Launched ~March 2026 on the free-and-local-vs-$149/mo-competitors wedge and still accelerating at capture ($101 → $13.5k monthly revenue in five months, +10.5% MRR/30d) — the only one in its cohort still growing. Sequence: free GitHub app first, then a bilingual (EN/RU) programmatic SEO buildout, with mass-reach X amplification along the way. Founder identity is undisclosed (hidden GitHub org members), and the "undetectable interview assistance" positioning carries obvious reputational baggage — noted here deliberately.
The distribution centerpiece is a source-available repo (free for personal use, BYOK) whose very name and description are SEO-loaded — "best alternative to Cluely, Otter, Granola, Final Round AI, Fireflies, Interview Coder" — converting to a paid Pro tier (memory, resume context) sold yearly or lifetime.
190 sitemap URLs fully mirrored in Russian (83 /ru pages): 63 posts, competitor-alternative pages (cluely-alternative, natively-vs-otter) and programmatic interview-question/system-design pages — seeded but not yet ranking-powered at DR 3.
Amplified by a mass-reach X account in Mario Nawfal's network ("free, local AI interview copilot… competitors charge up to $149/month… 9,000 users" — user figure unverified, paid-or-organic unknown), with a Telegram community and an unusual $NAT-token hook where holding tokens can unlock Pro.
