Key Features

• Real questions from the web — searches job boards and candidate communities for actual questions reported by people who interviewed at your target company, before writing a single answer
• Answers in your voice — prep is written as spoken words grounded in your actual projects and experience, not generic templates
• Multi-round awareness — paste your notes after each round and the next prep builds on what came before, so every round feeds the next

Recommendation: avoid pasting sensitive personal information beyond what is already on your resume (e.g., SSN, passport numbers, or private medical details).
