Cluely, Parakeet, Interview Coder, Leetcode Wizard, Final Round AI, LockedIn AI — a new generation of cheating tools is engineered to be invisible to Zoom, Teams, and Meet. Every competitor guesses at behavioral patterns. Capifiq detects the tools themselves.
Hidden AI assistance tool detected and confirmed during session CAP-A7B2.
The damage is already measurable.
Every interview your team runs without integrity verification is a bet that the next hire isn't one of them.
Their own marketing pages say so. Here's what Capifiq sees when they run during an interview.

Future tools
Tool-agnostic detection
Capifiq does not rely on a blocklist. The tools above are confirmed by direct testing. The detection method itself is tool-agnostic — any hidden AI assistance that exploits the gap between what candidates see and what screen sharing exposes is detected on the same principle.
The problem
The tools candidates are using right now were built for one purpose: to be invisible to Zoom, Teams, Meet, and every browser-based proctoring tool on the market. They render answers directly on the candidate's display using graphics-layer techniques that screen-sharing software is architecturally incapable of seeing. Your interviewer sees a polished candidate. The candidate sees a teleprompter.
Invisible AI Overlays
Cluely. Interview Coder. Leetcode Wizard. Final Round AI. Parakeet AI. LockedIn AI. Paid subscriptions starting at $15/month. They listen to your interviewer, generate expert-level answers in 1–2 seconds, and display them on an overlay only the candidate can see. A $240K hiring mistake costs less than dinner for two.
Proxy Candidates
A qualified stand-in joins for the hard questions while the real candidate lip-syncs on camera. The switch happens mid-interview. By the time your team onboards the hire, the person in the Zoom room is gone.
Synthetic Identity
Deepfake video, pre-recorded loops, and AI-generated resumes are no longer fringe. Gartner projects one in four candidate profiles will be entirely fake by 2028. The person you hired may never have existed.
Why Capifiq exists
Browser extensions, behavioral analytics, and AI interview platforms all share one fundamental limitation: they can't see the cheating tool. They can only guess at its shadow. They analyze response timing, eye movement, and language structure, then hand you a probability score and hope you trust it.
That approach is over. Candidates are adapting to behavioral detection faster than the detection can learn. The only reliable answer is to detect the tool itself.
The old way: behavioral inference
The Capifiq way: direct detection
An exhaustive search of the interview-integrity market confirms it: no other product detects hidden AI tools directly. They infer. We prove.
Process
No platform migration. No new video app. Capifiq runs alongside Zoom, Teams, and Meet as a lightweight companion agent — and ships integrity results to your ATS before the hiring manager finishes their coffee.
Schedule the interview
Create a session in Capifiq, or let your ATS do it automatically. The candidate receives a clear 48–24–2 hour email sequence explaining the integrity check, the agent, and their rights — no day-of surprises.
Candidate completes setup
A 30-second install, a six-character session code, and a mandatory environment check. The agent lives in the system tray. It never blocks, terminates, or restricts anything on the candidate's machine.
Interview proceeds normally
Your interviewer conducts the interview on whatever platform they already use. A live integrity score appears on a separate dashboard tab, with immediate alerts when a cheating tool is detected.
Get the integrity report
Within minutes of the interview ending, Capifiq delivers a comprehensive report with timestamped evidence, cryptographically hashed signal chain, and a full-session analysis. Results push directly to your ATS.
Real-time alerts during the interview. Deep analysis after. Both layers contribute to a single integrity score with defensible, timestamped evidence.
Real-time active detection
During the live interview, Capifiq identifies hidden AI tools, proxy switching, and identity anomalies as they happen.
Post-interview AI analysis
After the interview ends, a second AI pass analyzes the full session with no real-time latency constraints — catching patterns that only emerge across the complete timeline.
All detection verdicts are generated server-side. All evidence is cryptographically hashed at capture. Findings are independently verifiable.
| Feature | Capifiq | Behavioral tools | Browser proctoring | Full-platform replacements |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detects hidden AI tools directly | ✓ | ✗ infers from behavior | ✗ can't see past the browser | ✗ |
| Works with Zoom / Teams / Meet | ✓ | Some | ✗ | ✗ replaces them |
| Deterministic evidence, not probability | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Real-time + post-interview dual pass | ✓ | Real-time only | Screen recording only | Varies |
| Patent-pending core detection | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| No candidate lockdown | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
Fabric and Sherlock AI are real products with thoughtful behavioral engineering. They also publicly state that they detect cheating tools by analyzing candidate behavior, not the tools. That's a meaningful category difference — not a dig.
Candidate experience
The agent observes, analyzes, and reports. It never blocks, terminates, or restricts the candidate's computer. We designed Capifiq with the belief that fair hiring and respectful candidate experience aren't in tension.
30-second install.
A fraction of the size of typical desktop apps.
No browser lockdown.
Candidates use their normal setup. Nothing is blocked.
No persistent monitoring.
The agent runs only during scheduled interview windows.
Clear communication.
48–24–2 hour email sequence. Mandatory dry-run environment check.
Security & Privacy
Encrypted in transit
All session data, detection signals, and integrity reports are encrypted in transit and at rest.
Tamper-proof evidence
Every detection verdict is cryptographically hashed at the moment of capture. Evidence is independently verifiable.
Server-side verdicts only
All detection logic runs on Capifiq servers. The candidate agent collects signals; it never makes detection decisions locally.
What we never do
We never record video or audio. We never store screen captures. We never access files outside the interview session window.
