Realistic mock interviews with an AI hiring manager
Paste a job description. Toby researches the company, maps every round and interviews you on a Meet, Teams or Zoom-style call. Then you get a scored debrief and a stronger version of each answer, built only from what you said. Real mode runs it straight through; Coach mode gives a note and a retry. No subscription: 50p a minute on a call. First 5 minutes free.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Rob. Toby is the first product I've ever built myself end-to-end, and this is my first launch.
I've spent my career in product, and as most PMs will know, that means a notebook full of ideas which until recently just sat lost among the pages. AI coding tools changed that for me. Toby is the first idea I've taken from a sketch to something people can actually use and pay for, on my own.
Why this idea: I'm leaving my current role, and I've been sitting in interviews for my own replacement. Somewhere around the fourth one, I started wondering how candidates were preparing. Probably asking ChatGPT or Claude for a list of likely questions. But a list doesn't push back, and it can't tell you that your best example had no numbers in it. What they really needed was a practice run with me. So I wondered, could I automate myself?
Toby is the interview before the interview, and it works like this:
1. Paste the job description. Toby researches the company and maps every round, from recruiter screen to case. 2. Take the call in a Meet, Teams or Zoom-style room. Real mode runs it straight through. Coach mode gives you a note after each answer and a retry. 3. Get the debrief. A score against the role's rubric, the quote behind each score, pace and filler words, and a stronger version of each answer built only from what you actually said.
Pricing is simple. No subscription. You just pay 50p a minute for time on a call; briefs and debriefs are included.
As a first-time builder, the most useful thing you can give me is honesty: run one round for a role you actually want (or are hiring for), then tell me where the debrief was wrong. I still have a lot of work to do, but feedback would really help me out!
