Update: Ghostly AI has since moved on to v3.3.5 with more real-world bug fixes — see what's new in v3.3.5. This page covers the original v3.3.4 performance update below, and the download link always gives you the latest free version.
What's New in Version 3.3.4
Ghostly AI v3.3.4 is a major performance, reliability, and UX update focused on sub-second AI speed, zero UI freezes, intelligent audio silence detection, and 100% real API verification.
⚡ Performance & Speed Optimizations
800px HTML5 Canvas Image Compression (3-5x Faster Screen Analysis): Full-resolution 4K/1080p screenshots are automatically downscaled to 800px width at 70% JPEG quality before being sent to Vision AI APIs. This reduces payload size from roughly 4MB down to ~40KB, delivering answers in under 1 second.
50ms Streaming State Throttle (Zero App Freeze): React state updates during high-speed AI streaming (Groq at ~500 tokens/sec) are now throttled to a steady 20 FPS (every 50ms). This reduces CPU load by 95%, keeping the app 100% responsive for mouse clicks, window drag, and hotkeys.
100% Real End-to-End API Key Verification: Dummy ping checks in the API Setup page have been replaced with real live endpoint tests for Deepgram (Nova-2), Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, and NVIDIA.
🎙️ Live Audio & Smart Silence Features
Auto QA History Pages (Zero Data Loss): When a new question is detected in live mode, the previous Q&A is automatically saved to history pages (Q1, Q2, Q3...). Answers are never overwritten or lost.
Short-Filler Interjection Filter: Phrases shorter than 4 words (like "yeah", "okay", "right", "got it") without a question mark are automatically ignored, preventing background filler noise from cluttering the screen.
Natural Silence Pacing (2.2s Delay): The default silence detection is now 2.2 seconds for realistic interview flow, with an instant 800ms trigger when a question mark is detected.
Real-Time Tech Keyword Highlighting: Technical terms (Array, PostgreSQL, React, Python, O(n), System Design, Database, API, and more) are automatically highlighted in gold pills in the live transcript ticker as the interviewer speaks.
🛡️ Windows Stealth & DWM Stability
Win32 DWM Compositor Stealth Guard: A 3-second debounce guard on the Windows display-affinity API prevents compositor buffer invalidation during rapid window show/focus events — the app never flickers visible during a screen share.
✨ Animated Update UI
Floating Glassmorphic Update Banner: Update notifications now enter with spring physics, a rotating neon conic gradient ring, a moving light shimmer progress beam, and hover-glowing action buttons.
