Whis-AI

Your Intelligent Thought Partner for Live Technical Interviews

Phase 1: Installation

1. Install: Drag Whis.app from your Downloads folder directly into your Applications folder.

2. First Launch: Open your Applications folder and double-click Whis to start. Note: On macOS, launching from the Applications folder is the required way to open the app.

Fix for "App is Damaged" Error

On some macOS machines, security policies may flag the file. If you receive a "Damaged File" or "Unidentified Developer" error, open your Terminal and run this exact command:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Whis.app

Enter your system password when prompted (characters will not appear as you type) and press Enter. Now the app will open perfectly.

Required Permissions

For Whis-AI to function, the following permissions must be toggled ON in your Mac System Settings > Privacy & Security:

Microphone: Allow access so the app can hear audio.
Accessibility: Allows the app to stay on top of other windows.
Screen Recording: Required for the screenshot feature to work.

Phase 2: Visibility vs. Invisibility

Crucial Distinction: It is important to know the difference between hiding the app from yourself and protecting your screen share.

The Hide Shortcut (Ctrl + \)

This is for physical privacy. It removes the app from your own screen so no one looking at your monitor can see it. However, it may still be visible in a screen share unless you have digital protection.

Screenshare Invisibility (Elite Only)

This is for digital privacy. Part of the Elite (Pro Plus) Plan, this feature uses "Content Protection" to automatically hide the overlay from viewers on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, even while you can see it.

Phase 3: Mastering Features

Focused Listening

The app is specifically tuned to only listen to the interviewer. It captures system sound so your own voice doesn't clutter the transcription.

Voice States

The Mic button turns Red and pulses when active. If it hears silence, the app types a "." every second as a "heartbeat" to show it's still waiting for speech.

Screenshot OCR

Use the camera icon or hotkey to snap a prompt. The AI reads the text and provides a technical solution, including code and logic.

Context Manager

Upload your Resume or Job Description in the "Manage Contexts" menu. The AI prioritizes this data to give you personalized answers tailored to your experience.

Crisp Mode

Toggle the Bullseye icon for short, punchy answers under 300 characters, perfect for fast reading during a call.

10-Min Free Pass

New users can access 10-minute Trial sessions to experience the full power of Whis-AI. Use the "X" stop button next to the timer to end a trial manually.

Phase 4: Closing the App

To Close Permanently: Standard window closing only hides the interface. To fully exit the app, you must click the "X" symbol button in the top-right corner of the application header.
