Interviews by AI is a browser-based interview practice tool, not a live copilot. You give it a job description, a bank of common questions or your own list, answer each question out loud or in writing against a timer, and get a score, framework notes and a rewritten sample answer. Its site says more than 150,000 job seekers have used it. This page explains how Interviews by AI works step by step, the platforms and meeting apps it supports, its plans and free tier as listed on its site on November 12, 2026, where your data goes, its limits, and how it compares with CoPilot Interview. We make CoPilot Interview, so read the comparison with that in mind.
How Interviews by AI works, step by step
Each question runs through a three-step loop the site calls Generate, Practice and Improve. The value sits in the third step: the score breaks down into structure, specificity, delivery and filler words, and the sample answer is rebuilt from the facts you gave rather than from a generic template, so you can see what your own story sounds like when it is told well.
- Sign up with Google; the free plan needs no card.
- Generate questions: paste a job description (in the site's example, an account executive posting yields role-specific questions), choose from the common-question bank, or type your own.
- Answer one question at a time, out loud through your microphone or by typing, with a timer running; the demo shows three minutes, and Pro allows longer responses.
- Read the feedback: an overall score out of 100 (the site's example shows 78), a breakdown across structure, specificity, delivery and filler words, and notes against STAR and similar frameworks on what was clear, what was vague, and the one change that would most strengthen the answer.
- Compare your answer with the rewritten sample answer built from your own facts; on Pro, upload a résumé so feedback can point to experiences that fit the question.
- Review saved sessions in the dashboard to track progress over weeks.

Plans and pricing
Prices as listed on Interviews by AI's own site on November 12, 2026. They change often, so check before you pay.
| Plan | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $0 | 3 questions a month, resetting each monthly period; spoken or typed answers; instant AI feedback |
| Pro | $9 a month | Unlimited questions, résumé upload, longer response times; cancel any time from the account page |
Free tier: 3 questions a month on the Basic plan, with no card. That is enough to judge the feedback, not to prepare for an interview, so most real practice happens on Pro. For a deeper look at rehearsing out loud, see how InterviewBee's voice mock interviews work.
Refunds: The pricing page states no refund policy. Pro bills monthly; when you cancel, access continues to the end of the period you paid for.
Where your audio and data go
The homepage FAQ says audio recordings are deleted immediately after transcription and never stored, and that signed-in users' interview history is saved to the dashboard. The privacy policy, effective August 24, 2026, lists name and email from Google sign-in, interview data (generated questions, your responses and the AI feedback), anonymous usage data and cookies. It names Mixpanel for analytics and Stripe for payments, says card details are handled only by Stripe, and uses interview data to personalise and improve the service. It does not name the AI provider, give a retention period or describe a deletion process; questions go to the contact address on the site, and the terms refer to Canadian law.
Limits, and who Interviews by AI suits
- It is practice only: there is no live help, and nothing runs during a real call.
- The free tier is 3 questions a month, so serious preparation needs Pro.
- The site describes one question at a time and does not mention follow-up questions, so it drills single answers more than it simulates a full interview conversation.
- It does not mention camera or video feedback; delivery is judged from audio or text.
- The AI model, languages and a refund policy are not stated.
Interviews by AI suits interns, early-career candidates and career switchers, the groups its FAQ names, who want to drill individual answers cheaply and draft them in writing first if speaking feels hard.

Where CoPilot Interview fits
★ Best choice for candidates who want rehearsal and live help in one app: CoPilot Interview. CoPilot Interview is an interview copilot built as a native desktop app for Windows and macOS. It listens to the call and your microphone and shows captions and a structured answer in about two seconds, with free AI mock interviews to rehearse first. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Paid plans start at $24.99 a month with no annual commitment, and hour packs from $9.99 never expire. Audio is streamed in short segments and not stored, and the transcript stays in your Documents folder. Read how CoPilot Interview works for the details. Whatever tool you use, follow your employer's rules; online assessments and AI-led interviews forbid outside help.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.

Its Basic plan is free with no card and allows 3 questions a month. Pro, at $9 a month as listed on November 12, 2026, removes the limit.
Can I use Interviews by AI during a real interview?
No. It is a practice tool: you answer generated questions against a timer and get feedback afterwards, and it does not connect to meeting apps.
Does Interviews by AI store my voice?
Its FAQ says audio recordings are deleted immediately after transcription and never stored; your questions, answers and feedback are saved to your dashboard.
How does Interviews by AI score answers?
It scores structure, specificity, delivery and filler words, adds notes against STAR and other frameworks, and writes a stronger sample answer from your own facts.
Is practicing with Interviews by AI allowed?
Yes. Rehearsing before an interview is something no employer objects to. Live help is a different question: if you ever consider it, follow your employer's rules, and remember that online assessments and AI-led interviews forbid outside help.
