FOR BEHAVIORAL ROUNDS
AI for behavioral interviews — live STAR answers as they ask
Behavioral rounds are the hardest to prep for because you don't know which stories they'll dig into. Interview Helpers listens to the interviewer through your system audio, transcribes their question in real time, and drafts a structured Situation / Task / Action / Result answer the moment they stop talking — all from a stealth overlay hidden from screen share.
Live interviewer transcription
Streams system audio into Deepgram Nova-3. Interim results in ~200 ms, final result the moment they stop talking. You never miss the question.
STAR-format answer draft
Toggle speaker mode off and the transcript is fed to the AI, which returns a Situation / Task / Action / Result answer tailored to what the interviewer just asked.
Follow-ups without a re-ask
"Tell me more about the conflict with the PM" — the AI remembers the transcript and drafts a matching follow-up story on the same theme.
Custom instruction per interview
Set a "You are answering as a Senior L5 SWE with 8 years experience, mostly at startups" system prompt in Settings so answers stay in-role.
Stealth from screen share
Hidden from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams — hidden from the Windows taskbar. Behavioral interviewers often screen-share their notes; you stay invisible.
Bring your own key
Route premium Claude Opus 5 or GPT-5.6 Sol calls to your own OpenAI / Anthropic account for unlimited answers on your bill.
Behavioral flow, step by step
- Toggle speaker mode (Ctrl+Shift+A by default). A green "LISTENING" badge appears. Interim transcription starts within ~200 ms.
- Let the interviewer finish the question. Watch the transcript build in the overlay so you know exactly what they said.
- Toggle speaker mode off. The final transcript is sent to the AI with a STAR-format system prompt (customizable in Settings). A structured answer streams in seconds.
- Read the Situation and Task out loud first to give yourself thinking time. By the time you get to Action and Result, the full answer is on screen.
- Toggle speaker mode back on for the follow-up question. Session memory persists, so the AI knows what story you already told and won't repeat it.
