You can run a good AI mock interview for free in 2027, and our pick is CoPilot Interview, which we make, because its free plan builds questions from your résumé, listens to your spoken answers and scores them out of ten. There are six other free routes worth knowing, each with a different catch. This page lists all seven, says which gives you a score and a transcript, and sets out a week-long schedule that fits inside the free limits. For tools that also offer live help, see our full comparison for 2027.

A prompt for a free voice chatbot
If you use ChatGPT voice or Gemini Live, paste this first and adapt it:
You are a skeptical hiring manager for the job below. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my full answer. After each answer, give me a score out of ten, one thing that worked and one specific thing to fix. Do not praise me unless it is earned. Ask a follow-up if my answer lacks a specific example or a result.
Then paste the job description and your résumé. It will not be as strict as you asked, so treat a seven as a five.
A free one-week schedule
- Day 1: the demo at /try. Three questions, out loud, to find your weakest track.
- Day 2: a mock interview from the real job description. Read the transcript. Free practice with scoring shows what to look for.
- Day 3: rewrite your two weakest stories, then say them aloud three times.
- Day 4: another mock interview, same mix, new questions.
- Day 5: voice chatbot with the skeptical prompt above, for a different kind of pressure.
- Day 6: practice with a person if you can; free mock interview websites list peer options.
- Day 7: one short run on your actual video setup, then stop.
If you are preparing for an AI-led interview
Some employers now run AI interviewers as a first round, and those rounds forbid outside help, so practice is the only preparation available. How to practice for an AI interview for free covers the format: a question on screen, a countdown, no human reaction. Practicing into a camera with no feedback feels strange the first few times, and it is worth getting used to that before it counts.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant whose mock interview builds questions from your résumé and the job description. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included, with no card and no signup. Practice is the use nobody objects to; for anything beyond it in a real interview, follow your employer's rules.

Yes. Our demo at /try needs no signup, and our desktop app's free plan needs no account or card.
Is ChatGPT good for mock interviews?
With a strict prompt, it is a useful free option. It tends to be generous, so discount its praise and look for specific fixes.

On ours, as many as fit in 15 minutes a day. Verve AI offers five in total and Parakeet AI one, as stated in October 2026.
Will a mock interview score predict the result?
