AI research before the interview

2,345 users

AI gathers your
interview resources. For under $0.50.

Paste a company name. The agent researches the live web for its stack, culture, and real interview reports, then gathers the questions you're most likely to face, each backed by evidence.

$1.49 gets 100 credits, enough for about two typical reports.

How it works

From company name to evidence-backed questions

Four steps, one AI agent, about three minutes.

01 · Target

Name your target

Type the company you're interviewing with; that's all we really need. Add an interviewer to factor in their public talks and writing, then pick the rounds you care about: coding, system design, behavioral, or the whole loop.

Target

The company and role you are interviewing for, helps find relevant questions.

01

It plans before it searches

The agent resolves the company's real domain and drafts a set of targeted queries, each with a stated purpose, before a single search runs.

It reads the live web

Real-time search across engineering blogs, job posts, and first-hand candidate reviews, then it pulls the full pages that matter, never a stale cache.

It researches only what you pick

Choose your rounds and report sections; the agent skips everything you switched off, enforced in code, so you never pay for evidence you didn't ask for.

Each question ships with a confidence level and links to the exact source it came from. No black box; verify any question yourself.

The honest comparison

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

A general chatbot can guess at interview questions. Here's what it can't do that we do.

Metered credits with a hard cap per run; pay only when you gather

Start small, keep the spend capped, and only top up if the research is useful.

Simple, transparent pricing

No plans, no subscription, just credits. Every feature is included in every pack. A report costs what it costs to research: typically about 46 credits, under $0.50, and never more than 260.

Goal

First-hand signals first

Bias

Interview evidence over fluff

Rule

No private or scraped data

No scraping restricted pages. We do not bypass logins, paywalls, robots controls, CAPTCHAs, or other access restrictions.

Evidence gate

Then we count what came back

A result only counts as evidence when it contains reliable, substantive content—not merely a title, thin snippet, or navigation blurb. Link-only resources never create claims, citations, summaries, or confidence. When evidence is thin, the agent broadens its search instead of pretending the report is complete.

Evidence threshold before shipping

Thin reports broaden instead of pretending they are complete.

No evidence citation, no confidence

If a question comes back without a citation to readable evidence, its confidence is forced to Low. A discovery link that must be opened manually never counts.

When there's no public data

How we research small, early-stage startups

Most people aren't interviewing at Google. When a company is twenty people with no Glassdoor page, the agent doesn't shrug and hand you an empty report — it changes what it goes looking for.

LeetCode DiscussNo threads
BlindNothing found

Public interview data is thin — researching founders, funding stage, and similar companies...

So it goes looking for four things instead

01

Founder background

Where the people who built it came from. A CTO who spent four years at Stripe carries Stripe's interview instincts into their own loop.

02

Funding stage & size

Seed and Series B interview nothing alike. Fourteen engineers run a different loop than four hundred.

03

Comparable companies

How similar-stage companies building similar things actually run their interviews.

04

Role norms

What a loop for your role and your stack typically looks like at a seed-to-Series-B startup.

Everything this second pass produces ships tagged Inferred and can never claim High confidence — capped in code after the model answers, not asked of it. You'll always know which questions came from someone who actually sat the interview, and which are a reasoned read of how this company probably runs one.

Transparency

Why trust the research?

The product shows what it found, labels what it inferred, and caps confidence when the evidence is thin.

Read before trust

The report tells you what is solid, what is inferred, and why.

Confidence is not decoration here. It is how the product separates direct evidence from thin signals and forces the cautious answer when the data does not deserve more.

Direct evidence

Source-linked questions stay inspectable.

Sparse data

Fallback paths are labeled, not hidden.

Confidence rules

No citation means no inflated certainty.

Direct evidence first

The agent starts with first-hand interview reports, engineering blogs, job descriptions, and public talks. Questions stay tied to source links so you can inspect the evidence yourself.

Sparse-data fallback

When public interview data is thin, the run broadens into founder background, company stage, comparable companies, and role norms for early-stage startups. That fallback is called out instead of hidden.

Enforced confidence rules

No citation means no high confidence. Inferred questions cannot be marked High, even if the model tries. Those limits are applied after generation, not left as polite instructions.

Selected under-the-hood details

What counts as evidence

A result only counts as evidence when it contains reliable, substantive content—not merely a title, thin snippet, or navigation blurb. Link-only resources never create claims, citations, summaries, or confidence. When evidence is thin, the agent broadens its search instead of pretending the report is complete.

What inferred means

Built from proxy signals rather than a first-hand account of interviewing here. An inferred question can never carry High confidence — see how we source questions above.

What happens for thin companies

Everything this second pass produces ships tagged Inferred and can never claim High confidence — capped in code after the model answers, not asked of it. You'll always know which questions came from someone who actually sat the interview, and which are a reasoned read of how this company probably runs one.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You enter the company you're interviewing with, select the interview rounds you're preparing for, and our AI researches publicly available information to pinpoint the questions you might face. Each question comes with evidence and prep notes.

A note from the builder

I built this after one too many evenings lost to Glassdoor threads and half-updated Reddit posts, trying to guess what an interview would actually cover. A coaching call cost more than the job hunt could justify, and a generic question bank never knew which company I was even talking to.

So Interview Resources does the digging I used to do by hand, shows its sources instead of asking you to trust it, and costs less than a coffee per report. If the public data on a company is thin, it says so instead of pretending otherwise. That's the whole promise: real research, shown honestly, priced fairly.
