Nervo

Inspiration

Nervo was inspired by the challenges many students and job seekers face during interviews. A lot of people struggle with confidence, communication, and lack of real interview practice. Traditional preparation methods often feel unrealistic or inaccessible. We wanted to create a platform that simulates real interview experiences using AI, helping users practice naturally and improve their confidence before actual interviews.

What it does

Nervo is an AI-powered interview simulation platform that allows users to practice realistic interviews through conversational interaction.

The platform:

Simulates real interview conversations using AI Generates role-specific interview questions Allows users to respond naturally through chat or voice Provides personalized feedback and improvement suggestions Helps users build confidence and communication skills

How we built it

We built Navo as a full-stack AI-powered web application.

Frontend: Interactive interview interface for real-time conversation Backend: Handles interview sessions, response flow, and user data Gemini API: Powers dynamic interview conversations, adaptive questioning, and AI-generated feedback AI logic: Analyzes user responses and provides personalized suggestions for improvement

The goal was to make the experience feel as close as possible to a real interview.

Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What's next for Nervo

Next, we plan to expand Navo into a more advanced AI career preparation platform.
