# Prepped

> Prepped is a meeting and interview assistant. It listens to a conversation, notices each question and drafts an answer from the person’s own resume, documents, notes and project files, in a small window beside the meeting app.

- Version 0.32.0, in an invited test: accounts are created from invitations, and paid plans and public sign-up open at launch.
- Runs as a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 14.2 or later (the overlay sits beside any meeting app: Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, a browser call or a phone call answered on the computer), as a web app in any browser, and on a phone, which shows a computer’s meeting or runs one itself.
- Answers come from the material the person adds: a resume, a job description, documents, web pages, project folders and Git repositories, their own answers in the question bank, and the conversation so far. Before the meeting, Prepped learns where things are in the person’s projects and finds the facts the meeting is likely to need, each with the file, line or page it comes from; during the meeting it searches every project file, PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files and images included.
- Also included: a question bank of 192 original interview questions in six languages, interview practice with feedback, a resume editor with job matching, calendar connections, meeting notes and transcript export.
- Interface languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and French. Speech recognition on the computer covers Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese and 24 other European languages; online recognition is also offered.
- AI models: OpenAI’s GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 families and DeepSeek on the online service. Use is metered in credits, 100 credits for US$1 of AI use at the provider’s price; creating and activating meetings is free.
- Privacy: on Windows 10 version 2004 and later the overlay is left out of screen sharing, recordings and screenshots; meeting records and the app’s activity record reach Prepped only from people who take part in its user experience program, which the app tells them about first (a condition of the private test, a choice after it); audio is not saved unless the person turns on meeting records in the desktop app. Prepped asks people to confirm that the others in a conversation agree to be recorded.
