The premise
AI can role-play a hiring manager indefinitely, ask follow-up questions, and critique your STAR-format answers, giving you reps that would otherwise require a willing human partner.
What AI does well here
- Generating realistic behavioral questions for a specific role and seniority
- Pressing for specifics when your answer is vague or generic
- Identifying when you skipped the Result step of a STAR answer
- Suggesting tighter phrasings of your stories
What AI cannot do
- Replicate the social pressure and adrenaline of a real interview
- Know what a particular interviewer at a particular company actually values
- Read your body language, eye contact, or vocal tone
