Tutorial: your first session

About ten minutes end to end, most of it spent once. Do it on a practice round before you do it on a real one.

Before you start

1. Create an account, then download and install the app.
2. Have your resume as a PDF or DOCX, and the job description as a file or text you can paste.
3. Decide how you'll capture audio — see the next section, because this is the part people get wrong.

Step 1 · Choose your audio source

In Settings → Audio you pick what the app listens to:

• Microphone

  Your own voice and whatever your mic picks up from the room. Best for in-person rounds and for practice.

• System audio

  The other side of a video call. The Windows app captures audio playing through your default output device. In a browser preview, choose a supported screen or tab and enable Share audio.

• Both

  Microphone plus system audio, so the transcript has both halves of the conversation.

If the transcript stays empty, check that your call is playing through the default Windows output device. In a browser preview, enable Share audio in the sharing dialog. Try a practice session before your call.

Step 2 · Give it your context

1. On the setup screen, choose Upload File and add your resume (PDF or DOCX).
2. Upload the job description the same way, or paste it into the job description box.
3. Fill in Organization and Position — e.g. Cognizant, Software Engineer. Answers name your actual experience once these are set.

Skipping this step is the single biggest cause of generic answers. The model can only talk about your projects if it has them.

Step 3 · Set the round

• Scenario

  General purpose, behavioral, technical, coding, professional meeting or online assessment. This changes how answers are shaped.

• Language

  English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese — or multilingual, which follows each question.

• Answer length

  Concise for HR screens, default for most rounds, detailed for system design and deep technical questions.

• Auto-skip

  Leave it on and the app stays quiet through greetings and small talk, drafting only when a real question lands.

• Model

  Pick from several providers in the model picker. Faster models keep up with conversation; larger ones reason better on hard questions.

• Custom prompt

  On the Custom Prompt tab, add standing instructions — "keep answers under 60 seconds", "use STAR format", "mention my fintech work".

Step 4 · Save it as a preset

Name the setup in the box at the top of the setup screen and it's stored. Next round at the same company, search the preset and everything — organization, position, job description, custom prompt — comes back. Build one per company you're interviewing with.

Step 5 · Run the session

1. Press Start. The live feed fills with the transcript as people speak.
2. Drafts appear under each question it decides to answer. Read, don't recite — the point is to anchor your own answer, not read aloud.
3. Type into the question box any time to ask something directly.
4. Pause when you need to, and end the session when the round is over.

Shortcuts and screen context

• Ctrl + Shift + Space

  Show or hide the window.

• F2

  Jump to the question box.

• Ctrl + Shift + Enter

  Answer the latest question.

• Ctrl + Shift + H

  Screenshot to answer — for a question on screen rather than spoken.

• Ctrl + Shift + P

  Pause or resume listening.

• Ctrl + Shift + 1 / 2

  End the session, or start a new one.

Step 6 · Review afterwards

Every session is saved in History on your own machine and exports as JSON. This is the part people skip and shouldn't: read back the questions you stumbled on, write your own better answer, and put it in the custom prompt for next time. Three rounds of that and you need the drafts less.

Practising before it counts

Open a company question bank, read a question aloud with the app listening on microphone, and answer it. You get the transcript, a draft to compare against, and a record of how you actually sounded — all without a real interview on the line.

Using it responsibly

Record audio and use AI assistance with the participants' permission and according to the rules of the interview or meeting you're in. Many employers and assessment providers prohibit assistance during a live round — check before you join, because that's on you, not on the tool.
