Frequently Asked Questions

DebriefAI is a desktop app that runs silently in the background during your job interview. It captures the audio on your device — your microphone and system audio on separate channels — and the moment you end the session, it delivers a structured AI coaching report. No manual input, no replaying the call, no waiting on the company for feedback that never comes.

Nothing. DebriefAI captures audio passively and does not interact with your interview in any way. There is no overlay, no popup, no visual interface while the session is running. You focus entirely on your interview.

Reports are typically delivered in under two minutes after you end your session, regardless of interview length.

Your report includes a 5-dimension performance breakdown (Communication, Problem Solving, Technical Depth, Code Quality, Culture Fit), an Interviewer Signal Analysis showing how your answers landed based on the interviewer's verbal responses, an Advancement Probability estimate with a range and confidence level, and specific coaching on what to improve before your next interview.

It does not read minds. It analyzes the interviewer's actual verbal behavior throughout the conversation — things like follow-up questions, affirmations, pushback, pacing, and engagement patterns. These are real behavioral signals in the transcript that indicate how your answers landed.

No. DebriefAI runs entirely on your device and is not visible to anyone on the other side of the call. The interviewer sees exactly what you choose to show them — nothing more.

No. Audio is uploaded after your session ends for transcription processing and is deleted after your report is generated. It is not stored long term. Full details are in our Privacy Policy at debriefai.co/privacy.

Recording laws vary by jurisdiction. In many places you are legally permitted to record calls you are a participant in, but we always recommend users check the laws in their state or country before use. You can review our full Privacy Policy at debriefai.co/privacy.

DebriefAI collects the audio from your interview session for the purpose of generating your coaching report. We do not sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
