AI Interview Simulator

Uploading Resume and Job Description(JD)
Resume Analysis
AI Mock Interview
Feedback of the interview

Preparing for interviews can be stressful, especially without structured practice or real-time feedback. I wanted to create a tool that simulates a real interview experience, providing instant evaluation and actionable feedback, so users can improve their skills confidently and efficiently. The idea came from observing how professional interview coaches guide candidates and realizing that technology can make this accessible to everyone.

What it does The AI Interview Simulator allows users to: Upload their resume and job description for personalized analysis. Practice answering interview questions with real-time speech recognition. Receive AI-generated feedback and scoring for every answer. Track overall performance with visual progress charts and skill recommendations.

How we built it Frontend: Built using React/Next.js and Tailwind CSS, featuring interactive timers, countdowns, and speech interaction. Backend: Powered by Flask APIs handling resume analysis, question generation, and answer evaluation. Agentic AI: Leveraged Amazon Nova for running AI models efficiently and generating structured, detailed feedback. Visualization: Scores and feedback are displayed using Chart.js and dynamic progress bars for clarity.

Challenges we ran into Managing real-time speech input with intermittent pauses while keeping the interface responsive. Coordinating timers, AI evaluation, and UI state across multiple components. Designing a fair scoring system that balances keyword matching with AI assessment. Integrating Amazon Nova for Agentic AI evaluation while maintaining smooth API communication. Creating an intuitive user interface that works across devices.
