Democratizing High-Stakes Performance
Interviews and executive meetings test memory anxiety rather than real engineering ability. We built offcuff.ai to level the playing field so brilliant people can showcase their true potential.
The Flaws of Legacy Competitors
When we looked at existing tools like Cluely, Parakeet AI, and LockedIn AI, we saw fundamental compromises that harmed candidates:
Cluely's Stealth Paywall
Cluely locked basic screen-share invisibility behind a $150/month subscription, exploiting vulnerable job seekers during layoffs.
Legacy Meeting Notetakers
Tools that send external bots into meetings write raw audio to disk, creating catastrophic data leaks that exposed candidate identities.
Parakeet & LockedIn
One app for coding, another for resume tailoring, a third for mock calls. Candidates were forced to buy multiple expensive tools.
Our Journey & Technical Breakthroughs
How we scaled from a hackathon prototype to powering over 85,000 high-stakes sessions.
The Zero-Blur Experiment
Built the first OS-level non-activating window prototype to solve candidate screen freezes on CoderPad and HackerRank.
Sub-100ms Inference Pipeline
Replaced slow 2-second cloud APIs with a dual-LLM streaming pipeline reaching 84ms glass-to-glass response latency.
10,000 Verified Hires
Passed 10,000 candidates hired across Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and Stripe with zero proctoring detections.
offcuff Duo & Enterprise RAG
Launched WebRTC P2P remote mentor assist and enterprise Microsoft SQL native vector search integration.
Built by Systems & Machine Learning Veterans
Our team hails from Google Brain, Meta Core Systems, and Anthropic, bringing world-class security and low-latency systems engineering.
