Common Questions

Does Ghostly AI have a desktop app, like Chiku AI?

Yes — Ghostly AI is a native Windows desktop app (Electron-based), downloadable directly from GitHub releases. No browser extension, no in-browser tab to keep open during your call.

What are Ghostly AI's keyboard shortcuts?

Every action — next question, screen capture, stealth toggle — is mapped to a system-wide hotkey. See the full shortcuts list.

Do I need to log in to use Ghostly AI?

Google login is used only to sync your BYOK API keys and interview history across sessions — there's no paywall behind it, unlike subscription tools where login gates every feature until you pay.

Who actually built Ghostly AI?

Mahesh Shelke, a Cloud & DevOps Engineer from Pune — his LinkedIn and GitHub are public. Read the full story of why it's free instead of a paid product like Chiku AI or Parakeet AI.
