HotSeat turns your resume into a real technical interview — not generic questions, but ones tailored to your actual projects and stack. It adapts live: score low on an answer and it fires a targeted follow-up before moving on, just like a sharp human interviewer would. Answer by voice, text, or in a full code editor with real execution — all graded as one response. It also scores your resume against any job description, requirement by requirement, showing exactly what's missing before you apply.
Hey everyone 👋
I built HotSeat because most interview prep tools ask you the same generic questions everyone else gets — "explain polymorphism," "tell me about a challenge you faced" — regardless of what's actually on your resume. That never felt like real interview prep to me. A real interviewer reads your resume and asks you about your project, your stack, your decisions.
So that's what HotSeat does — parse your resume, generate questions built around what you actually did, and adapt as you go. If you give a weak answer, it doesn't just move on — it follows up and digs deeper, the way a sharp interviewer would. And since interviews aren't just talking, you can answer by voice, in writing, or write and run real code, all graded together as one response.
Along the way I added a second piece: paste a job description and HotSeat scores your resume against it requirement-by-requirement, so you know exactly what to fix before you even apply.
Would love feedback — especially on question quality and whether the follow-ups actually feel like a real interviewer probing deeper. Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood too.
