FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before your first session.

Is this really free? What's the catch?
Yes, completely free. The app runs on Cloudflare's free tier and Google Gemini's free API tier. No ads, no data selling, no upsells.
Why 5 questions per session?
Real interviews typically run 4–6 behavioral questions or 2–3 system design problems with deep follow-ups. 5 questions with a follow-up on each replicates a genuine 45-minute interview round.
How realistic are the AI's questions?
Questions are generated by Gemini 2.5 Flash using detailed system prompts encoding real interview patterns, tuned to your role and company tier.
Are my answers stored?
No answers are stored server-side. The session exists only in your browser's memory — refreshing the page clears it entirely.
When does the daily limit reset?
The Gemini API free tier resets at midnight Pacific Time (PT). That's 3 AM Eastern, 2 AM Central, 7–8 AM UTC, and 12:30 PM IST.
What if I hit the daily session limit?
At ~13 API calls per session, the 1,000 daily free calls support about 76 full sessions. If the limit is hit, the app shows a clear message and tells you when it resets.
