After the Cluely data exposure — what candidates should actually be using
2026-05-17
Cluely's 2025 transcript-exposure incident underlined what every privacy-aware candidate already suspected — interview transcripts are sensitive, and most copilots treat them as marketing telemetry. Here's what we built differently, and what to look for in any tool you trust with a live interview.
How interview copilots actually work — a technical anatomy
2026-05-03
A walkthrough of the audio-capture, STT, LLM, and stealth pipeline that powers a real-time interview copilot. With code references and latency budgets.
Latency teardown — six interview copilots, end-to-end, same machine, same question
2026-05-16
Reproducible benchmark of 7 AI interview copilots on the same MacBook M2. First-token latency from 127ms (Mirly) to 1,810ms (Final Round). Full methodology + raw data.
Stealth by documented OS API, not by trick — how Mirly stays out of screen share
2026-05-15
Mirly's overlay is invisible to Zoom, Teams, Meet, and Webex because it uses NSWindow.sharingType on macOS and SetWindowDisplayAffinity on Windows — the same APIs 1Password and Netflix use. No kernel exploit, no hidden process, no thing-that-will-break-next-Tuesday.
Why we don't auto-renew (and why nobody else in this category can say that)

Half of Final Round AI's 1-star reviews are billing complaints. Mirly is the inverse — opt-in renewal, 5-day reminder email, never a silent charge.
