Abhijeet More, Vibhuti Awasthi, Anshu Kushwaha, Adnan Warwande, Joyal Georgi . PrepAgent: A Real-Time Voice Mock Interview Platform using Interactive Conversational Agents. International Journal of Computer Applications. 187, 104 ( May 2026), 60-68. DOI=10.5120/ijca675ba6c48799
The fast-paced nature of technologies that job market has made it so that getting an interview and succeeding in that interview can be the point of no return for many up-and-coming engineers and developers. Current mock interview applications leveraging AI include a handful of options; however, most of these applications function mainly as "record and review" exercises, allowing you to answer a predetermined set of questions and then submit your answers, waiting to receive feedback after the fact. This type of technique, that doesn’t not deliver any of the back-and-forth interactions common during a real interview, is missing the key elements found in those interviews, where follow-up questions are spontaneously generated, and immediate thinking under pressure is part of that test. To fill this void in recruit process, we have created PrepAgent, a live voice-first preparation tool that uses both a modern technology stack (Next.js and Firebase) and a voice enabled artificial intelligence application called Vapi AI, allowing for conversations to be continuously updated in real-time to mirror the dynamics of an actual hiring interview by generating and evaluating questions based on your responses to help you develop confidence while honing your problem-solving ability under pressure and developing stronger communication skills.
