Silent AI hints
during your interview
Sovia captures the conversation, sends audio through the backend for transcription, and streams concise hints to your overlay. For answer generation you can use managed AI, connect your existing Cursor or Claude setup, or run a local LMStudio model.
Use a hash map for O(1) lookup. Initialize an empty map and make one pass through the array.

A workflow you can explain honestly
Sovia is built for the exact interview loop: hear the question, capture context, pick the model setup you want, and read hints privately.
Capture only when you need help
Start and stop on demand so Sovia only works on the parts of the conversation where you want support.
Screenshots add the missing context
You can send the coding task, diagram, or browser tab together with the transcript so the answer is grounded in what you see.
Use the models you already pay for
Use managed AI providers, connect Cursor or Claude if you already pay for them, or keep inference local with LMStudio.
Read hints privately on your screen
Keep answers in a separate overlay window so you can glance at them without changing your interview flow.
Built for real interviews
One workflow from question to answer: capture audio, add screenshots, and get an answer through the model setup that fits you.
System audio capture
Capture the interview audio directly from your desktop workflow instead of juggling browser tabs, bots, or call plugins.
Instant AI hints
ShortAnswer in seconds, LongAnswer with structure and detail when you need it.
Screenshot context
Snap a code challenge, diagram, or question from your screen. The AI sees exactly what you see.
Managed, Cursor, Claude, or local
Use managed providers, plug in your existing Cursor or Claude setup, or keep inference local with LMStudio depending on your workflow and budget.
Works with your interview setup
Use Sovia alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and browser-based interviews without changing how you normally join calls.
Invisible overlay
Always-on-top, quiet overlay that only you see while the call continues as usual.
Three steps, a few seconds
From question to answer before the interviewer finishes the thought.
Capture
Start question -> audio capture begins
Press Start. Sovia captures system audio in the background. Add screenshots if you want visual context.
Transcribe
Stop question -> backend transcription starts
Sovia backend converts speech to text, prepares the transcript, and passes it into the answer pipeline with minimal waiting.
Answer
LLM streams hints to your overlay
Use managed AI, your existing Cursor or Claude setup, or your own LMStudio model for answer generation. Short and long answers arrive directly in the overlay.
Pay only for what you use

Common questions
Can the interviewer see the overlay?
No. It is a separate always-on-top window under your control. If you share only the browser or a specific app window, Sovia stays outside the shared content.
Does Sovia send audio to the cloud?
Audio goes through Sovia backend for transcription. After that, answer generation can use managed providers, your existing Cursor or Claude setup, or your own LMStudio model.
Which AI providers are supported?
Managed providers, Anthropic/Claude, Cursor-based setups, and local models via LMStudio. You can choose the answer-generation setup that fits your workflow.
How do tokens work?
Backend transcription costs 5 tokens per call. Managed AI answers cost 25 tokens per response. BYO Cursor, Claude/Anthropic, and LMStudio answers cost 3 tokens per response.
Does it work in Zoom, Meet, and Teams?
Yes. Sovia captures system audio, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and browser-based calls.
What macOS version do I need?
macOS Ventura 13 or later, or Windows 10+. Use the desktop app that matches your setup.
Can I use my own local model?
Yes. LMStudio stays supported for answer generation, but speech-to-text itself is handled through Sovia backend.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You get a signup token bonus with no card required so you can test the workflow before paying.
