AI Assistance
Dusky analyzes interview questions — from screenshots or transcripts — and returns structured answers powered by AI.
Get an AI response
Section titled “Get an AI response”- Capture a question with Cmd/Ctrl+H (screenshot) or let audio transcription pick it up.
- Press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to send it to AI.
What you get back
Section titled “What you get back”Every structured answer opens with a one-line TL;DR — the approach and complexity for a coding question, the chosen option for multiple choice, the architecture shape for system design, or the punchline for a behavioral answer — so you can start speaking before you have read the whole response.
Below the TL;DR, and depending on the question type, Dusky returns:
- Solution code with syntax highlighting
- Time complexity and space complexity analysis
- Explanation of the approach in bullet points
Answers render as formatted Markdown. Use the Copy button to copy the whole response, the Copy code button on any code block to grab just the code, or Regenerate to ask for a fresh answer.
Dusky automatically detects the question format — behavioral, system design, technical, or conceptual — and adjusts the response style to match. You can also set the format yourself with Interview Type, and control how fast and detailed answers are with Response Speed.
Review existing code
Section titled “Review existing code”If you paste or show Dusky some existing code and ask it to review it, Dusky returns a proper code review — a line-numbered list of bugs and issues — instead of silently rewriting your code. This only happens when you explicitly ask for a review; a normal coding question still gets a solution.
Answer as yourself
Section titled “Answer as yourself”Add your CV and the job description in Interview Context and Dusky grounds its answers in your real experience — most noticeably for behavioral (STAR) questions.
Response formats by question type
Section titled “Response formats by question type”| Question type | What Dusky returns |
|---|---|
| Coding / technical | Working code, complexity analysis, explanation |
| System design | Architecture overview, component breakdown, trade-offs |
| Behavioral | Structured answer using STAR format, key talking points |
| Conceptual | Clear explanation, examples, related concepts |
Clear and start fresh
Section titled “Clear and start fresh”Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K to clear the current response, transcript buffer, and staged screenshots. This resets the context so your next question starts clean.
To reset between interview rounds without losing your setup, open the ⋯ menu and choose New Round. This clears the conversation but keeps your Interview Context (CV and job description) in place.
Need a deeper answer?
Section titled “Need a deeper answer?”For complex problems, use Think Deeper mode (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter) to get extended analysis with edge cases, alternative approaches, and optimization suggestions.
AI providers
Section titled “AI providers”Dusky routes requests through its own backend. You do not need to bring your own API key — AI access is included with your Dusky subscription.
