Think Deeper Mode

Perfect for system design

When the question is complex, Dusky thinks harder. Extended AI reasoning for architecture decisions, trade-offs, and multi-step problems.

Example: "Design a distributed cache system"

Think Deeper output:

  • 1. Clarifying questions: Read vs write ratio? Consistency requirements? Data size estimates?
  • 2. High-level design: Client → Load balancer → Cache nodes (consistent hashing) → Storage layer
  • 3. Key trade-offs: Cache eviction (LRU vs LFU), replication (sync vs async), partition strategy
  • 4. Failure modes: Cache stampede, hot keys, network partitions, node failures
  • 5. Scaling considerations: Sharding strategy, capacity planning, monitoring metrics
Activate with: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Covers all major system design topics

FAQ

Common questions

Will interviewers see Dusky during screen share?

No. Dusky uses system-level APIs to stay invisible during screen sharing on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and other platforms. Only you can see the Dusky window.

Where is my data stored?

Audio is streamed for transcription and discarded immediately. Transcripts and AI responses stay on your device only. We never store your interview content on our servers.

What permissions does Dusky need?

Screen recording permission (to stay off screen share) and microphone access (for live transcription). Both are standard macOS/Windows permissions you control.

Which platforms does Dusky work with?

Dusky works with any video conferencing platform: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and more. It runs as a separate desktop app alongside your meeting.

Can I delete my local history?

Yes. All session data is stored locally on your device. You can clear your history anytime from the app settings, or simply delete the app data folder.
