AI Interview Assistant Guides

Every guide to choosing, setting up and practicing with an AI interview assistant, grouped so you can find yours fast.

This page collects every CoPilot Interview guide about using an AI interview assistant, grouped by role, situation, interview format, call app, setup, practice and cost. Each guide answers one specific question, so pick the group that matches your next interview and start there.

If you are new to the idea, read the free AI interview assistant overview first. It explains the free plan, the four modes (Candidate Mode, Mock Interview, Interviewer Mode and the Resume Builder) and how live help and practice fit together. For the live side, the real-time interview assistant page shows how captions and structured answers appear in about 2 seconds.

Follow the rules of the employer or assessment you're in — many people use it only to practice, which works on the free plan. Most of these guides lead with practice for that reason.

FAQ

What is an AI interview assistant?

An AI interview assistant is software that helps you prepare for and handle job interviews. CoPilot Interview is a desktop app for Windows and macOS: it shows live captions of the interviewer's question and a structured answer in about 2 seconds, and it runs AI mock interviews that score each spoken answer out of 10.

Is there a free AI interview assistant?

Yes. CoPilot Interview has a free plan with no signup and no credit card: 15 free minutes every day, sessions up to 15 minutes, the free AI models and all four modes, including Mock Interview and the Resume Builder.

What is the difference between a real-time interview assistant and a mock interview?

A real-time interview assistant listens to a live call and suggests an answer while the question is asked. A mock interview is practice: the AI asks the questions, listens to your spoken answer and scores it. Many people use only the mock interview, which works on the free plan.

Which guide should I read first?

Start with the free AI interview assistant page for an overview, then pick the guide for your role or interview format. If you are setting up for the first time, read the setup checklist and run a short test call.

Can I use an AI interview assistant in any interview?

Follow the rules of the employer or assessment you're in — many people use it only to practice, which works on the free plan.
