## What it is
Cheetah is a macOS app that provides real-time AI coaching for software engineering interviews. It transcribes conversation audio locally with whisper.cpp and uses GPT-4 to generate hints, answers, and code analysis, with a Firefox extension for reading live coding platforms.

## Use cases
- practice for software engineering interviews with AI feedback
- get real-time hints during mock interviews
- transcribe interviewer questions live during a video call
- generate solutions to coding interview questions
- analyze code and logs from a live coding platform in the browser

## When to choose
- you want a native macOS app for AI-assisted mock interview practice
- you need local, real-time speech transcription via whisper.cpp on Apple silicon
- you want GPT-4-generated answers you can refine with follow-up constraints

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform or Windows/Linux tool
- you don't have an OpenAI API key or a recent Apple silicon Mac
- you want a polished, production-grade product rather than a mock-interview tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
