What is Whisperer

Overview

Whisperer is a personal AI assistant for video calls. It works as a desktop overlay: a lightweight glass panel that sits on top of any video service (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, Discord, and any others). Whisperer listens to audio in real time, keeps a transcript of the conversation with speaker labels, suggests answers via large language models (LLMs), translates remarks, and can analyze on-screen screenshots.

The key feature: the panel is invisible in screen sharing and screen demos — only you can see it. The person on the other end of the call won't see the transcript or the suggestions. And no integration with the video service itself is required: Whisperer doesn't add bots and doesn't join the call as a participant — it works on top of any application.

When to use it

Whisperer is useful for anyone who is frequently on video calls and wants to respond faster and more accurately. Four main audiences:

  • Job seekers — support during interviews, including behavioral interviews and System Design (structured answers with diagrams).
  • Teachers and tutors — quick access to facts, translation, lesson notes.
  • Sales and managers — product talking points, objection handling, capturing agreements.
  • Anyone often on calls — transcript, translation, and meeting summaries without taking notes by hand.

Step-by-step

To understand how the product works, just picture a single call:

  1. You launch the desktop client (macOS or Windows) — an overlay panel appears on top of your screen.
  2. You press play — Whisperer starts listening to your microphone and system audio.
  3. A live transcript appears on the fly with speaker labels: [Me] and [Them].
  4. You ask a question (by text, from what was heard, or from a screenshot) — the model answers in the answer area with paginated pages.
  5. After the session, the web dashboard gives you history, a meeting mind map, and search across your knowledge base.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a "bot in the call." Whisperer does not join the meeting as a participant and does not require an invite link. It runs locally on your Mac on top of any application.
  • Worrying that the other person will see the suggestions. The overlay is invisible in screen sharing and screen demos — only you can see it.
  • Trying to use the core product on Free without a subscription. The free plan includes 60 minutes per month and basic features; sessions, the knowledge base, and advanced modes require an active paid subscription.

Best practices

  • Start with the quickstart to go from sign-up to your first session in five minutes.
  • Review the plans ahead of time: Free is good for getting acquainted, but regular work with sessions and the knowledge base requires Pro or Max.
  • If you need frontier models like Claude Opus or flagship GPT, those are the Max plans.
