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. Capifiq detects the tool itself.
The old way: behavioral inference
The Capifiq way: direct detection
Defensible hiring decisions
When you reject a candidate, you need more than a confidence score. You need evidence that holds up to scrutiny: the tool was running, at this time, with this hash. End of discussion.
No false positives from behavior
Nervous candidates look away. Non-native speakers pause longer. Behavioral analysis flags innocent people. Capifiq detects tools, not body language.
Works with your existing stack
Zoom, Teams, Meet. No migration, no new video platform to adopt, no interviewer retraining. It runs alongside what you already use.
Respects candidates
No lockdown browser. No webcam surveillance. No file access. The agent observes for cheating tools; it never controls the candidate's machine.
Catches tomorrow's tools
Signature-based detection breaks every time a new tool launches. Capifiq's approach is tool-agnostic: if it's a cheating tool running on the candidate's machine, it's caught, whether we've seen it before or not.
Interviewer training included
Some tools run off-device where no software can reach. Every Capifiq account includes a free interviewer briefing to defeat the tools that detection alone can't catch.

Patent-pending method
The detection approach is defensible, not copyable. A provisional patent application is on file.
Deterministic evidence
Every finding is timestamped, cryptographically hashed, and independently verifiable. Not a probability score.
Tool-agnostic by design
We don't scan for a list of known programs, so disguise and rename don't beat us. Built tomorrow, caught tomorrow.
