AssistBee is a desktop interview and meeting assistant for Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.15 Catalina or later, priced in Indian rupees. Its terms are governed by Indian law with arbitration seated in Chennai, though they name no legal entity. It captures system audio and your microphone, transcribes the call and streams an answer to an overlay on your own screen when you press a shortcut. Despite the similar name, it is not InterviewBee. This page explains how AssistBee works step by step, the platforms and meeting apps it supports, its plans and free tier as listed on its site on November 12, 2026, where your data goes, its limits, and how it compares with CoPilot Interview. We make CoPilot Interview, so read the comparison with that in mind.
How AssistBee works, step by step
AssistBee answers on request rather than on every question: Ctrl+Enter sends roughly the last two minutes of conversation to the AI, and Ctrl+Shift+Enter captures the screen. On the free plan, that request budget is 10 AI answers a day.
- Sign up (Google sign-in is supported), download the Windows or Mac app and log in; the site says setup takes about two minutes and needs no browser extension.
- Add a résumé profile and custom instructions for your role, tech stack and answer style; the free plan holds one custom prompt and one résumé profile, Pro three of each, and Pro Max unlimited.
- Join the call in any app that plays audio through the computer. AssistBee captures system audio and your microphone together and transcribes with voice-activity detection, in languages including Tamil, Hindi, Spanish, French, German and Japanese, and speech that mixes English with another language.
- When a question lands, press Ctrl+Enter. The answer streams into the overlay, always in English, and version 2.0 can offer alternate readings of an ambiguous question.
- For a coding problem or diagram, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter for screen analysis, a paid feature from the passes up, which returns the approach, edge cases and solution structure.
- On passes and plans, meeting notetaking runs alongside the answers, and Pro adds an AI meeting summary.

Prices are shown only in rupees, with quarterly (15 percent off) and yearly (33 percent off) billing and a lifetime deal whose price was not shown. Its homepage FAQ on the same day still quoted a Meeting Pass at ₹199 for 2 hours and Monthly Pro at ₹999, so confirm the price at checkout.
Free tier: 10 AI responses a day with real-time transcription and no card; screen analysis is not included. Its FAQ also offers a free Interview Pass in return for a detailed review.
Refunds: Its terms (last updated May 21, 2026) say all Pro and Pro Max payments are non-refundable, passes are non-refundable once any part is used, and the lifetime plan is final. Exceptions are at AssistBee's discretion for duplicate or unauthorised charges and for outages of more than 72 continuous hours, if you ask within 7 days. Subscriptions renew until cancelled at least 24 hours before the next billing date, and payments run through Razorpay.
Where your audio and data go
Its privacy policy (last updated November 12, 2025) says audio is processed in real time by Azure Speech Services and not stored, transcripts are held in memory only during the session, and screenshots are processed by Azure OpenAI and not kept. The homepage FAQ adds that transcripts, questions and answers are never saved to disk or uploaded and disappear when the app closes. Account data sits in Supabase, the backend and AI run on Microsoft Azure, sign-in uses Google, card and UPI details go straight to Razorpay, and billing records are kept for at least eight years under Indian rules, even after deletion. It does not say whether data is used to train models. Account deletion is by email to support.
Limits, and who AssistBee suits
- Free is 10 answers a day and excludes screen analysis.
- Answers are always in English, even when the interview is not.
- Every payment is non-refundable apart from narrow exceptions.
- Nothing is kept after the app closes, so there is no transcript to review before the next round.
- Its own terms recommend using it for practice rather than in interviews where such help may not be permitted.
AssistBee suits budget-minded candidates in India who want a lightweight desktop app, pay in rupees through Razorpay, run an older Mac, and are happy to press a key for each answer.
