Live simulation — what a session looks likenot a video — real DOM, running live

Simulated Grill session with live transcription, flagged fillers, measured delivery and an adaptive follow-up. A front-end behavioral round, question four of eight. The interviewer asks: “Tell me about a project where you missed the deadline. What slipped?” The answer comes back word by word — “So basically we underestimated the migration, um and the review cycle took longer because, like coordination between the two teams…” — with three fillers flagged where they were said: basically, um, like. Delivery, measured from the audio: 162 words per minute, longest pause 1.4 seconds, 3 fillers, 24.1 hertz of pitch variation. The session then asks its follow-up: “You said ‘we’ — what did you own, and when did you know the estimate was wrong?”

01Adaptiveno fixed script

No script.
It listens.

There is no fixed question list. Every answer decides what gets asked next — and the vaguer the answer, the harder the next question. This is the mechanic, not a feature bullet.

06Objectionshandled here, not on the day

Is it actually free?

Free to start — eight questions, no card. Bring a job description and fifteen minutes; that’s the whole price of finding out.

Will it judge my tone from my words?

Never — this is the house rule. Pace and pauses come from word-level timings. Pitch and energy are read from the raw audio signal. If tonality can’t be measured, it is reported as missing — not guessed from the transcript.

What happens to my recordings?

They’re yours, scoped to your account — every session and report query is tied to your user id. Videos carry a visible expiry date, and audio is fetched on demand only when you press play.

Do I need a camera?

No. Answer by voice or text — the camera is optional, synced per question, and exists for one reason: watching yourself back is the fastest coach there is.

Will a rerun repeat the same questions?

Not unless you ask it to. Every question you’ve already faced becomes a do-not-reuse list — the same résumé never produces the same interview twice.
