested answers, talking points, and delivery tips in real time. It acts as a hidden coach, helping candidates sound more competent than their actual ability.

What is Interview Coder?

Interview Coder is an AI coding assistant that supports candidates during technical interviews. It provides instant code suggestions, debugging help, and logic explanations making it appear as though the candidate is solving problems independently.

Why Are Tools Like Interview Coder and Interview Sidekick Hard to Detect?

AI cheating assistants such as Interview Coder and Interview Sidekick are specifically designed to bypass traditional proctoring systems. They mimic natural candidate behavior while quietly supplying answers in the background, making them difficult to catch. Their stealth comes from:

• Real-time coaching and coding support – Instantly generate interview answers, code snippets, or logic explanations that candidates can present as their own.

• Adaptive guidance – Continuously refine responses or code output to match evolving recruiter questions or technical challenges.

• Error correction and delivery coaching – Fix programming mistakes automatically or suggest better phrasing, tone, and confidence cues for spoken answers.

• Hands-free operation – Allow candidates to receive AI help without switching tabs, typing prompts, or showing any visible signs of assistance.

• Background invisibility – Run silently in browser tabs or desktop overlays, often invisible during screen sharing or video proctoring.

• Human-like pacing – Deliver answers in natural patterns, helping candidates avoid suspicion from scripted or robotic responses.
