What is Interview Coder?
InterviewCoder is a desktop application that positions itself as an “AI Interview Assistant for Technical Interviews,” specifically for LeetCode-style coding assessments, online assessments (OAs), and live coding interviews.
Its main selling point: it claims to be undetectable — meaning it can assist in solving coding problems in real time during interviews or assessments without being flagged.
Main Features
- Real-time code/solution assistance during coding assessments or interviews (LeetCode, CodeSignal, etc.)
Interview Coder - Undetectability / stealth mode: claims such as “invisible on screen-share”, “does not steal active tab focus”, “movable screen” etc., to avoid detection in interview setups.
- Desktop app: supports Windows and Mac. It’s not just a browser plugin.
- Language & platform support: User settings for programming languages etc.
- Pricing plans: There is a free plan and paid (“Pro”) plan unlocking more features.
Pros and Cons
- Might help someone practice or get unstuck in coding-style problems quickly
- Users claim success in using it for online assessments / OAs
- Could serve as a preparation tool (if used ethically, e.g. for practice)
- Offers multiple language support etc
- Using it in interviews or assessments could violate rules, get you disqualified, or even mess up your reputation
- Some reviews note that solutions provided aren't always correct; false confidence could backfire
- Claims of undetectability are disputed. Some users say it has been detected on certain platforms
- Legal and Copyright Issues
How to Use Interview Coder?
- Download & Install the desktop app (Windows or Mac).
- Account / Subscription: Register an account; choose free vs Pro plan. Cost depends on plan.
- Do Basic Setup / Checks: The app has checks to ensure undetectability, permissions, certain platform versions, etc.
- During Interview / Coding Assessment: Use the tool to get suggested solutions, code snippets, debugging help, etc., in real time while solving questions. The idea is that it shouldn’t be obvious to the interviewer.
