How to Set Up the Beyz Interview Assistant

TL;DR: your pre‑interview setup checklist

  • Create your Interview Assistant and add brief context (role, domains, notable projects) so guidance reflects your background. Beyz advertises real‑time answering hints tailored to your profile and interview context on its product page AI Interview Assistant overview.
  • Prepare concise, role‑specific cheat sheets you can glance at quickly. Beyz promotes “Generate Interview Cheat Sheets, Tailored to Each Role” on the product page AI Interview Assistant overview.
  • Decide how you’ll view prompts during the call. If you’ll screen share, consider Invisible Desktop; Beyz describes it as always on top and invisible to screen sharing/recording Invisible Desktop.
  • Verify your mic/speakers, do a quick test call, and keep headphones handy to reduce echo.
  • Do a brief rehearsal in practice mode so your layout and audio are familiar. The product page mentions “Train 24/7 in practice mode” AI Interview Assistant overview.
  • Optional but useful: enable Do Not Disturb, close notification‑heavy apps, and tidy your desktop.

Step 1: Create your assistant and add just enough context

  • Open Beyz and create an Interview Assistant for the specific role (e.g., SWE backend, data analyst, PM). Add a short summary of your focus areas and one or two anchor projects.
  • Keep your entries concise so hints stay scannable during live conversation. According to the Beyz product page, the assistant provides “real time answering hints tailored to your profile and interview context” AI Interview Assistant overview.

Practical tip: Aim for two lines per project (problem, contribution) and a few keywords for tools, domains, or metrics you’re comfortable discussing.

Step 2: Prepare quick‑glance cheat sheets

  • Draft your own bullets for common behavioral prompts (conflict, leadership, tight deadline) and role staples (e.g., API design, SQL patterns, incident handling). The Beyz product page highlights “Generate Interview Cheat Sheets, Tailored to Each Role” AI Interview Assistant overview.
  • Keep them lightweight: title + 3–5 bullets. Avoid long paragraphs; you only need enough to jog memory while you look into the camera.

Step 3: Decide how you’ll view prompts (Invisible Desktop for sharing)

If you plan to share your screen or switch between apps, Beyz’s Invisible Desktop is designed for that environment. Key behaviors the vendor lists on the product page:

  • Always on top: “Stays above Zoom, Meet, Teams, your IDE — and never steals focus from the app you’re actually in.” Invisible Desktop
  • Invisible to screen sharing and recording: Beyz states the overlay is “invisible to screen sharing and recording” and that “Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS, QuickTime — they all see a blank spot where Beyz is.” Invisible Desktop
  • Click‑through mode: “One shortcut and the overlay stops blocking your cursor. Type, click, and drag right through it.” Invisible Desktop
  • Opacity and hide/summon: The page shows an opacity dial and a “Hide and summon” toggle so you can fade or tuck prompts quickly Invisible Desktop.
  • Platform notes: Beyz lists macOS 14+ and Windows 11 22H2+, and mentions a downloadable app with “No account required.” Invisible Desktop

Recommendation: Install and open Invisible Desktop before your call, rehearse fading opacity and hide/summon so you can adjust with a single keystroke while you’re speaking. For a quick orientation to on‑screen controls, see Interview Copilot Desktop Controls Explained on our blog.

Step 4: Do an audio sanity check

A minute of audio prep prevents last‑minute surprises:

  • Test your mic and speakers with your meeting platform’s test call. Keep one input/output combo for the interview to avoid hot‑swapping.
  • Use headphones to reduce echo and to keep the interviewer’s voice clear.
  • Close apps that seize the microphone (voice chat, DAWs) and mute system sound effects.

Keep levels consistent: if you use an audio interface, avoid changing sample rates or unplugging devices mid‑call.

Step 5: Run a quick practice in the same layout

Rehearse with the exact layout you’ll use live. The Beyz product page mentions “Practice Anytime with Same Context” and to “Train 24/7 in practice mode” AI Interview Assistant overview. Use that mode to:

  • Confirm your prompt viewing setup (e.g., Invisible Desktop opacity you prefer).
  • Scan a couple of cheat sheets and speak answers out loud.
  • Adjust font size, spacing, and window placement for easy eye contact.

Five minutes here saves you from fiddling after the interviewer joins.

Day‑of routine (2–3 minutes)

  • Open your assistant and your key cheat sheets first AI Interview Assistant overview.
  • Launch Invisible Desktop if you plan to share a screen, and verify the overlay is present but subtle Invisible Desktop.
  • Turn on Do Not Disturb and close noisy apps.
  • Join the meeting, confirm your mic and headphone path, and take one calming breath before the first question.

Troubleshooting quick fixes

  • Prompts appear on your shared screen: switch to the desktop overlay Beyz describes as “invisible to screen sharing and recording” Invisible Desktop.
  • Visual clutter or eye drift: reduce overlay opacity or use the hide/summon toggle so you can glance briefly and return to the camera Invisible Desktop.
  • Audio feels off: switch to wired or Bluetooth headphones, and keep the same mic throughout the call.
