As developers, we’ve built AI that writes code, debugs, answers questions, and even scaffolds full apps. But what if AI could also coach us during job interviews — live, in real time?
That’s the experiment behind Interview Terminator.
Instead of just grinding LeetCode or reading prep books, I’ve been testing how AI can:
Guide practice sessions with real-time prompts.
Provide role-specific prep (fintech, robotics, design).
And even deliver undetectable live suggestions during real interviews.
It’s like having a mentor whispering in your ear — except powered by AI and invisible to the interviewer.
🧪 How It Works
Practice sessions with feedback
While practicing, subtle AI prompts appear: “Clarify assumptions first” or “Talk through trade-offs before choosing an approach.”
Behavioral interview coaching
AI nudges you to structure answers with STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) so you don’t ramble.
System design support
If you’re asked to design a distributed system, AI might flash: “Don’t forget to address caching and partitioning.”

🕵️ Undetectable Live Suggestions
This is where it gets interesting.
Interview Terminator can provide live coaching during real interviews.
Imagine:
You’re in a coding round on Zoom → subtle overlay reminds you to talk through your reasoning.
You’re in a design session → AI suggests mentioning scale or failure handling.
You’re in a behavioral round → AI flashes “STAR: emphasize the result.”
Because it’s private and undetectable, it feels like having a silent co-pilot for the toughest moments.
🚀 Why This Matters for Builders
We’ve all seen AI make developers faster at coding. This is the next frontier: making developers faster at interviews.
Instead of brute-force memorization, you can practice like normal — but with live coaching that adapts to your answers.
And when the stakes are high, you’re not left alone: AI can keep you structured, confident, and clear.
(We’ve also built AI-powered interview solutions
that target fintech, robotics, and product design roles specifically.)
⚡ Open Question
For this community: would you use AI during live interviews if it was invisible to the interviewer?
Is this the ultimate productivity hack, or crossing the line?
Where’s the balance between fairness and personal advantage?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
👋 Closing
I’m building Interview Terminator to make interview prep faster, smarter, and less stressful — both in practice and in the real thing.
