Hack Interview

Overview

Hack Interview application is a tool designed to assist in job interviews using the power of Generative AI. Combining voice recognition and text generation technologies, this application transcribes interview questions and generates responses in real-time, empowering users to handle interviews with confidence and ease.

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

This application is a proof of concept and should be used ethically and responsibly. It is not intended to deceive or mislead during interviews. The primary purpose is to demonstrate the capabilities of AI in assisting with real-time question understanding and response generation. Users should use this tool only for practice and learning!

Features

• Real-Time Audio Processing: Records and transcribes audio seamlessly.
• Voice Recognition: Uses OpenAI's Whisper model for accurate voice recognition.
• Intelligent Response Generation: Leverages OpenAI's GPT models for generating concise and relevant answers.
• Cross-Platform Functionality: Designed to work on various operating systems.
• User-Friendly Interface: Simple, intuitive and hideous GUI for easy interaction.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+: Ensure Python is installed on your system.
• OpenAI API Key: To use OpenAI's GPT models, you will need an API key.
• BlackHole for MacOS: An essential tool for recording your computer's audio output (e.g. from Zoom calls or browser tabs). Microphone Fallback: If BlackHole isn't installed or properly configured, the application can still function by recording your microphone input.
