I'm working on SPHNX, a voice-based AI coding interviewer. While problem solving is crucial for passing interviews, in a live interview you are also getting tested for your communication, debugging, thinking on the spot, testing, code clarity, and other skills. You can't practice these on leetcode, but it's easy with SPHNX. I've just added rich feedback reports last week that turned out more helpful than I expected.
Right now it works as a mock interviewer for algorithmic (leetcode-style) problems, you can sign up for the waitlist here, I'll send you an invite right after:
It actually works pretty well, but we're having trouble getting users (some sign up but don't end up doing even a single interview?!).
We're thinking whether we could sell a version of this to companies to do their technical screens in, perhaps with problems that are more similar to the actual software engineering work (e.g. debug existing piece of code, write tests, and extend it).
We're generous with interview credits if you give us good feedback =)
Very cool idea. It would help to have testimonials. Also it looks kinda janky on Safari mobile
Marketing/distribution/adoption is maybe the hardest thing about creating a new product or service
I think you have the right idea about focusing on companies, because they can be recurrent users, whereas people preparing for interviews will only briefly use the product
