Building an AI interview coach because everyone I knew was prepping the same broken way

Saif · 2026-08-28T21:16:12.819-07:00

Been building something for the past few months and figured this is the right place to actually talk about it instead of just dropping a link somewhere. Backstory - I kept seeing the same pattern with friends prepping for interviews. Everyone grinding LeetCode alone, watching YouTube "how to answer system design questions" videos, maybe doing a mock interview with a friend once if they were lucky. Nobody was actually getting interrupted mid-answer with a follow-up question the way a real interviewer does. You can know the material cold and still freeze the first time someone pushes back on your answer live. So I built Elan. It's an AI that runs an actual voice interview with you - coding, system design, behavioral, all in one place instead of three different tools. It asks follow ups in real time, not scripted ones, and afterward breaks down what actually worked and what didn't instead of just handing you a score. Solo building this, full stack, from scratch. Still figuring out a lot - especially the go to market side since building the product was honestly the easier part compared to getting people to actually try it. If you're building something too, drop it below, I'll genuinely go check it out and support it. Would also love to hear if anyone here has done technical interview prep recently - what actually helped vs what was a waste of time. Trying to make sure this solves a real problem and not just the one I assumed existed.

Free image tools. No login. No ads. No BS.

We've all hit the iLoveIMG signup wall at the worst possible moment.

ihateimg.in is the alternative I built out of frustration a completely free image toolkit that never asks you to create an account, never shows you an ad, and never locks a feature behind a paywall.

What you can do:

Crop trim your image exactly how you want
Resize custom dimensions in pixels or percentage
Compress reduce file size without killing quality
Watermark add text or image watermarks in seconds
Upscale increase resolution without heavy blur

New Referral Feature is LIVE! 🔺

Hey everyone, I just pushed a major update to Uppale, and we are officially live on Product Hunt right now! The whole philosophy behind Uppale is visibility powered by people. If users are the ones driving the platform s growth by bringing in their network, it makes no sense to just give them a pat on the back. They should actively participate in the ecosystem's economy. That s why I just rolled out our new Referral Program. I wanted to build a double-sided incentive structure that actually rewards real action. The moment a friend signs up using your personal link, you both get instant marketplace credit to boost your visibility. Then, once your referred friend completes their onboarding and starts making organic earnings on the platform, an extra bonus triggers for you because you brought a real, active contributor to the network. I spent a lot of time dialing in the UX for this. There s a clean, dedicated dashboard under your account to track your network live, with one-click native sharing covering everything from quick link copying to Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Reddit. It s also fully integrated into the newly upgraded, lightning-fast leaderboard layout we just deployed. We are competing for the top spots on Product Hunt today, and if you love independent engineering, building in public, or just want to see how an attention market actually works, I d really appreciate your support and upvote. Check out the launch, grab your personal link, and let me know what you think in the comments here: https://www.producthunt.com/post... Let's climb the ranks together!

Introducing AI Scale Simulator — Forecast AI Costs Before You Scale

Aiscalesimulator.com Hi Product Hunt As AI builders, we're great at asking: "Can we build this?" But we rarely ask: "What happens if this actually succeeds?" As AI products scale, token consumption, infrastructure requirements, operational complexity, and costs can increase dramatically. I built AI Scale Simulator to help founders, developers, and AI teams answer those questions before growth arrives. With AI Scale Simulator, you can: Forecast Growth Estimate AI Usage Predict Costs Prepare Infrastructure The goal isn't to predict the future perfectly. It's to help builders prepare for it. Try AI Scale Simulator today.

I'm excited to introduce Telemetria by ShielderSoft.

Hello Product Hunt!

I'm excited to introduce Telemetria by ShielderSoft.

Modern security teams are drowning in telemetry. Every day, organizations generate millions of logs, alerts, and events across endpoints, cloud environments, networks, and applications. The challenge isn't collecting data anymore it's making sense of it.

That's why we built Telemetria.

Do you trust your AI agents? Now you can.

Launching Venn.ai on Product Hunt today.

The problem we saw: AI agents are most valuable when they have context and the ability to act. But connecting Slack, Salesforce, Jira, Notion, and Gmail to every AI you use? That can get complex fast and become a security nightmare.

DeepMarket — The crypto market as a living 3D ocean. Every coin is a sea creature.

Right now, the crypto Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 13. If you opened a traditional dashboard, you'd see red numbers. Candlesticks pointing down. Tables of data.

If you opened DeepMarket, you'd see a storm.

The surface is churning. Visibility is near zero. The Kraken that's Bitcoin has sunk deeper into its lair on the ocean floor. The Blue Whale (ETH) is drifting slow through dark water. And hundreds of smaller creatures are scattering through the fog.

That's what DeepMarket does. It takes ~200 live cryptocurrency assets and transforms them into a real-time 3D underwater world. No mock data, no animations on a loop every creature's species, depth, speed, color, and glow is driven by live Binance market data, 24/7.

How much time do you spend building a workflow before it actually starts delivering value?

I've been talking to SaaS teams, operations teams, and automation builders recently, and I keep hearing the same story:

Open a workflow builder
Add triggers and actions
Configure and mapping fields
Test, debug, and tweak
Repeat until it finally works

The workflow itself isn't usually the hard part.

It's translating an idea into dozens of configuration steps.

A 7-person bootstrapped team trying to make it to #1 on Product Hunt today 🚀

We're currently #1 on Product Hunt today, and the product sitting right below us is Claude Code Artifacts

A bit surreal, because roughly half of our users connect Zernio to Claude via our MCP server to build social media automations. And now with the WhatsApp API, those same agents can handle the full conversation layer too. Consider messaging, calling, broadcasts, in-chat forms managed with your AI agent!
