Testimonials

What users say

"Dusky kept me calm and structured when the system design questions got deep. Having the transcript there meant I could actually think instead of panic."

S.P. — Backend Engineer

"The Think Deeper mode is incredible for architecture questions. It helped me articulate trade-offs I knew but couldn't quite put into words on the spot."

M.L. — Staff Engineer

"I used to freeze when asked unexpected questions. Now I feel like I have a quiet companion helping me stay conversational instead of robotic."

A.R. — Full-stack Engineer

Dusky works with any video conferencing platform: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and more. It runs as a separate desktop app alongside your meeting.
