The flow, end to end - 1 Add the role + your CV Paste a job title, the job description, and your CV. The AI reads all three. Got a CV? Run a CV review too — a match score and your weak lines rewritten. - 2 Get a tailored question HR, Behavioral (STAR), Technical or Motivation & Fit — generated for that exact role, and read aloud if you want. - 3 Answer out loud or by typing Speak and we transcribe it — edit before you submit — or just type. Like the real thing. - 4 Score + coaching in seconds A score out of 100, what worked, what to fix, and a stronger model answer. “Tell me about a time you managed conflicting priorities under a tight deadline.” “When two product launches landed in the same week, I…” What went well Clear STAR structure — you set the scene and owned your specific actions. What to improve Quantify the result. “Cut the delay by 3 days” beats “it worked out.” Suggested answer “I ranked both launches by revenue impact, aligned the leads in a 15-minute call, and shipped the higher-value one first — hitting the deadline with a 3-day buffer.” Example — you get feedback like this on every answer. Powered by Claude — Anthropic's frontier AI. ## Hi, I'm Ben Founder of InterviewPracticeAI I built this while helping my girlfriend prepare for her job interviews. We'd sit together, I'd play the interviewer, and she'd practice her answers out loud. It worked amazingly — but I couldn't always be there. So I thought: what if AI could be that practice partner? One that's always available, never judges, and gives genuinely useful feedback every time. That's how InterviewPracticeAI was born. It's a product I built from scratch and actively maintain — no big corporation, no investors, just a direct line between me and the people using it.

Honestly? It's a great tool. We use it ourselves. But for practising real interviews, ChatGPT falls short on three things. ### Tailored questions, not prompt engineering We generate questions from your actual CV and job description — weighted to the role, automatically. With ChatGPT, you're starting from a blank prompt. Most candidates don't know what a real interviewer will ask; we do. ### Voice answers and transcript review Speak your answer, read back the transcript, edit it, then submit for scoring. It's the closest thing to a real interview. ChatGPT's voice mode is conversational — there's no structured practice loop, no editable transcript, and no score at the end. ### A scoring rubric, not vibes Every answer gets a 0–100 score across relevance, structure, examples, and communication. You can see your average climb across sessions. ChatGPT gives feel-good prose that sounds the same on every answer. What ChatGPT does better Drafting your CV, writing cover letters, brainstorming questions, summarising notes. Use it for those — we don't try to. We do one thing: graded interview practice that feels like the real thing. FAQ ## Common questions Still have questions?
