What would you like to do?

Choose a path, then follow steps 1–3 in the desktop app.

Start a practice interview

  1. Create a Goal for the job

    Select New goal and enter the role and company. A Goal keeps your preparation, sessions, and feedback together for that job.

    Goals → New goal

    For more relevant help: paste the job description, upload your resume in Library, and select it in the Goal’s Prep tab. You can add these later.

  2. Start a practice interview

    Open your Goal’s Prep tab and select Start Practice. In Preflight, choose a Practice scenario and check your microphone, then select Start practice session.

    Goal → Prep → Start Practice

    Put on headphones and answer out loud. Stuck on a question? Select Suggest answer.

    You can prepare your Goal and materials before subscribing. Starting a practice or live session requires a subscription. View plans

    Can’t start the session?

    If a check fails, follow Fix before starting, then select Retry checks.

  3. End your session. Take one next step.

    Select End and confirm. Open History or your Goal’s Sessions tab to find the automatic Debrief. Pick one improvement to practice next.

    History → Debrief

    A Debrief needs enough interview content. A very short session may show Details and a transcript instead.

A little help, only if you need it.

The answers that get you past common setup questions.

Which permissions do I need?

Practice needs your microphone. Live calls on this computer also need meeting audio; Screen Help needs screen access. Follow the app’s setup prompts and check Preflight before starting. On Mac, same-computer meeting audio requires macOS 14.4 or newer.

Fix permissions
What if my interview is on a phone or in person?

In live Preflight, change Audio source to Phone or in person. Save a short voice sample when prompted so Copilot can identify your voice. For a call, place your phone on speaker near your computer’s microphone.

Set up phone or in-person audio
Do I need a separate coding or system design mode?

For live interviews, general, coding, and system design questions work within one session. Screen Help uses Auto-capture or Solve screen for visible problems. When practicing, choose the scenario you want to rehearse in Preflight.

How Screen Help works
Where are my old web resumes and reports?

They stay in AI Drive and Interview Reports on the website and do not automatically sync to desktop Library or History. Use Open AI Drive on the web in Library or Open Interview Reports on the web in History. To reuse a resume, download it from AI Drive and upload it to Library.

Move from the web app
What is recorded, and how do I stop a session?

The desktop app automatically records session audio and uploads it after the session; it does not record screen video. Screen Help screenshots are separate, and you can turn off Auto-capture in Settings → Privacy & Stealth. To stop a session, select End and confirm. Hiding or collapsing the assistant keeps it running.
