GhostDesk

Real-time AI overlay for meetings & invisible to screenshare

Website ghost-desk.app
Overview

What it is

GhostDesk is a free AI overlay assistant for Windows that floats above any app and stays invisible during screen shares, Zoom calls, and recordings. No tab switching, no distraction — powered by Llama and GPT-4.1.

Intent

I need it when

Prepare for technical interviews by reviewing concepts without tab-switching

GhostDesk stays visible only to the user during screen shares, allowing interview candidates to reference AI-generated explanations of system design, algorithms, and concepts while their interviewer sees only the coding surface. The overlay remains private and does not distract from the active coding window.

Take private notes during video calls without viewers seeing the overlay

GhostDesk floats as an always-on-top AI overlay that is automatically excluded from screen captures on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and 10+ other platforms via Windows DWM API. Users can ask questions and take notes while the shared screen remains clean, enabling legitimate note-taking without distraction or context switching.

Get instant coding help and technical explanations while working

GhostDesk provides built-in AI chat with DeepSeek V3, DeepSeek R1 (reasoning), and fallback models. Users can ask coding questions, get explanations, and receive code suggestions via voice or text without leaving their IDE or active application. Voice input and OCR features enable hands-free interaction.

Stream or record content while running live AI assistance off-camera

Content creators can use GhostDesk to ask questions, get real-time suggestions, or reference notes during live streams or recordings. The overlay is automatically excluded from capture, keeping the audience-facing output professional while the creator has private AI support.

Export session transcripts and AI-generated summaries for later review

Paid plans include one-click PDF export of session intelligence reports containing full Q&A transcripts, AI-generated summaries, key concepts extracted, and code blocks in clean formatting. Users can save and review their entire session history with timestamps.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires macOS or Linux support; GhostDesk is Windows-only (Windows 10 build 19041+ or Windows 11)
  • User needs on-premise or self-hosted AI models; GhostDesk relies on third-party AI providers (DeepSeek, Deepgram, Llama Scout)
  • User operates on systems with less than 4 GB RAM or older Windows builds; minimum requirements are Windows 10 build 19041+, 4 GB RAM
  • User intends to use GhostDesk during exams, proctored assessments, or interviews where external AI assistance is prohibited; terms explicitly disclaim liability for such misuse
  • User requires persistent cloud storage of conversations; all data is stored locally on the machine only
