CoPilot Interview saves each session as a Markdown (.md) file in Documents › CoPilot Interview › Sessions on your own computer. It writes the file a few seconds after each answer and finishes it when you click End, and the "Interview saved" message has an Open folder button. There is no history screen inside the app, and interview transcripts are not stored on CoPilot Interview's servers.
How to find a saved session
- Click End. An "Interview saved" message shows the number of questions and the file name, with an Open folder button.
- Later, on Windows, open File Explorer, then Documents, CoPilot Interview, Sessions. On a Mac, open Finder, then Documents, CoPilot Interview, Sessions.
- Open the file in any text editor, such as Notepad or TextEdit, or in a Markdown viewer for headings and tables.
If Windows backs your Documents folder up to a cloud service, the Sessions folder is inside that synced Documents folder.
How files are named
Each name starts with the date and time the session began, followed by the company and job title when the app can work them out from the job description or link, for example 2026-09-30_14-56_Acme_Senior-Backend-Engineer.md. Mock Interview and Interviewer / HR sessions add "mock" or "interviewer". Adding the job description gives the app what it needs for a readable name.
What is inside a session file
| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Heading | Company and job title when known, then the date and time |
| Details | Mode, Duration, Questions asked, Company, Job title, Job URL, AI model (both models in Dual AI Mode), Language, and Coding language when Coding was on |
| Questions asked | A short list of every question |
| Full transcript | Each question as the captions heard it, followed by the answer (both answers in Dual AI Mode) |
| AI interview summary | The 📊 Summary report, if you made one; Interviewer / HR sessions call it "AI candidate evaluation" |
A Mock Interview file lists each graded question and ends with the mock interview report card. No file contains audio, screenshots, or the text of your résumé or job description.
During a session
- Every answer stays in Answer History on the right, with a running count, and each card has a 📋 Copy button; see the answer panel guide.
- 📊 Summary adds a report card (an overall score from 1 to 10, five scored areas, strengths, areas to improve with drills, and likely next-round questions), and the file picks it up automatically.
- After End the setup screen returns, and that session's answers live only in its file.
Limits
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Location | Always Documents › CoPilot Interview › Sessions; it can't be changed |
| Format | Markdown text (.md) |
| When it saves | A few seconds after each answer, and on End, so a crash or forced quit keeps the answers saved so far |
| Sessions with no answers | Not saved |
| Browsing past sessions in the app | Not available |
| Cloud copy | None from CoPilot Interview |
| Very large sessions | A file over 10 MB isn't written ("Session too large to save") |
Privacy and deleting files
The privacy policy says CoPilot Interview does not store interview audio, transcripts, screenshots or answers on its servers; audio is processed in short segments and discarded after transcription. The setup screen sums it up as "🔒 Sessions saved on your device".
One optional exception is anonymous question stats from a 📊 Summary report: question titles, categories, difficulty and scores, never answers, transcripts, your résumé or contact details. They are on by default except in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and 📊 Anonymous stats: ON in ⚙ Options turns them off.
To delete a session, delete its file, empty the Recycle Bin or Trash, and if Documents syncs to a cloud service, delete it there too. Deleting your interview assistant data covers the account side, and where your transcript is saved explains what to do with the file after an interview.
Troubleshooting and practice
- "Save failed": the message gives the reason. Check that your Documents folder exists and has free space.
- No file after a short session: sessions save only once there is at least one answer.
- The Open folder message closed: browse to the Sessions folder yourself.
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac, and the session file doubles as a study log: after a free AI mock interview, reread the questions and the report card before your next round.
