Cracking the Code: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Ghost's Undetectable Technology

In the high-stakes world of online exams and remote certifications, the pressure is on. Proctoring software looms, ready to flag any deviation from the norm. But what if you could access the information you need, discreetly and without detection? That's where Ghost comes in. We're pulling back the curtain to reveal the technology that makes Ghost the ultimate undetectable AI assistant.

Stealth by Design: How Ghost Stays Invisible

Ghost isn't just an AI; it's an exercise in digital stealth. Our core value is ensuring your activities remain private, and that starts with being invisible to prying eyes. Here's the magic behind our undetectable overlay:

  • Windows API Command: Ghost leverages a specific command within the Windows operating system. This command instructs Windows not to include the Ghost overlay in any screen captures or recordings. Think of it as a digital invisibility cloak, specifically designed to work on cameras and screen recording tools.

  • Proctoring Software? No Problem: This command effectively renders the Ghost overlay invisible to all major proctoring software, including:

    • ProctorU
    • Respondus
    • Examplify
    • Proctorio
    • Honorlock
    • ...and more.

  • Independent Verification: Don't just take our word for it. You can easily verify Ghost's invisibility yourself. Use a second computer or ask a friend to observe while you're running Ghost. They won't see the overlay.

More Than Just Stealth: Speed and Intelligence

Stealth is paramount, but Ghost is more than just an invisibility cloak. We've engineered it for speed and intelligence to give you a genuine edge:

  • Hotkeys for Hyper-Efficiency: Forget fumbling with your mouse or switching windows. Ghost operates entirely through customizable keyboard hotkeys. Capture questions and display answers in seconds, all without raising suspicion. These hotkeys are your secret commands, and with a little practice, they will feel like second nature.
  • AI Enhanced by Your Knowledge: Ghost boasts a powerful general knowledge base, but its true strength lies in its ability to learn from your materials. Upload your notes and textbooks to create a personalized AI brain tailored to your specific exam. This ensures highly relevant and accurate answers, drawing directly from the sources you trust.

Ghost in Action: A Step-by-Step Guide

Using Ghost is straightforward. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Create a Project: In your Ghost Dashboard, create a new project (e.g., "History Final" or "Calculus Midterm").
  2. Define Your AI: Tell the AI how to respond. For instance: "You are a math genius. Give me the direct answer. No long explanations."
  3. Upload Your Notes: Upload your class notes and textbooks (PDFs). This step is crucial for maximizing accuracy and relevance.
  4. Grab Your Project ID: Copy the unique Project ID.
  5. Launch the Desktop App: Open the Ghost desktop app on your Windows computer, paste your Project ID, and log in.
  6. Master the Hotkeys: Familiarize yourself with the hotkeys for capturing questions (e.g., Alt+C), toggling visibility (e.g., Alt+H), and scrolling (e.g., Alt+Up/Down).
  7. During the Exam: When a question appears, press your capture hotkey. The answer will appear in the discreet overlay. Use the toggle visibility hotkey to hide or show the answer as needed.
