Role-based mock interview

A repeatable rehearsal plan

Delay the pitch

Spend most of the first role-play on discovery and summarize the problem in the buyer language before presenting a solution.

Diagnose the objection

Respond to a broad objection with a clarifying question, verify the underlying concern, and offer a relevant next step.

Defend the forecast

Name buyer evidence, missing commitments, timeline risk, competition, and the event that would change the forecast category.

Role-based mock interview

Practice privately on Mac

Local-first session

Keep deal-shaped examples, account plans, and negotiation details local with company, contact, and commercial data removed. Use local NVIDIA Parakeet transcription and local session history to keep the practice record on your Mac.

AI provider choice

Ask the model to play a skeptical buyer, security leader, finance approver, or competitor advocate and vary the objection path. Use compatible on-device Gemma where available or bring OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, Codex, or another compatible provider you control.

Peer mock and review

Capture the role-play and visible mutual action plan so coaching points stay tied to exact questions and buyer signals. The free core app also works as a meeting copilot, with screen-aware context for the artifacts you discuss.

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.

Yes. ExtraBrain can transcribe the practice session, follow visible context, help generate follow-up prompts, and preserve a local review record for account executive interview preparation.

Can I reuse practice feedback in a real interview?
