What is Hintedly?

Hintedly is a Mac and Windows overlay app that listens to your calls, reads your screen and suggests answers only you can see, then writes notes, action items and follow-up emails after the meeting ends.

Hintedly is a desktop assistant that sits on top of a live call and suggests what to say while the conversation is still moving. It runs as a transparent overlay next to Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or any other meeting software, so nothing has to be installed inside the call tool itself. The overlay can be dragged, resized from its edges, and extended with custom action buttons that carry preset prompts, which lets a user keep a different answer style ready for an interview, a sales call or a status update. The product targets people who need to respond well under pressure: job candidates facing behavioral or technical questions, sales reps working through discovery and objections, and managers or executives who want concise, direct replies in team meetings. Its list of supported tools includes coding assessment and hiring platforms such as HireVue, CoderPad, HackerRank and LeetCode. To produce an answer, it reads the screen, listens through both microphone and speaker audio, can draw on files stored on the computer, and can search the web. Users choose among models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, trading off speed, instruction-following and tone. Privacy is the central selling point. The overlay is excluded from screen capture, it does not join the meeting as a bot, and no participant list entry appears. The vendor is candid about limits: Zoom needs its capture mode switched to window filtering, and reflective glasses can still show screen content on a webcam. After the meeting, the app produces structured notes, action items with owners, a drafted follow-up email and a searchable history of past calls. Compared with note-taking bots that announce themselves in the participant list, Hintedly is aimed at live, in-the-moment coaching rather than transcripts alone. It is available as native apps for Windows and for macOS on both Apple Silicon and Intel, with a free trial and a license code for continued use. Anyone considering it should weigh the etiquette and policy questions around undisclosed assistance in interviews.

How do you use Hintedly?

  1. 1Download the installer

  3. 3Adjust Zoom screen sharing
    If you use Zoom, go to Settings, Share Screen, Advanced and set the capture mode to Capture with window filtering so the overlay stays off the shared view.
  4. 4Join your meeting and place the overlay
    Run Hintedly next to your call tool, then drag and resize the transparent overlay to a spot where you can glance at it comfortably.
  5. 5Set up custom action buttons and a model
    Create buttons with preset prompts for each situation and choose an Anthropic, OpenAI or Google model that suits how you like answers delivered.
  6. 6Review notes after the call
    When the meeting ends, read the generated notes, assign action items and send the drafted follow-up email. Past calls stay searchable in the history.
