Mock video job interviews and coaching with AI

Job interviews today are too scarce to be used as practice. Mockstar offers realistic voice and video AI mock interviews featuring professional coaching insights, natural dialogue, and evidence-based feedback that improves your skill and get more job offers.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Mockstar because I was spending my days coaching people to help them develop job interview skills for $250/hour, and I kept seeing the same problem: how to get more realistic and useful practice after our session had identified their weaknesses in interview settings.
Non-native English speakers wanted to keep practicing their business English. Clients would get great insights about what to improve, but then they go back to practicing with basic Q&A-style apps that felt nothing like real interviews.
It used to be that you could line up interviews and treat them as practice. But companies are getting slammed with hundreds of applicants per role. Interviews and real feedback are scarce. Every interview needs to count.
What I feel makes Mockstar different 🎯
• It's based on the same metrics and feedback areas I give as a coach, with a bunch of quantitative measures made possible from voice and video analysis (speaking pace, filler words, eye contact, etc).
• Natural back-and-forth conversation that builds realistic pressure for a solid simulation
• Evidence-based feedback from actual recordings, not AI guesswork
I’m most proud of two things:
• Firstly, the economics work. You're getting professional-level coaching insights for $20-45/hour instead of $250, and it's available 24/7 when you need to practice for that big opportunity. I think it's especially good value for grads and early career applicants.
• Secondly, I’ve dreamed of building and launching a fully-fledged digital product on Product Hunt for a long time, so it feels very good to be posting this.
Thank you so much for supporting my launch!
Product looks very exciting. Will look at potential rollout with my clients.
@donald_stimson That’s exciting to hear. Are you an interview coach? Thank you for supporting my launch.
Massive congrats, Matt! Mockstar is such a clever and needed tool. Love how it brings real coaching insights to more people at a fraction of the cost. Proud to see you turn this vision into reality—upvoted and cheering you on! 🙌
@yue_niu thank you Yue! I hope it can make a difference for a lot of people, it’s tough getting interviews at the moment so we need to make the most of each one we get. Thank you for supporting my launch, truly appreciated.
Hi Matt, congrats on the launch! This is such a great tool for interview practice, the personalised reports are impressive, and the feedback feels human, relevant, and far more insightful than what I’d typically get from a friend. Well done! Do you have any plans to extend it for mock sales calls?
Thank you @bearbear! Friends can definitely help you to prepare for an interview, but I wanted to build something where you can practice for a specific interview as many times as you need to feel confident. I think this technology definitely has applications for mock sales calls and sales training, but I'm focused on job interviews for now. Thank you for your question and for supporting my launch.
Congrats Matt! Very polished. How far off do you think we are from the AI models and digital avatars being indistinguishable from a Zoom call? Seems close.
Hi @nathanwaters it's a good question and a driver for the idea behind this product. I'm starting to see a number of players in the space for generating real-time video with digital avatars and they're announcing larger funding rounds. I developed Mockstar in anticipation of this. I also designed the UI to start to feel like a typical video/Zoom call to better simulate the remote interview experience. Thanks for your question and for supporting my launch.
Great app! I believe in this app because I believe in Matt.
He helped me pass two interviews — that’s a 100% success rate.
Matt is awesome because he has a clear, structured way of thinking that helps you deeply understand what employers are really looking for, what you have to offer, and how to make that a perfect match.
He helps you break out of your everyday mindset and see your work from a completely new perspective. With his guidance, you’ll better understand your own value, uncover hidden strengths, boost your confidence, and prepare for truly meaningful interview conversations.
Thanks @fiona18, your support and kind words mean so much. One thing I really focus on is the company research stage and anticipating the sorts of questions you're going to be asked in a specific interview. That's the vision for this product: to let people get the most realistic interview experience for whichever role they're applying for, so they're truly prepared to do their best and turn job interviews into more offers. Thank you.
Congrats on the launch.Can you tell me how does the product work?
Hi @musa10, thanks for your question. The app works by bringing together a number of AI technologies, including real-time video generation, natural dialogue, and realistic voices for your mock interviewer. You can use this to simulate job interviews and receive comprehensive feedback to help you improve your interviewing skills and get more job offers. Thanks for your question and for supporting my launch!
