Quickstart
From a fresh install to a live session. Budget about five minutes the first time, and under a minute for every interview after that.
Five steps
- 1
Sign in and check permissions
Open the app and sign in. Visit Settings → Permissions and confirm microphone and screen capture are green before you rely on them in a real interview. - 2
Build an interview setup
Choose Live copilot or Mock interview, then the role, job description, resume, and interview types. Models come from Settings → General, not the setup form. A short walkthrough starts once on a new install after first sign-in; replay it anytime from Settings → Profile. Full walkthrough → - 3
Open from the hub, start from the workspace
The hub is the small pill docked to the right edge of your screen. Click it to open the workspace, then press Start interview. The overlay opens beside your meeting window and transcription begins. - 4
Switch interview types
Use ⌘1 for behavioral, ⌘2 when a coding pad appears, and ⌘3 when the conversation turns to architecture. Snip anything on screen with ⌘⌥G. - 5
End the session
Click End interview in the workspace. The session is saved to your history so you can review it or replay the setup for the next round.
Do a dry run first
Before an interview that matters, spend two minutes on a rehearsal. Start a meeting with yourself in whichever app the interviewer will use, share your screen, and check three things:
- The overlay is absent from the shared view.
- Transcription is picking up audio from the other side of the call.
- A test snip with ⌘⌥G reaches the assistant and comes back.
Save the setup
Once a setup works, save it. For a multi-round loop at the same company you can reuse it for every stage instead of rebuilding it each time.
