How to use a role-based mock

Reproduce the actual signal

Use the round plan to test the work the role performs: code, analysis, design, discovery, decisions, communication, or leadership.

Score observable behavior

Take notes against the role scorecard instead of relying on a vague feeling that the answer sounded confident.

Repair one weakness at a time

Use the rehearsal drills for the weakest signal, then run a fresh full mock to verify that the improvement transfers.

A private practice and review loop

Local-first on Mac

Use local NVIDIA Parakeet transcription, local session history, and compatible on-device Gemma to keep a solo or peer mock local where your setup allows.

Bring your own provider

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Codex, or another compatible provider you control when you want external model feedback.

Free meeting copilot

The free core app can capture peer mocks as meetings, connect visible prompts or artifacts to the transcript, and support review afterward.

Responsible use

Use any live AI assistant only where interview, workplace, school, and platform rules allow it. Do not use generated answers to misrepresent your skills, experience, or authorship.

FAQ

Common questions.

Short answers for people and crawlers comparing ExtraBrain with other live AI assistants.

What is a role-based mock interview?

It is a practice interview built around the rounds, artifacts, decisions, and evaluation signals of a specific job instead of a generic list of questions.

Can I run a mock interview by myself?

Yes. Use prompts and timed answers for a solo baseline, then review the transcript and visible work. Peer mocks add follow-up pressure and human feedback when available.

How should I use AI during mock interviews?

Use AI to generate practice prompts, probe assumptions, and review your own explanations. In real interviews, follow all employer, school, interviewer, and platform rules and never misrepresent your skills or experience.
