An interview copilot for Google Meet interviews.

Why the browser matters more on Meet

Meet runs inside Chrome. When you share in Meet you get three choices — your entire screen, a specific window, or a single Chrome tab — and the tab option is the one that trips people up.

Chrome's tab sharing sends the rendered contents of that tab. Anything drawn into the page is part of what gets sent, and that includes user interface injected by a browser extension. This is the practical reason AcePilot is a native desktop application: it runs outside the browser's rendering entirely, so there is nothing of it inside the tab to send. It is also excluded from screen capture and window enumeration, so the whole-screen and single-window options behave the same way.

If you are comparing interview copilots and one of them is a Chrome extension, this is the question to ask about it, and it is specific to Meet in a way it is not to Zoom or Teams.

How AcePilot hears a Meet interview

It listens to the audio your machine is already playing and transcribes it locally, in the moment. No bot joins the call, there is no Meet add-on to install, and it does not touch your Google account or your Calendar — which also means no OAuth consent screen and nothing for a Workspace admin policy to approve or block.

Meet specifics worth knowing

• Live captions. Meet can caption the call for you. Those captions are Google's, rendered inside Meet; AcePilot transcribes the same audio separately on your machine. Running both is fine — they do not contend for the audio device.
• Recording depends on the Workspace edition. Not every organisation can record a Meet call. Where they can, the recording captures the call audio and the shared stream, which is the same boundary described above.
• Meet in a second Chrome profile. Candidates often join from a personal profile while their work profile is signed in elsewhere. This makes no difference to AcePilot, which is another consequence of it not being an extension.
• Headphones, again. Meet's echo cancellation is good, but speaker audio leaking into your microphone still degrades any transcript, including the one AcePilot builds.

Setting up before a Meet interview

On macOS: install into Applications, launch it from there, allow Screen Recording and Microphone, then quit with Command-Q and reopen so Screen Recording activates. On Windows: run the installer and allow the microphone. Then start a Meet call on your own, share a tab, share a window, and share your whole screen in turn, and satisfy yourself about each. The complete walkthrough is on the download page.

What it will not do

AcePilot builds from your resume and the job description, so it structures your own experience rather than inventing achievements, and it gives you talking-point beats instead of a script to read out. It is a preparation and recall tool, not a guarantee of an outcome.

Questions people ask about Google Meet

Is a browser extension enough for a Google Meet interview?

Usually not, and this is the important difference on Meet. Google Meet runs in the browser, and Chrome's tab sharing shares the rendered contents of that tab — including any extension UI drawn into the page. A native desktop application runs outside the browser entirely, which is why AcePilot is a desktop app rather than an extension.

Does Google Meet's live caption feature interfere with AcePilot?

No. Meet captions are generated from the call audio by Google and rendered inside the Meet interface. AcePilot transcribes the same audio independently on your own machine. The two do not compete for the audio device and neither is aware of the other.

What happens if I share a Chrome tab instead of my whole screen?

Nothing changes for AcePilot. Sharing a tab is the narrowest form of sharing — Meet sends only that tab's contents. AcePilot is a separate desktop application, so it is outside the tab and outside the shared stream either way.

Before you use it

Plenty of employers publish rules for their hiring process, and some prohibit outside assistance outright. We would rather say that plainly than route around it: read the rules of any process you take part in and decide for yourself. Our acceptable use policy sets out where we draw our own line, and the disclaimer is honest about what AcePilot is not.
