What Parakeet AI does: its features
- Auto Answer: detects questions in the call and suggests answers while you talk.
- Coding help: listens for coding questions and reads code shared on your screen.
- Answer, Screenshot and Chat buttons: to ask for an answer, send a screenshot or type a question during the call.
- Your context: your resume, documents and a job description, searched live during the call.
- Two modes: interview, or a regular call mode for meetings and sales calls.
- Choice of AI model: Gemini, GPT and Claude models, picked per session.
- AI notes after every call: a summary, the questions, next steps and the transcript.
- Mock interviews: an AI interviewer that speaks and asks follow-ups; the first one is free.
- Preparation tools: a question bank grouped by company, a resume maker with an ATS score, and AI headshots.
- Hidden from screen sharing: in the desktop app only; its FAQ says the web version can't hide itself.
How Parakeet AI works
- Sign in with Google, Apple or email.
- Create a session: choose the mode, language, AI model, resume and instructions.
- Connect it to the call: in Chrome you share the call's tab; the desktop app captures your display (a Mac asks for Screen Recording permission); on a phone it uses the microphone.
- Credits start counting once the call audio is captured. Each 30 minutes uses half a credit, and a session extends by itself for another half credit unless you turn Auto Extend off.
- It never joins the call as a participant.

- The yearly plan paid by card renews automatically; paid by UPI it is a one-time payment.
