## FAQ
### What is CamCue?
CamCue is a desktop AI assistant for interviews, coding questions, quizzes, and calls. It can listen for spoken questions, analyze your entire screen, or read an area you select. Answers appear in your workspace and can be tailored with your CV, a job description, documents, and custom instructions.
### How do Listen, Capture, and Select work?
Listen captures your computer’s system audio, so it hears the other side of the call but not your microphone. It transcribes speech in the cloud and drafts AI answers to spoken questions. Capture analyzes an entire screen in one action. Select lets you drag over the specific question or content you want help with. AI processing needs an internet connection and a CamCue account; you do not need your own API key.
### Can I tailor answers to my CV or a specific job?
Yes. In Interview or Coding Interview mode, add your CV and paste a job description or a public job link. You can also add custom instructions, choose the response language, and save your setup as a reusable context preset. Supported documents include PDF with selectable text, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, TXT, Markdown, CSV, and JSON. Some job pages cannot be imported; paste their text instead.
### Can I try it before a real call?
Yes. Choose “No call? Try a demo” in the app to practice with spoken questions and AI answers. The demo uses your context when provided, or a built-in example profile. You choose when to move to the next question. Demo sessions have a separate allowance shown in the app.
### Is CamCue free? How does PRO work?
Download CamCue free and sign in to use the Free plan’s limited credits. PRO includes unlimited AI credits for Listen, Capture, and Select, with subscriptions at US$9 every 3 days, US$19 every week, US$69 every month. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Upgrade and manage billing in the app. Technical rate limits, session limits, and service availability still apply; checkout shows the final price and any taxes.
### Does CamCue support Mac and Windows?
The Mac download supports Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 14.2 or later, and is signed and notarized by Apple. The signed Windows installer supports x64 PCs running Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11. Intel Mac and native Windows ARM installers are not available.
### What stays on my computer, and what is sent for AI processing?
Listen captures system audio only, never your microphone. CamCue detects speech on your computer and sends those audio segments through CamCue’s service for cloud transcription; the audio is processed in memory and not saved. Recognized speech, text extracted locally from screen captures, and relevant document excerpts and context are sent through CamCue’s service to AI providers to generate answers. Session history is stored locally; account, usage, and technical records are processed by the service. See our Privacy Policy for details.
### Will CamCue be visible when I share my screen?
Stealth requests that supported capture apps exclude CamCue and keeps it out of the macOS Dock. It cannot guarantee invisibility in every recorder, meeting app, or operating-system version. For Zoom, CamCue recommends Advanced capture with window filtering. Always check the receiving view from a second device before a call. Sharing a specific application window or an unshared display is another option.
### How do I cancel or request a refund?
Manage your subscription in the app’s account settings. Cancellation stops the next renewal and normally keeps PRO active until your paid period ends. Uninstalling does not cancel billing. To use the 7-day money-back guarantee, email support@camcue.app within 7 days of the payment, including a renewal. Account deletion and subscription cancellation do not automatically request a refund.
