Interview Yen listens to your interview in real time, detects questions as they happen, and delivers structured guidance instantly. Coding problems get step-by-step solutions. Behavioral questions get live STAR coaching. System design gets architecture breakdowns. All automatic.
Interview Yen automatically classifies what's being asked — coding, behavioral, system design, conceptual, or follow-up — and adapts its response format in real time. No manual mode switching. Just start recording and let the AI handle the rest.
Whisper AI transcribes speech in real time while our intent classifier analyzes every sentence. When a new question is detected — from a subtle topic shift to a direct coding prompt — the copilot triggers analysis instantly, without waiting for you to press anything.
Answers stream to your screen in real time via server-sent events — no waiting for a full response. Coding problems get working solutions with complexity analysis. System design questions get component breakdowns with trade-offs. Every response is structured, concise, and ready to use.
When a behavioral question is detected, Interview Yen activates a real-time STAR coach. It tracks which sections you've covered (Situation, Task, Action, Result), shows a live timer, and nudges you if you're spending too long on one section or missing key elements like measurable results.
Three steps. Zero setup complexity.
Open the app and tap Start. Interview Yen captures audio continuously, chunks it into optimized segments using voice activity detection, and sends each chunk for transcription. You see words appear on screen in real time.
As the transcript builds, the copilot detects questions automatically — coding problems, behavioral scenarios, system design prompts, and more. Answers stream to your screen instantly with structured guidance, working code, and STAR coaching.
Every analysis is saved as a timestamped note. Scroll through your session to review detected questions, AI responses, and coaching feedback. Export the full transcript and notes to review later or prepare for your next interview.
Built by engineers who've been through hundreds of technical interviews. Interview Yen uses a buffered-segment upload pattern for gap-free audio capture, smart trigger logic that fires analysis on question detection rather than fixed timers, and streaming responses so you see guidance the moment it's generated. It supports coding, behavioral, system design, conceptual, and follow-up question types out of the box.
Interview Yen is built in partnership with InterviewZen, a leading proctoring and monitoring platform for technical interviews. We build the most capable interview copilot on the market specifically to stress-test and push the boundaries of what proctoring systems should be able to detect. By building both the sword and the shield, we ensure that interview integrity tools stay ahead of the curve — and candidates get the best preparation tools available.
Interview Yen is a real-time AI copilot for technical interviews. It listens to your interview, transcribes questions using Whisper AI, automatically classifies them across six intent types (coding, behavioral, system design, conceptual, follow-up, general), and delivers structured guidance streamed live to your screen.
Tap Start and place your device nearby. The app captures audio continuously, chunks it into 8-20 second segments using voice activity detection, and sends each chunk for real-time transcription. As the transcript builds, our intent classifier detects questions and triggers AI analysis automatically. Responses stream to your screen as they're generated.
Interview Yen supports six question types automatically: coding problems (step-by-step solutions with working code), behavioral questions (live STAR coaching), system design (architecture breakdowns with trade-offs), conceptual questions (clear explanations), follow-up questions (context-aware responses), and general discussion.
No. The intent classifier analyzes the transcript in real time and determines the question type automatically. You can optionally set a preferred mode in settings, but the default automatic detection works for the vast majority of interviews.
Interview Yen is available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. It's built with Flutter for a consistent experience across platforms.
Recording works offline, but real-time transcription and AI analysis require an internet connection to communicate with the Whisper and Qwen AI servers.
