## What it is
Cheating Daddy is a free, open-source Electron desktop app that acts as a real-time AI assistant during video calls, interviews, and meetings. It captures screen content and system audio, feeds them to Google Gemini, and displays contextual answers in an invisible always-on-top overlay window.

## Use cases
- get real-time AI help during job interviews
- receive contextual answers during sales calls and negotiations
- get live assistance during presentations and meetings
- capture screen and audio and feed it to Gemini for instant answers
- hide an assistant window from screen sharing and recordings
- practice interview questions with AI-generated responses

## When to choose
- you need real-time, context-aware AI help during live video calls
- you want a free tool that works with your own Gemini API key
- you need an overlay window that is invisible to screen shares and recordings
- you want profile-specific behavior for interviews, sales, or meetings

## When to avoid
- you need a fully supported Linux experience (Linux support is experimental)
- you are uncomfortable with a tool explicitly designed to be undetectable during proctored sessions
- you want a self-contained AI without providing your own API key
- your organization prohibits AI assistance during interviews or meetings
