AI mock interviews
Practice answering a real interview question out loud with an AI interviewer on your phone or on the web, then get a scored evaluation.
In an AI mock interview, an AI interviewer asks you a question out loud, you answer as you would in a real interview, and Interview Pilot scores your answer. Mock interviews run in the iPhone and Android apps and on the web.
| Where | What you need |
|---|---|
| iPhone and Android | Available on Free and Pro. On Free, each mock interview uses one of your weekly Copilot answers. |
| Web | Pro, and an Interview Pilot account. |
With Free on a phone, you can see how many answers you have left in the Profile tab under Usage. Learn about weekly limits. Mock interviews aren’t available in the Mac and Windows apps, but your practice sessions appear in their History.

Where your results are saved
Each completed mock interview is saved as a practice session in History, with its evaluation and transcript.
- iPhone and Android: open the History tab. The recording of your answer stays on that phone.
- Web: go to History and choose the Practice tab. Mock interviews you do on the web keep their recording, so you can play it back on the web and in the Mac and Windows apps.
When you’re signed in, practice sessions sync to your other devices. A session you leave before it ends isn’t saved. Understand your evaluation.
