Overview

Applai supports the job search from the candidate’s side, with an AI interview coach that generates likely questions from the specific posting rather than a generic list.

Role-specific question generation is the part worth having. Generic interview preparation lists are freely available everywhere and are the reason so many candidates arrive with a rehearsed answer about their greatest weakness and nothing prepared for the question that actually decides the interview. Generating from the posting surfaces what this employer is likely to probe, which is a materially different exercise.

It sits on the candidate side of a category dominated by employer tooling, which is worth noting given how much of hiring AI is built to filter people rather than help them. Free to start. Practise answers aloud rather than reading them – the failure mode of prepared answers is delivering them as though they were prepared.
