How it works

One session, read from both sides of the table.

  1. A candidate runs a voice interview for a real role.

  2. Every answer is scored on clarity, relevance, depth and confidence, then saved as evidence.

  3. The candidate chooses whether employers can find them.

  4. An employer reads the answers, then pays to see the name and say hello.

Result is missing. Say what changed, with a number.

You pick a round (HR, behavioural, technical, campus placement or salary negotiation) and answer out loud. The AI scores each answer on that round's own scorecard, tracks your progress, and shows the exact sentence to fix.

Yes. Your first 2 sessions are free and no card is needed.

Discovery is on by default, with your identity masked. Employers can search by role and scores and see a code, never your name, phone or email. Switch it off in Settings and you vanish from search.

We do not store it. Your voice goes to speech-to-text providers (Deepgram in the US, Sarvam in India) to be turned into text, and they do not keep it. We save only the written transcript.

Yes. Delete your account in Settings. Your profile disappears at once and your resume, answers and scores are permanently erased within 7 days.

Ready when you are

Start with one answer.

Practise out loud, see exactly what to fix, and let employers find the proof.
