AI Overlay for CoderPad Live Interviews on Mac
CoderPad Live is the in-browser pair-programming room used by GitHub, Spotify, Lyft, and most of the big-name engineering interview pipelines. Each session records every keystroke, every paste, every focus loss, and replays the whole thing in Playback Mode after End Interview is pressed.
CoderPad anti-cheating model is built around what their docs call the playback bar. After the interview ends, the pad transitions to Playback Mode with a per-participant track of keystrokes, yellow dots for external paste events, and orange dots for moments the candidate browser left focus on the IDE. The AI Notetaker layers a transcript on top, and reviewers can scrub to any moment to see what was on the editor at that exact tick.
Just the pad. CoderPad recording is a structured event log of editor edits, runs, pastes, and focus changes.
No. A paste event fires when the browser injects clipboard text into the editor.
Those fire when the browser tab loses focus. Toggling the overlay with the global hotkey does not steal focus from the browser.
No. The AI Notetaker transcribes microphone audio into text.
No. macOS getDisplayMedia filters out windows marked with the privacy flag before frames ever reach WebRTC.
