Practical guides for preparing, running Copilot, practising with Mock Interview, and understanding your plan.

Live assistance

Launch Copilot Session

Before starting an interview, confirm your Resume, Target Role, Interview Type, and Extra Context, then select Launch Copilot. Interview Type, language settings, AI Answer Model, and Copilot Mode are fixed for the session. To change them, end the current session and launch a new one.

Your selected preparation materials stay fixed for the session. In non-coding sessions, you can choose up to two Extra Context files. For Coding Interview, the launch screen does not offer Extra Context because that mode works from the problem or workspace shown on screen.

Start the interview

When the interview begins, select Start. Copilot begins capturing the interviewer through system audio and your voice through the microphone, while displaying live captions as the conversation continues.

Phone Interview instead captures both voices through the Mac microphone and shows identified interviewer captions.

In Phone Interview, your identified answers stay hidden from live captions but are saved with the interviewer’s words in History for Feedback. Only interviewer speech can trigger automatic AI Answers. Speech that cannot be reliably identified may be missing from the saved transcript.

Capture a question from your screen

If a question appears on screen, press ⌥Z to capture the current active window. The screenshot is automatically added to Input Question and its content is used when generating an AI Answer. The active window must not be the Copilot itself; it can be HackerRank, a browser, Word document, Zoom, or another interview application.

You can attach multiple screenshots when one question spans more than one screen.

Input Question

Type or paste a question, code, an error, or transcript text into Input Question. Use ⌥Z to add a screenshot of the active window, or focus Input Question to paste an image from the clipboard. Screenshots copied by macOS or another screenshot tool work when they are available on the clipboard as an image.

Select + to choose files, or drag and drop images and supported documents onto Input Question. These inputs become part of the current question when you generate an AI Answer. This works in Coding, Behavioral, Technical, System Design, General, and Phone Interview.

  • Images: up to 10 per question, including screenshots. Common readable formats include PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, BMP, ICO, and AVIF. Animated or multi-frame images use the first frame only. SVG files are not supported.
  • Documents: up to 5 PDF or Word (.docx) files per question, each up to 20 MB and 5 pages. Word page counts are approximate and may differ from Microsoft Word. Legacy .doc, TXT, RTF, Markdown, and other document formats are not supported here.
  • Combined limits: up to 15 files in total within the image and document limits above. An answer can include up to 10 images or PDF page images in total. For longer material, split it into separate questions. Attach Word diagrams separately as images or PDF.
  • Before generating: wait for documents to finish preparing. Files that are too large, too long, unsupported, or unreadable are skipped with a brief message. If you exceed a count limit, only the files that fit are added. Use fewer or smaller attachments if a request cannot be sent.

Generate AI Answers

In Auto Mode, Copilot follows the live conversation, detects interview questions, and generates answers when appropriate. In Manual Mode, an answer is generated only when you select Answer or press ⌥X. Typed Input Questions, screenshots, and the current interview context can all be used when creating the response.

End the interview

When the interview is finished, select Stop. Stop ends the session rather than pausing it. Your session and transcript are saved to History, and if Interview Report Generation is enabled, Copilot automatically begins preparing your report after the session ends.
