OctoHires — AI that listens, sees & thinks in your interviews

by

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Rahul, the solo founder behind OctoHires.

Some of you might have seen me around — I've been heads-down building this for months, and I'm genuinely excited (and a little terrified) to finally share it with the community.

So, what is OctoHires?

It's a private desktop copilot that sits with you during live interviews. It hears the interviewer, reads questions off your screen, and streams the answer you should give — tailored to your resume, the role, and the company.

No tabs. No frantic Googling. One quiet overlay that does the thinking with you.

Here's how it works:

  • Hears the interviewer — Live speech-to-text on their voice, captions appear as they talk

  • Sees your screen — One hotkey captures coding questions, errors, or diagrams

  • Understands context — Your resume, the job description, and the company shape every answer

  • Streams the answer — In under 2 seconds, structured and ready to say out loud

What it covers:

Coding, SQL, MCQ, debugging, system design, behavioral — 25+ question types auto-classified with confidence scores. And the overlay is invisible in screen-shares — Zoom, Meet, Teams, nobody sees it but you.

Why I built this:

I kept watching friends — and myself — freeze up in interviews we were technically ready for. The knowledge was there. The nerves just won. I wanted something that actually helps in the moment, not just more prep material.

The honest truth:

This is an early launch. 50 founding licenses at launch pricing — 31 already claimed, 19 left. Lifetime license, one-time payment, no subscription.

What I'd love from you:

  • Have you ever blanked in an interview you were prepared for?

  • What's the one thing you wish you had during a live interview?

  • Any questions about how this works under the hood?

I'll be reading every comment and using your feedback to make the product better. Whether it's praise, criticism, or wild feature ideas — bring it on.

Thanks for taking a look — it genuinely means a lot. ❤️
