Everything You Need to Know

GhOst supports all interview types: (1) Technical coding interviews, including algorithms, data structures, and live coding challenges, (2) Behavioral interviews, using frameworks like the STAR method for structured responses, (3) System design interviews, with architectural guidance and best practices, (4) Case study interviews for consulting and business roles, and (5) Panel interviews with support for managing multiple interviewers. The product is designed to provide specialized guidance across these interview categories.

We provide email support for all users at support@ghostai.one, with priority handling for paid customers. Support is staffed during business hours from Monday to Friday, with limited weekend coverage. The Grievance Officer also receives formal grievances at support@ghostai.one; other response times can vary with request volume. We also provide documentation and onboarding help. See the Contact page for current support details.

GhOst can support preparation for coding, system design, and behavioral rounds commonly used by large technology companies. It can propose candidate technical approaches and structured behavioral drafts using context you provide, but it cannot guarantee correctness, infer missing experience, or predict a company's exact interview process. Verify output and confirm current process details with your recruiter.

GhOst can support preparation across startup interview formats such as coding, product thinking, system design, and behavioral questions. It can provide candidate solutions, structured outlines, and follow-up suggestions, but startup processes vary and generated guidance may be wrong or incomplete. Confirm the format, test technical output, and adapt behavioral drafts to your real experience.

Getting started is simple: (1) Create your account at ghostai.one, (2) Download the GhOst desktop application for Windows or macOS, (3) Complete the quick setup to configure your preferences, (4) Practice with the mock interview mode to get comfortable with the interface, (5) Review your AI Studio settings, and (6) Use GhOst in interviews or assessments where assistance is permitted. We recommend trying it in low-stakes practice sessions first before an important interview.

Setup is quick for most people. Download the app, sign in, and configure a few basic settings. We recommend spending some additional time practicing with the interface so you're comfortable before a real interview. Exact time varies by device and how much you customize, so plan for a short setup session plus a little practice.

GhOst runs as a desktop application that captures question text from the screen or optional audio transcription, then sends that context to its managed AI service. It shows candidate coding, behavioral, or system design guidance in a desktop overlay, with the available model lineup updated over time. AI output can be wrong or incomplete, so verify technical details and use only personal examples that are true. GhOst includes desktop privacy controls designed to keep its interface out of supported screen sharing captures and reduce unnecessary on screen exposure.

GhOst is engineered for discretion through a native desktop architecture and privacy controls designed for supported screen sharing workflows. Compatibility can vary by operating system, platform, capture mode, and software version, and no tool can guarantee zero detection risk in every environment. Review the relevant policies and test your exact setup before an important session.

GhOst is designed for broad Windows and macOS interview workflows, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, HackerRank, CodeSignal, Codility, CoderPad, and LeetCode. Exact behavior can depend on the platform version and capture mode, so check current compatibility guidance and test your setup before a critical session.

GhOst is optimized for responsive, real time guidance. Actual latency depends on the selected model, network conditions, question complexity, and device. Coding workflows can propose candidate solutions and complexity estimates, while behavioral workflows can produce structured response drafts. Review AI output before relying on it.

GhOst supports a wide range of popular programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, and Scala, among others. It also works with many spoken languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, German, and French, which makes it useful for international and multilingual interviews. The exact set of supported languages can change over time, so check the current product documentation for the latest coverage.

GhOst runs as a native desktop app on Windows and macOS (Windows 10 and later, and recent versions of macOS). You'll also need a stable internet connection for real time features, since the managed AI runs through GhOst's service. Exact system requirements can change with new releases, so check the current requirements on the install and download page before setting up.

In the current desktop workflow, voice optimization means speech-ready wording shown as text in the GhOst overlay. It can help shape a concise draft for you to adapt and say in your own words; GhOst does not synthesize speech or play answers through an earpiece. AI drafts can be wrong or contain invented details, so verify them and use only statements that are true for you. Check the current product and pricing pages for version-specific availability.

GhOst's advanced, higher tier capabilities are updated over time, and specific behaviors can depend on your plan, operating system, and product version. We don't want to overstate any biometric or nonverbal analysis features without confirming exactly what's available to you. For the current feature set included in your plan, and how any advanced capabilities work, check the product and pricing pages or contact support before relying on them in a live session.

Security is a priority. Per our Privacy Policy, GhOst uses TLS 1.3 encryption for data in transit and AES 256 encryption for data at rest, role based access controls with least privilege principles, multi factor authentication for administrative access, and regular security audits and penetration testing of our own infrastructure. We do not use advertising networks or behavioural tracking. Data handling and breach notification practices are governed by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and are described in full on our Privacy page. Review it for the current, authoritative details.

Retention depends on the type of data. Per our Privacy Policy, account data, billing records, security logs, support communications, and authorization documents each have their own retention periods (some set by Indian tax and IT rules). After cancellation, client data is generally retained for about 30 days for recovery purposes and then deleted in line with the policy. You can request deletion of your data through your account settings or by contacting us. See the Privacy page for the current, authoritative retention schedule.

GhOst keeps pricing simple with two paid styles. Credit packs are best for flexible usage: Basic is $19.99 / ₹1,899 for 3 credits, Plus is $39.99 / ₹3,799 for 8 total credits, and Pro is $57.49 / ₹5,399 for 15 total credits. If you need continuous access, the unlimited subscription is $49.99 / ₹4,699 monthly or $149.99 / ₹13,999 yearly. One credit covers one hour of live interview usage, and a limited trial lets you evaluate the product first. Prices, credit validity, and any taxes are confirmed at checkout, and refunds follow the current Cancellations & Refunds policy. Review those pages for the latest terms.

A limited trial is available so you can evaluate the managed AI workflow before choosing a paid option. The exact entitlement is shown during signup and checkout. Continue with one time credit packs for flexible usage or an unlimited monthly or yearly plan for heavier interview volume.

Refunds follow our Cancellations & Refunds Policy. A first full-price paid purchase may qualify for our one-per-user voluntary refund when requested within 72 hours and completely unused. Purchases made with coupons, promotional codes, sale prices, referral discounts, retention offers, or other price reductions are excluded from the voluntary refund. Duplicate, incorrect, unauthorized, or materially failed transactions are handled separately under the detailed policy. Review the current policy or contact support@ghostai.one before purchasing.

GhOst and Final Round AI are both AI interview assistants, and the right choice depends on what you need. GhOst's verified strengths are a native Windows and macOS desktop app, managed AI with no API keys to configure, one workflow that covers coding, behavioral, and system design rounds, desktop privacy controls for supported screen sharing captures, and flexible pricing with both one time credit packs and unlimited monthly or yearly plans. GhOst tends to fit candidates who want a desktop first system spanning the full interview cycle and a choice between pay as you go access and unlimited access. Final Round AI may suit other buyers depending on their priorities. Competitor features, pricing, and platform support change over time, so compare the current details on each vendor's site before deciding.

GhOst and Cluely serve overlapping but different needs, so the better choice depends on your goal. GhOst is built specifically around interviews: its verified strengths are a native Windows and macOS desktop app, managed AI with no API keys to configure, one workflow covering coding, behavioral, and system design rounds, desktop privacy controls for supported screen sharing captures, and flexible pricing with one time credit packs plus unlimited monthly or yearly plans. It tends to fit candidates whose main goal is interview performance across technical and behavioral rounds. Cluely may be the better fit for buyers focused on broader, general purpose meeting assistance. Features and pricing on both sides change over time, so compare the current details on each vendor's site before deciding.

GhOst is the stronger fit for candidates who want more than a coding only workflow: managed AI with no API key setup, coding plus behavioral and system design support, native Windows and macOS apps, desktop privacy controls, and a choice of one time credits or unlimited plans. Interview Coder remains a focused option for coding rounds; compare current features and pricing before choosing.

Whether AI assistance is appropriate depends entirely on the context and the rules that apply to your interview. GhOst is designed first as a preparation and practice tool for rehearsing with mock interviews, reviewing coding and system design concepts, and building confidence before the real thing. It can also support workflows where outside help is explicitly permitted, such as many take home and open book assessments, and can assist with accessibility needs. It should not be used to misrepresent your ability or to violate rules that prohibit outside assistance. Interview, employer, school, and platform policies differ, so confirm what is allowed for your specific process and use GhOst only where assistance is permitted. Used this way, it helps you prepare better and perform at your genuine best.

Use GhOst first as a preparation and practice tool: (1) Rehearse with mock interviews so concepts feel natural under pressure, (2) Use it to find and study your weak areas rather than to replace real learning, (3) Lean on it for workflows where outside help is explicitly permitted, such as many take home and open book assessments, (4) Use it to support accessibility needs, (5) Be honest about your abilities and don't use it to misrepresent your skills, and (6) Check the rules that apply to your interview, employer, school, or platform, and use GhOst only where assistance is allowed. It works best alongside genuine skill development, not as a substitute for it.

No software can guarantee zero detection risk across every operating system, platform, capture mode, and version. GhOst is designed to reduce on-screen exposure through desktop privacy controls, but you should test your exact setup, understand the applicable policies, and use AI assistance only where it is permitted.
