1. A new visitor to the page may not know what to expect. Is it just going to ask a set of predetermined questions, and record+transcribe the answers? Or will the questions themselves be customized?
2. What will the final output be? What, if anything, will be saved and retained by you?
3. The text boxes 'shake' a little when I'm typing. Probably some layout shift. I didn't look into it, but it happens to me on Chrome/Linux.
Also - when I click start, I don't hear anything. The timer on the right starts ticking and, even if I say something, the 'interview' ends after a few seconds. Perhaps it's broken due to rate limits or something?
1. Yeah definitely not clear what's going to happen when you click "start interview". I'll edit the description to be clear what you're getting.
2. Definitely need to be clear on what's saved/retained.
3. Totally missed that and now I can't unsee it. Something wonky going on w/ text area. Taking a look
This is a fascinating project, thank you for sharing! I agree with the previous comment that providing more context for new visitors about what to expect would be beneficial. I also share the same concerns about data retention, as it's crucial for user privacy.
Additionally, I noticed that you've used Vapi.ai and elevenlabs.io, both of which seem like powerful tools. I'm curious, how did you decide on using these two? Did they meet all your needs, or did you encounter any challenges during their use?
Lastly, I think the idea of a mock interview is excellent, as it can help applicants better prepare for YC interviews. I look forward to seeing further developments on this project!

Your post reminded me a bit of this, which uses different (but similar) tech: https://x.com/StonkyOli/status/1762551140829515964

Are there any reads on whether it’s worth at all to get in to YC these days?
