I’d start by clarifying the scale and the consistency requirements, because those two decisions shape the rest of the design.

What you need
Pair Companion runs on the Claude Code or Codex account you already have.
It signs in through those tools' own local login, never through model API keys, so there is no AI usage bill from Pair Companion and no extra AI cost for you. In return, an active Claude Code (Anthropic) or Codex (OpenAI/ChatGPT) subscription is required: without one of them installed and signed in on your computer, Pair Companion cannot generate answers. The Pair Companion subscription only covers the app itself.
We never touch your account
Pair Companion has no access to your Claude or OpenAI account and never asks for passwords, tokens or API keys. It simply uses the Claude Code or Codex tool you already installed and signed in to on your computer: your context goes to that tool, the answer comes back, and nothing passes through our servers.
One context, multiple signals
Your screen, the conversation, and your background — connected.
Pair Companion brings together the pieces that ordinary chat windows make you repeat.
Follows the conversation
Transcribe microphone and computer audio, retain the thread, and generate suggestions without treating every sentence as a new question.
Conversation memoryResponds in your voice
Add your experience, preferred HR answers, role context, and writing style so suggestions sound grounded instead of generic.
Personal contextStarts fast, finishes well
A fast model can produce a natural opening while a stronger model develops the full answer in the background.
Two-stage responseStays where you need it
A movable, resizable, click-through overlay with adjustable opacity keeps the answer readable without taking over your workspace.
Focused overlayUses the AI you already pay for
Pair Companion runs through the local login of Claude Code or Codex. It never calls model APIs with its own keys, does not resell tokens and adds no usage-based AI charge. One of those subscriptions is required.
Bring your subscriptionContext that compounds
Less repetition. Better answers over time.
Choose what Pair Companion should remember. Previous questions, your corrected answers, a role description, and the current company can all improve the next suggestion without becoming a permanent black box.
- Separate personal profile from role-specific context
- Review and remove saved memories
- Pause transcription or automatic suggestions at any time
- Keep screenshots temporary and local to the active analysis

The interviewer prioritized regional availability and gradual migration.
Android companion
Read and steer from a tablet, off the shared screen.
The Android app is a private remote for the desktop Pair Companion. Keep the overlay hidden or minimal on the computer you are sharing and follow the answers on a tablet beside you, over your local network.
Pair once
On the computer open Connect tablet… in the Pair Companion menu, then type the address, port and pairing code into the tablet app. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi; nothing goes through the internet.
Follow the answer
Responses stream to the tablet as they are generated. Move between answers with Previous and Next, read them one at a time or as a continuous thread, and scroll the desktop panel with the trackpad area.
Steer the session
Start or stop transcription and Auto AI, switch the session mode, ask for an answer now, send a typed instruction, or attach the screen with With screen. Show, hide, move or center the desktop overlay without touching the keyboard.
Nothing sensitive leaves the computer
Screenshots and your Claude Code or Codex login stay on the desktop. Only commands, progress and the answer text travel to the tablet, over an authenticated connection.

Frequently asked
The important questions, answered.
Does Pair Companion include an AI subscription?
No, and it does not need to: Pair Companion works through the Claude Code or Codex account you already have, using their own local login rather than model API keys. That is why there is no AI usage bill from us. It also means an active Claude Code (Anthropic) or Codex (OpenAI/ChatGPT) subscription is required; without one, Pair Companion cannot produce answers.
Will the overlay appear in screen sharing?
Pair Companion uses supported operating-system capture-exclusion APIs. Behavior can vary by operating system and conferencing app, so always validate your exact setup before relying on it.
Can I use it on more than one computer?
Each license is bound to one active computer. Device transfers are allowed through a controlled process to prevent continuous license sharing.
Where is my context stored?
Profiles, preferences, and session history are stored locally by the desktop app. Temporary screenshots are removed after analysis. See the Privacy Policy for the full data map.
Can I use it during a job interview?
You are responsible for following the interviewer's instructions, platform rules, and applicable policies. Pair Companion is also designed for preparation, mock interviews, take-home work, meetings, and general focused work.
