The tool reads coding problems from process memory, provides real-time solutions, debugging, and optimization directly inside platforms like HackerRank and LeetCode, and claims to be undetectable by proctoring software. The product targets job seekers willing to bypass interview integrity measures, raising significant ethical and legal concerns about the hiring process.", "body_md": "# Your Windows copilot for technical interviews.\n\nAceloop solves, debugs, optimizes, and explains coding problems in real time, with full context from the problem, your code, and every previous attempt.\n\n- No account or card\n- Windows 10 & 11\n\nUsers report passed rounds and offers at\n\n## System design, now a first-class citizen.\n\n“Design WhatsApp.” Aceloop reads the prompt off the whiteboard, opens with clarifying questions, then draws the architecture onto your canvas, with the tradeoffs, risks, and talking points behind every box.\n\n## Quiet, keyboard-first, one hotkey away.\n\nSits over the coding platform, reads the problem from process memory, and streams the answer back.\n\n## It finishes your thought, not just your line.\n\nInline completions as you type. Tab to accept, like Copilot, except it has already read the full problem and your code.\n\n## It lives in your editor, not a second window.\n\nGhost text renders inside the platform editor (HackerRank, CodeSignal, CoderPad, LeetCode), right where your cursor is. No second window, no alt-tab.\n\n## Bug spotted, fix shipped. Inline.\n\nHit Alt + 1 on a broken solution. Aceloop names the line, explains the failure, and ships a unified diff you can apply.\n\n## Brute force in. Optimal out.\n\nHit Alt + 2 on a slow solution. Aceloop finds the bottleneck, walks through the better strategy, and ships a unified diff that drops the complexity.\n\n## They Hide With a Flag.\n\nWe Hide From the GPU.\n\nReads your problem from process memory. Strips its overlay from the display pipeline before any capture path. Platform depth, not a flag.\n\n## Don't trust us. Try detecting us.\n\nSixty seconds, your browser, any competitor's free trial. Watch their solve hotkey land in the viewer. Then run the same test against us.\n\n### Open a keyboard event viewer\n\nPrints every keydown the browser sees. A neutral, open-source tool.\n\n[W3C key event viewer](https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html)### Or open ours, purpose-built\n\nThe same event stream as the W3C tool, with the exact solve-hotkey chords AI interview tools fire flagged for you.\n\n[Open our key viewer](/proctor/keys)### Launch any AI interview tool\n\nInterviewCoder, UltraCode, LockedIn. Pick any free trial and leave it running.\n\n### Press its solve hotkey\n\nIt lands in the viewer the instant you press it: every keystroke the page can read. A real proctor sees the same events.\n\n## Undetectable, Tested Daily,\n\non every Interview App\n\nReal-world checks against the newest proctor builds, every day.\n\n## Follow-ups, built into your hotkeys\n\nInterviewers ask follow-ups on the same problem. Every one is a hotkey, and each carries your prior solution forward.\n\n`Alt + Enter`\n\nFull solution from scratch. Pulls the problem statement from process memory and ships hints, approach, code, and complexity.\n\n`Alt + 1`\n\nFind and fix bugs. Identifies the root cause, provides corrected code, and summarizes what went wrong.\n\n`Alt + 2`\n\n\"Can you do better?\" -- Analyzes the current inefficiency, provides optimized code, and states the new time/space complexity.\n\n\"Can you adapt this?\" -- When the interviewer changes requirements. Explains what changed and provides the modified solution.\n\n\"What about edge cases?\" -- Identifies edge cases, checks handling status, and provides fixes where needed.\n\n\"Walk me through your solution.\" -- Step-by-step algorithm walkthrough and a concise interviewer-ready explanation.\n\n\"How would you test this?\" -- Generates comprehensive test cases with expected outputs covering basic, boundary, and edge scenarios.\n\n## New problems vs. follow-ups\n\nAceloop knows whether you're starting fresh or building on an existing solution and routes the prompt to match.\n\n### New Problem\n\nWhen you're on the \"New\" entry in the sidebar, submissions create a fresh problem with no prior context.\n\n- -- Bound today: Alt+Enter (Solve), Alt+1 (Debug), Alt+2 (Optimize)\n\n### Follow-Up\n\nWhen you've selected an existing problem, Alt+1 and Alt+2 append a follow-up section. The AI receives your full prior solution as context.\n\n- -- Bound today: Debug + Optimize follow-ups\n- -- Stack multiple on one problem\n\n## More capabilities\n\n`Alt + L`\n\n### Chat\n\nAsk follow-ups in plain English. Keep working the same problem without leaving the screen.\n\n`Settings`\n\n### Reasoning Mode\n\nAgent-style orchestration for the hardest rounds: plans, checks, and refines before it answers.\n\n`Alt + '`\n\n### Audio Solve\n\nListens to the interviewer and solves problems they speak out loud.\n\n`Alt + M`\n\n### Code Mode\n\nPulls the problem and code from process memory, then generates hints, approach, code, and complexity.\n\n`Alt + .`\n\n### Keyboard-Driven\n\nEvery feature has a hotkey. Press Alt+. in-app for the full reference.\n\n`Alt + H`\n\n### Ring-0 Reads\n\nReads the problem, code, and terminal straight from process memory at the kernel.
