Pass The Loop

AI mock interviews for coding, systems design, and behavioral rounds — talk through your answer out loud and get a scorecard.

The pitch

Mock interviews with a friend only get you so far — they're hard to schedule, and the feedback is usually a vibe check rather than anything structured. Pass The Loop is an AI interviewer you can talk to any time. You speak your answer out loud, just like the real thing, and it responds like a real interviewer would: nudging you when you're stuck, following up on your reasoning, and staying quiet when you don't need help.

It covers the three rounds most software engineering loops actually run: algorithmic coding, systems design, and behavioral. Every session ends with a scorecard that rates you on the things that matter for that round and gives you concrete things to fix.

Three interview types

  • Coding

    Data structures, algorithms, and LeetCode-style problems. Talk through your approach — get a hint, not a handout.

  • Systems Design

    Sketch your architecture on a live whiteboard while narrating your decisions. Feedback calibrated to junior, senior, or lead level.

  • Behavioral

    Paste a job description, answer out loud, and get structured feedback on your STAR stories.

The scorecard

After each session you get a rubric-scored breakdown — relevance, story quality, communication, whatever matters for that round — plus talking-time and filler-word tracking, since “you know” and “uh” are easy to miss in the moment but obvious in a transcript. A hire/no-hire call and a written summary tie it together, so you walk away with a plan instead of just a number.

How it works

  • Pick a format. Coding, systems design, or behavioral — no lengthy setup.
  • Talk it through. Speak into your mic as you code or sketch, just like you would with a real interviewer.
  • Get a real response.Your transcript and workspace become context for an LLM interviewer that responds in the moment — hints when you're stuck, follow-ups when you're not.
  • Review the scorecard. Walk away with a rubric-scored breakdown and a study plan, not just a pass/fail.
