Hey all,

I built Interview-Guru, an AI-powered mock interview tool that helps you practice crafting a story, organizing your thoughts, and improving with feedback and examples — all through real-time voice conversations.

Having always struggling with the behavioral portion of the interview, I have found that most new AI tools were either push-to-talk or purely text-based, which adds too much friction to realistic practice. I wanted something that feels like you're talking to a real interviewer — natural, responsive, and pressure-tested.

Interview-Guru covers a wide range of behavioral and situational questions across different industries and roles. It listens, analyzes, and gives actionable suggestions on how to strengthen your responses.

So I have been working on this side-project for awhile, but only felt possible recently with how far stt, tts, and LLMs have come.

You can try it out at interview-guru.io/playground. Working on new features/bug fixes and would love any suggestions or feedback in the comments.

Thanks!

I’m an absolute rookie, and know nothing about coding, but I’m using AI to assist me and I’m building an app, and currently using my actual iPhone that I use for personal/work purposes as my simulation device as well.

Should I actually use a completely blank iPhone for this instead?

Also, should I use a more updated version of the iPhone? I have old iPhones from years gone by floating around my house that are currently blank but some of them are so old they could probably go in a museum.

Alternatively? Should I just run a simulator on my actual computer (the challenge being that I’m actually using a laptop and I already have a limited amount of space on my screen.)

I’m not trying to develop a polished product at this stage. What I’m trying to develop is a reasonably well functioning prototype so I can pitch my idea to possible investors, and the secure the money I need to pay an actual developer to do it properly - but I still want my MVP to be pretty good because I want my actual pitch and presentation to be flawless. I’m doing it on my own because I don’t want to share my idea with others because I don’t trust people.
