Overview
AiApply Interview Buddy is a desktop app that provides real-time AI coaching and live transcription to help job candidates answer interview questions. It runs on Windows and macOS and includes a discreet browser extension that can be hidden when sharing your screen. During live interviews, it offers real-time, on-screen coaching by suggesting answers based on your resume and the job description, and it provides live speech-to-text transcription so you can follow key points. You can feed the app your work experience and job description to tailor responses. The tool also offers stress/composure support by delivering concise replies to tricky questions. It is designed for browser-based video interviews (Chrome recommended) with cautions about joining Zoom via the desktop app. Setup is minimal, requiring only a small amount of profile and job info. The AIApply suite includes related tools like resume builder, cover letter generator, Auto-Apply, ATS scanner, resume translator, and mock-interview modes. Pricing includes a Free tier and a Premium (Pro) plan around $12/month, plus occasional promos. Privacy policy outlines data handling, model prompt minimization, and user rights.
