Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about Live Assist, mock interviews, privacy, and billing.
Getting Started
What is InterviewBoost.ai?
InterviewBoost.ai is an AI-powered job-hunt copilot. It auto-applies to matching jobs 24/7, feeds you real-time answers during live interviews on your phone or desktop, tailors a resume for every role, and scores your performance so you keep improving.
Do I need to download anything to get started?
No. You can sign up and use mock interviews, ResumeGPT, and Auto Apply right in your browser. For live interview assist, use the mobile app or the private desktop app — both optional, both free to install.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — a full one-week free trial with real access: mock interviews, Auto Apply submissions, extension autofill, and resume tailoring. No credit card required to start. After the week, upgrade to Standard to keep going.
Live Interview Assist
How does live assist work on my phone?
Open the app and tap Start. Your phone listens to the room, transcribes the conversation, detects the interviewer's question, and shows you a clear, structured answer in about 0.3 seconds — so you respond confidently in your own words.
Will my interviewer know I am using it?
On mobile, the app simply sits beside you like notes. On desktop, Stealth Mode uses OS-level window exclusion so the assistant stays invisible during screen sharing — it never appears in the shared screen, taskbar, or recordings.
Which interview platforms are supported?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, Amazon Chime, and coding platforms like HackerRank and CodeSignal. Because the phone listens to ambient audio, it also works for in-person and phone-screen interviews.
Does it help with coding interviews?
Yes. The Real-Time Coding Companion reads the problem, suggests an optimal approach with time and space complexity, and can type a clean solution into your editor across Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, Go, and more.
24/7 Auto Apply
What is 24/7 Auto Apply?
Auto Apply continuously finds jobs that match your profile, scores each one, tailors a resume and cover letter, and submits applications around the clock — even while you sleep — so you land far more interview calls without the manual grind.
Will it apply to jobs without my approval?
You're always in control. You set a minimum match score and a daily cap, and you can require manual review before anything is submitted. Auto Apply only acts within the rules you define.
How many jobs can it apply to per day?
The free week includes 25 one-click applies to try it out; Standard is unlimited. Sensible daily pacing keeps every submission high-quality and avoids spam-like behavior.
Are the auto-submitted applications actually tailored?
Yes. Every application gets a resume and cover letter rewritten to match that specific job description — same true facts, sharper framing — never a single generic resume blasted everywhere.
ResumeGPT & Resumes
What is ResumeGPT?
ResumeGPT lets you chat with your own resume. Upload it once and it generates the exact interview questions you're likely to be asked based on your real experience, then lets you rehearse answers in a live chat.
Do you tailor my resume to each job?
Yes. Paste any job description and the AI produces an ATS-optimized version tailored to that role while staying 100% truthful to your experience. You can export to PDF or DOCX.
Do you check ATS compatibility?
Every resume is graded against real ATS parsers. We flag missing keywords from the job description and suggest fixes so your resume actually makes it past the screening systems.
Privacy & Security
Is the desktop app really invisible during screen sharing?
Yes. The desktop app uses Windows SetWindowDisplayAffinity and macOS screen-capture exclusion APIs, so it's hidden from screen shares, recordings, Alt+Tab, the taskbar, and the Task Manager applications list.
What happens to my interview audio and data?
Audio is processed in real time to generate suggestions and is not stored unless you explicitly opt in to recording for post-interview analytics. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
Subscriptions & Billing
What plans do you offer?
Two simple options: a Free one-week trial with real access (3 mock interviews, 2 AI resumes, 25 one-click applies, extension autofill), and Standard at $99/mo with everything unlimited — live answer coach, desktop app, coding companion, auto-apply queue, recruiter outreach, and the full resume toolkit. Yearly billing saves 25% ($891/yr).
What happens when my free week ends?
Feature access pauses until you upgrade to Standard. Your interview history, resumes, and application tracker are preserved and waiting for you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — cancel from the Subscription page anytime, effective immediately. Monthly subscribers get a prorated refund for unused time; yearly subscribers are charged the months they used at the monthly rate and refunded the remainder.
Do you offer refunds?
Beyond the automatic cancellation refunds, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions. If it isn't a fit, contact support within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.
