### Sova: Overview <a href="#ghost-overview" id="ghost-overview"></a>

Welcome to Sova, your free AI partner designed to help you excel in technical interview preparation.

#### The Mission <a href="#the-mission" id="the-mission"></a>

Sova was created with a simple goal: **to level the playing field** in technical interview preparation. Traditional technical interviews can be challenging, and access to advanced preparation tools shouldn't be limited by cost. Sova provides powerful AI assistance, completely free, empowering every candidate to prepare effectively. It emerged as a fork, driven by the belief that interview practices need to evolve, and preparation tools should be accessible to all.

#### Why Choose Sova? <a href="#why-choose-ghost" id="why-choose-ghost"></a>

Sova offers a unique combination of features focused on effective and private preparation:

* ✨ **Completely Free:** No subscriptions, no hidden fees. You only cover the cost of your personal AI provider API key usage (OpenAI or Google Gemini).
* 🔒 **Privacy First:** Your API keys, screenshots, and data stay on your local machine. Sova communicates directly with the AI provider (OpenAI/Gemini) only when processing problems, ensuring your information remains private.
* 🤖 **AI-Powered Assistance:** Leverage cutting-edge models (like GPT-4o or Gemini) to automatically extract coding problems from screenshots, generate optimized solutions with time/space complexity analysis, and even get AI-powered debugging help.
* 🎨 **Flexible & Discreet Interface:** A minimal, adjustable window (move, resize, change opacity) designed for focused practice sessions. It's built to remain hidden from many common screen-sharing applications during *practice*.
* 🔧 **Customizable & Extensible:** Choose between different AI models for various tasks and, thanks to its open-source nature (AGPL-3.0 License), you can explore, modify, and even integrate other LLMs.
* 🚀 **Fair Alternative:** Get features comparable to premium, paid tools without the hefty price tag.
