How Does Medhly Work? Setup, Live Help, Platforms and Pricing

Medhly is a desktop meeting assistant, founded in 2025 by a small team based in India, that it markets for both work meetings and job interviews. The app for macOS and Windows 10 and 11 listens to the call through system audio, suggests answers, writes meeting notes and drafts follow-up emails. Its site is not consistent about pricing: the headline copy still offers 5 free meetings a month and a $10 Pro plan, while the pricing section and help answers list hourly and unlimited plans with a 15-minute free demo. This page explains how Medhly 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 Medhly works, step by step

Medhly produces answers in two ways: automatically when it hears a question (auto-trigger is a Standard-plan feature), or on demand with keyboard shortcuts. A second listening mode, Surround, uses the microphone to hear a room or a meeting playing on a nearby device instead of a call, and it can run alongside the normal meeting mode.

1. Download the installer for macOS or Windows 10 or 11 from the homepage; on Windows expect a SmartScreen warning, which Medhly attributes to being a newer, unsigned publisher, and ask support for a checksum if you want to verify the file first.
2. Grant three permissions: microphone (for mic input and Surround), screen and system audio recording (to transcribe the meeting and read the screen), and on macOS, Accessibility, so global keyboard shortcuts work from any app.
3. In Settings, paste the job description verbatim, then set Personalize: an experience band (3 to 5 years, mid-level, or 5 to 7 years, senior) and a format, either one plain block or 2 to 4 short bullets.
4. Use the free 15-minute demo session to test permissions, your meeting app and the shortcuts before a real call.
5. During the call, answers appear automatically, or press Ctrl+Shift+Backslash (Cmd on a Mac) for a fresh answer, Ctrl+Shift+C to type your own question, or Ctrl+Shift+Enter to capture the screen so its vision model can read slides, diagrams or code.
6. After the call, it writes structured notes with decisions, highlights and action items and can send a follow-up email; Standard and above add AI-drawn diagrams in the overlay.

Plans and pricing

Prices as listed on Medhly's own site on November 12, 2026. They change often, so check before you pay.

Free tier: a one-time 15-minute demo session with no card, according to the pricing section and help answers. The homepage headline, its FAQ and its structured data still describe a free plan of 5 meetings a month and a $10 Pro plan with unlimited meetings, so confirm what your account shows before relying on either. One credit equals one hour of meeting time, and visitors in India see rupee prices from ₹170 a month.

Refunds: If none of the credits in your current billing cycle have been used, that cycle can be refunded; once any credit is used it cannot, though cancelling still stops renewals. Cancellations and plan changes are handled by email to support rather than in the dashboard, and credits lost to a confirmed bug are re-credited case by case.

Where your audio and data go

Medhly's privacy policy, last updated April 18, 2026, says it does not store raw audio or meeting recordings, does not use meeting content to train AI models and does not sell personal data. It collects your email and optionally your name, anonymised usage analytics, and server logs such as IP address, browser type and referring URL, which are kept for up to 90 days; payments go through Razorpay. Its help answers describe a zero-retention approach in which audio, transcripts and AI notes are not kept on its servers beyond the active session, and the site claims SOC 2 compliance, which we could not verify. It names no speech or AI providers and no legal entity. Account and data deletion is by email to support.

Limits, and who Medhly suits

• The site gives two different free offers and pricing structures; confirm in the app before you pay.
• Starter's 1 hour a month covers little more than one interview, while Standard's 10 hours suits a few weeks of calls.
• Cancellations are by email, not self-serve, and the Windows installer is unsigned.
• Its headline answer speed of under 50 milliseconds is a vendor figure we did not test.
• Its own help pages say it has no scored mock interviews and is not built for proctored tests; online assessments forbid outside help, so prepare for them instead.

Medhly suits people who want one inexpensive app for both work meetings and interviews, with notes and a follow-up email after every call, and who do not mind handling billing by email.

Medhly vs CoPilot Interview

Where Medhly is stronger: very low entry prices, notes and follow-up emails after every call, a lifetime option, and a screen-reading shortcut for slides and code.

Where CoPilot Interview fits

★ Best choice for most people choosing a live interview assistant: CoPilot Interview. CoPilot Interview is an interview copilot built as a native desktop app for Windows and macOS. It listens to the call and your microphone and shows captions and a structured answer in about two seconds, with free AI mock interviews to rehearse first. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Paid plans start at $24.99 a month with no annual commitment, and hour packs from $9.99 never expire. Audio is streamed in short segments and not stored, and the transcript stays in your Documents folder. Read how CoPilot Interview works for the details. Whatever tool you use, follow your employer's rules; online assessments and AI-led interviews forbid outside help.

Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
