Interview Coder launches desktop AI assistant 2.0 with real-time audio support for coding interviews

Summary

San Francisco startup Interview Coder released Interview Coder 2.0, an AI-powered desktop assistant designed to help software engineers during live technical interviews, adding real-time audio transcription and stealth features to avoid detection on screen shares. The company says the tool has supported over 97,000 users and that more than 41,000 reported landing jobs in 2025 after using it, as it leans into a one-time 'lifetime access' licensing model instead of subscriptions.
