Phantum AI is the AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac. The desktop app runs on Windows 10 and 11, the Mac version is coming soon, and you can control it from your iPhone or Android phone in the browser. Every question below has its own page with the details. Prices and plans are on Pricing, and every fact is on Phantum AI at a glance.

Getting started

How do I install Phantum AI on Windows?

Download the signed installer from the download page and run it. It installs for your user in under a minute with no admin prompt and opens Phantum when it is done. Phantum runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.

How do I set up my first interview session?

Sign in with Google and follow the four-step tour, which tests your microphone and the interviewer's audio. Then press Start session, add your résumé, the company and the job description, and press Start interview. The strip docks under your webcam and starts listening.

How do I get answers during a live interview?

Press Get answer (Ctrl+Shift+J) when the interviewer asks something. A card starts at once: a first sentence to start speaking with, then the answer in three or four short beats you can glance at. You can also type a question or analyse your screen for a coding problem.

What are Phantum's keyboard shortcuts?

Ctrl+Shift+J gets an answer, Ctrl+Shift+I types a question, Ctrl+Shift+S analyses your screen, Ctrl+Shift+P pauses or resumes listening, and Ctrl+Shift+Home puts the strip back under your webcam. They work while the call app is in front.

Can I control Phantum from my phone (iPhone or Android)?

Yes. Press the phone button on the strip and scan the code with an iPhone or Android phone signed in to the same Phantum account. The phone shows each answer as it arrives and can press Get answer, type a question or analyse your screen. It runs in the phone's browser, with nothing to install.

Can Phantum give simple English answers for non-native speakers?

Yes. Turn on Easy English and every answer uses short sentences, everyday words and no idioms, so it is quick to read and natural to say out loud. It is one switch in the account menu on the Setup screen, and it applies to every answer until you turn it off.

Can the interviewer see Phantum on screen share in Zoom, Teams or Google Meet?

No. Windows leaves the strip out of every screen share, recording and screenshot, whether you share one window, a browser tab or your whole screen, in any call app. It cannot hide from a camera pointed at your screen, and some proctoring or test apps can see which programs are running.

Where do my interview audio and transcripts go?

Your audio goes from your computer straight to the transcription model, on a key that works only for that session. Phantum never receives or stores the audio. Transcripts stay on your computer for 30 days, and the answer records Phantum keeps to fix problems are deleted after 30 days.

How do sessions and minutes work, and what if I run out mid-interview?

One session is one hour of live interview, and a shorter call uses only the minutes it took. If your minutes run out mid-interview, the session pauses instead of ending and keeps listening for up to 10 minutes; buy a top-up in the browser and it carries on with nothing lost.

How do I cancel Phantum, and can I get a refund?

Cancel anytime from Billing in your account: you keep your minutes until the period ends, and nothing renews after it. Partly used periods are not refunded, but if something went wrong on our side, such as a billing bug or an outage during your interview, email support and we make it right.
