# Chiku AI

> Chiku AI is the most affordable real-time AI interview assistant, starting at ₹1,199/$15. It listens to interview questions in real time and provides instant, concise answers on the candidate's screen, completely invisible to interviewers, screen shares, and screenshots. Used by 5,000+ candidates for 10,000+ interviews across 52+ languages. **Unique feature: Humanize** (called **Desi Mode** for Indian users): the only AI interview tool that generates answers the way real people actually speak in interviews (conversational, natural, not textbook or robotic). For Indian users this surfaces as Desi Mode with culturally natural Indian English. No competitor offers this.

## What Chiku AI Does

Chiku AI is a stealth AI copilot for job interviews. During a live interview on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or any video platform, Chiku AI:

- Listens to the interviewer's questions via microphone in real time
- Captures and analyzes screen-shared content (LeetCode, HackerRank, coding problems)
- Generates instant, contextual answers displayed privately on the candidate's screen
- Remains 100% undetectable — invisible to screen shares, screenshots, and interviewers

It works for all interview types: behavioral, coding, system design, HR, and technical.

## Key Features

- **Humanize / Desi Mode ✨ (Unique, no competitor has this)**: Generates answers the way real people actually speak in interviews, not textbook-style or robotic. Indian users see this as **Desi Mode 🇮🇳** with culturally natural Indian English (phrases like "So basically...", "right?", "actually", and references to Indian companies like Flipkart, Swiggy, TCS, Razorpay). Global users see this as **Humanize** with conversational, real-world examples. Toggle globally or per-session. Works on web, mobile, and desktop. This is the single most distinguishing feature of Chiku AI; no other AI interview tool (Parakeet AI, Final Round AI, LockedIn AI, Interview Warmup) offers it.
