OphyAI is a career platform whose Interview Copilot gives live answer suggestions during calls, alongside practice interviews, a résumé builder, coding practice, job search and an application tracker. The copilot runs in a desktop app for Mac and Windows, code-signed by Ophy Labs Inc., or in the browser as Whisper Mode, a picture-in-picture window for computers where you cannot install software. Everything is paid for with monthly credits shared across tools, or with one-off passes. This page explains how OphyAI 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 OphyAI works, step by step
OphyAI counts credits per session, not per minute: a Standard or Technical Copilot session costs 15 credits and an Advanced one 25, and each paid session can run for up to two hours.
- Create an account; the first Standard Copilot session, up to 15 minutes, is free with no card. Add your résumé and the job description so answers can draw on them.
- Install the desktop app, version 1.0.12 on the day we checked, on macOS 13 Ventura or later (Apple silicon or Intel) or on 64-bit Windows 10 version 2004 or later or Windows 11. On a Mac, allow microphone and screen-recording access; on Windows, Microsoft SmartScreen may warn on first run.
- Or open Whisper Mode in a desktop browser, which needs no install, for Google Meet, Zoom or Teams calls on a laptop where you cannot add apps.
- Start a session. The desktop app listens to system audio, so it hears Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Slack huddles or Discord without tab sharing or a virtual audio cable, and transcribes the interviewer.
- Suggestions, talking points and follow-up prompts stream into the answer window in one of four layouts: Teleprompter, Panel, Split Desk or Q&A Feed. Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A asks for an answer now, Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Space opens or closes the answer window, and Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P toggles click-through.
- On Premium, separate Coding Interview and System Design copilots handle technical rounds, at 15 and 30 credits a session.

Plans and pricing
Prices as listed on OphyAI's own site on November 12, 2026. They change often, so check before you pay.
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 5 one-time credits, a first Standard Copilot session of up to 15 minutes, one 15-minute practice session |
| Pro | $29 a month, or $278 a year | 300 credits a month, about 20 Standard Copilot sessions; practice, résumé builder, coding practice, job search |

Prices vary by country; these are the US prices. Credits refresh monthly and are shared across every tool, so practice and résumé work reduce the number of copilot sessions. A $9 Basic plan was retired in July 2026.
Free tier: 5 one-time credits and a first Standard Copilot session of up to 15 minutes, with no card, once per account.
Refunds: Its refund policy (September 9, 2026) offers no money-back guarantee on monthly plans; cancelling stops future charges only, and refunds are limited to verified malfunctions. First-time yearly or quarterly purchases have a 72-hour money-back guarantee with reasonable usage, and renewals and upgrades are non-refundable. Interview Passes and credit packs are non-refundable except for a verified malfunction that prevented any use.
Where your audio and data go
OphyAI's privacy policy (last updated December 17, 2025) lists real-time transcriptions and session recordings among the interview data it collects, says interview sessions are stored for your review, and keeps account data until you delete the account, without fixed periods. It names OpenAI, Google (Gemini) and Groq as AI providers and says they do not train on your data, while listing 'enhancing our AI models and algorithms' among its own uses. It does not name its speech-to-text, payment or hosting providers. You can delete your account and associated data from your profile at any time.
Limits, and who OphyAI suits
- The free allowance is one 15-minute session for the life of the account.
- Credits are shared, so résumé and practice work eat into copilot sessions.
- Coding Interview and System Design copilots need Premium.
- Monthly plans and passes are effectively non-refundable.
- Premium also sells one-way interview and aptitude-test tools; those formats forbid outside help, so use OphyAI to practice for them instead.
OphyAI suits candidates who want a full career toolkit and a live copilot under one subscription, a browser-only mode for a locked-down laptop, or a single $9.99 pass for one important interview.

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.
