Interviewer Helper

Free for Mac · Apple silicon

Hears the question.Drafts the answer in under a second.

A small panel for your Mac that listens to a practice interview or a call, writes the question down as it’s said, and suggests what to say, built from your own profile. In English or Spanish, on your own free Groq API key.

A real recording from 11 October 2026: the app on a Mac, with the interviewer’s questions played through the speakers. The answers come from a sample profile (a made-up student), not mine.

The 52-second film.

It has sound. The interviewer’s voice is the one the app heard, and nothing in the panel is sped up between question and answer.

What happens after the question.

Four steps, and most of them run while the other person is still talking.

  1. Words appear live

    Apple’s dictation, running on the Mac, writes the words down while they’re being said.

  2. The sentence gets cleaned up

    After 450 ms of silence, Whisper on Groq rewrites the whole sentence properly in about 0.4 s.

  3. Only questions go on

    A small filter on the Mac skips sentences that aren’t questions (42% of them in testing), so “can you hear me?” never gets an essay.

  4. The answer is drafted

    One bold sentence you can say out loud, then two to four short points. Under 90 words, from Groq’s gpt-oss-120b.

From the end of the question

Measured by the app’s own practice log.

0.25 sto spot the question
+0.41 sto the first word of the answer
0.66 sin total (median of the rounds)

3 practice rounds: 0.65 s, 0.66 s and 0.88 s. That’s a small sample, and a slow connection adds time.

Small, and on your side.

The panel answering a question about teamwork with a story from the profile

Your profile, nothing made up

You write your studies, experience and real stories in one text file. Questions about you use only those facts. If one is missing, it writes “[your example: …]” instead of inventing it.

The panel answering a question in Spanish

English or Spanish

It answers in the language of the question, so you can switch mid-call. Opinion and general questions get a general answer, without dragging your CV in.

The Mac asks out loud

“Walk me through a DCF.”

Practice mode

The Mac reads one of 19 interview questions out loud, in English or Spanish. The app answers, and every round is timed and logged.

You see each step

The panel says what it’s doing at every moment, so you always know if it heard you.

Use it where help is welcome.

I built it to rehearse interviews out loud and to keep up in calls, especially in a second language. It works like notes on your own screen.

If an interview, a test or an exam doesn’t allow outside help, don’t use it there. It’s meant to make you better prepared, not to answer for you.
