Ace your next tech interview with an AI copilot by your side.
Wingman sits as an invisible overlay on your Mac, transcribes the interview live, and streams structured answers — code solutions, system-design blueprints, and follow-up talking points — before you even finish thinking.

Features
Everything you need in the hot seat
Built for engineers who want to perform at their best under pressure.
Real-Time Answers
Wingman transcribes the interviewer in real time and surfaces a structured answer before you even finish thinking.
LeetCode Solver
Sends any coding problem through a step-by-step breakdown: brute force → optimal, complexity analysis, edge cases.
Invisible Overlay
Floats above your screen as a transparent layer — invisible to screen-sharing tools. Your interviewer never sees it.
System Design Coach
High-level architecture prompts get full component breakdowns, trade-offs, and follow-up talking points.
Tunable Opacity
Dial the window transparency so the panel blends into any backdrop. Fully keyboard-controlled — no mouse needed.
Silent Auto-Update
Built-in updater downloads new versions in the background and notifies you. No manual reinstalls.
Who it's for
Three engineers, one copilot
Wingman shows up in three places: active job hunts, mid-career pivots, and structured prep with a coach.
Senior engineer in active interview season
You are running 3–5 loops a week across coding, system design, and behavioural rounds. Wingman is the safety net for the question you blank on at minute 18 — the one that would have cost you the offer.
Backend engineer moving into ML or platform
New domain, unfamiliar vocabulary, the same brutal pacing. Wingman fills the gap between what you know cold and what you can credibly discuss in real time while you rebuild fluency.
Engineering manager prepping a candidate
Run mock loops, watch Wingman surface the canonical structured answer, then debrief on the gap between your candidate's reply and the model answer. Faster feedback loop than any whiteboard session.
Built by Codersera
From the team that places vetted engineers, for the engineers being interviewed.
Codersera spends every working day on the other side of the technical interview — vetting senior engineers and matching them to remote roles. Wingman is what we'd want in our own pocket: a quiet copilot for the question you didn't see coming. It sits alongside InterviewLab (mock interviews with feedback), Clipy (free screen recording for take-home demos), the full Wingman developer guide, and the Codersera engineering blog.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Wingman record or upload my audio?
No. Audio is captured only to drive the on-device transcription. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Can the interviewer see Wingman?
Wingman is designed to be invisible to screen-sharing tools. The overlay renders exclusively on your physical display, not the shared video stream.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4). Intel builds are not planned.
How does auto-update work?
Wingman checks for new releases on launch. When one is found it downloads silently and shows a one-click "restart to update" prompt.
Is Wingman free?
Yes — Wingman is free. You only pay for the LLM API calls your key makes (typically fractions of a cent per answer).
What AI model does it use?
Wingman calls whatever model your API key supports. Point it at DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic via OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Is using Wingman ethical?
That is a judgement call you make. Wingman is the same category of tool as a notepad of prepared answers, an open IDE, or a second monitor with documentation. We built it for engineers who feel the interview format does not represent how they actually work.
Will Wingman work in screen-share interviews?
Yes. It uses display-capture exclusion (ScreenCaptureKit) so screen-share, Zoom, Meet, and most recording tools see your desktop without the overlay.
Does Wingman do system design diagrams?
Wingman returns structured prose with components, trade-offs, and follow-up talking points. You sketch the diagram while you talk — Wingman feeds you the structure to riff on.
How is Wingman different from InterviewLab?
Wingman is the live copilot during a real interview. InterviewLab is the practice tool — voice-driven mock interviews with structured feedback. Most users prep with InterviewLab and bring Wingman to the live loop.
Can I use Wingman without an internet connection?
No. The transcription is local but answer generation calls an LLM API, which requires connectivity.
Where do I report bugs or request features?
Email support@codersera.com or open an issue on the public release notes page. We read everything and ship fixes in the next auto-update.
Stop stressing. Start acing.
Download Wingman, add your API key, and walk into your next interview with a silent copilot already listening.
