About CTRLpotato
Socials: CTRLpotato is a macOS + Windows real-time AI interview assistant for live interviews, coding challenges, and proctored online tests. With one keystroke, it captures text selections, screenshots, or live-transcribed audio, fuses the context, and returns a concise, human-sounding solution from top models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, etc.). It runs off-screen or mirrored to your phone for screen-share safety, with custom shortcuts, resume/document context, and on-the-fly model switching. Built for speed and discretion, stealth by design, answers in ~2–3 seconds, so candidates deliver clear, confident responses on Zoom/Teams/Meet, HackerRank, TestGorilla, and more.
