AI Interview Preparation Portal
An AI-powered platform for realistic interview practice and feedback.
Project Story
The idea for this project came from my own experiences with interview preparation. I realized that it's often difficult to get quality practice and feedback, especially for technical roles. I wanted to create a tool that could simulate a variety of interview scenarios and provide personalized feedback to help users improve their skills and confidence. By leveraging a powerful generative AI, the platform can ask relevant questions, evaluate responses, and provide constructive criticism, making interview preparation more effective and engaging.
Problem Solved
Provides a scalable and accessible way for job seekers to practice for interviews by simulating a real interview experience with an AI, which offers instant feedback and suggestions for improvement.
