Real-Time Interview Assistance Explained

During the Technical Screen

In a live coding interview, real-time interview assistance serves as a navigational aid. When a problem statement is verbalized, the tool captures the requirements and constraints. It can then offer high-level algorithmic strategies (e.g., "Use a Hash Map for O(n) lookup") or edge cases to consider (e.g., "Handle empty arrays or null inputs"). It does not write the code for you, but it keeps you unblocked.

Behavioral & Culture Fit Rounds

For non-technical questions like "Tell me about a conflict you resolved", real-time assistance works by retrieving specific anecdotes from your experience that match the question's theme. It structures these anecdotes into the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result), allowing you to deliver a coherent story. To perfect this, we recommend regular AI interview practice.

The Role of the Copilot

The goal is cognitive offloading. Interviews are stressful, and stress reduces working memory. By outsourcing the retrieval of facts and structures to an AI assistant, candidates can focus on communication, rapport building, and problem-solving.
