Interview practice
Practise your interview with a friend, with each question on screen
Ask a friend to play the interviewer on a normal video call. Trippi Cue shows every question they ask as text, so an accent or a bad connection does not cost you the question, and a short structure for your answer next to it.

For practice, not for the real thing
This page is about rehearsal. Use Trippi Cue to practise with a friend until the answers come easily. Then go into the real interview on your own. Many interviews do not allow outside help, and that rule is yours to follow.
How it works
A practice call in four steps.
No special app and no practice platform. You use the video call you already have, with a real person asking the questions.
Find a friend and a call
Ask a friend, a classmate or a colleague to play the interviewer. Start a call in Google Meet, or in Zoom or Teams in the browser. Send them a few questions before, or let them ask whatever they like.
Write one line about the role
Open the Cue window and type the job into “About this meeting”: the role, the level, one thing you want to talk about. The answers then fit your interview, not every interview.
Click the icon when the call starts
Chrome gives the sound of a tab to an extension only after a real click on its icon. Nothing starts listening on its own.
Your friend asks, you answer
When a question is put to you, it appears as text, with a short structure for the answer next to it. Glance at it, then answer out loud in your own words. Then do the next one.
One card
What you see when your friend asks.
Trippi Cue
Practice call
Heard in the call
“So, tell me about a time you had to learn something new very fast.”
The same line, your language
“Cuéntame de una vez en que tuviste que aprender algo nuevo muy rápido.”
Suggested answer
Pick one real case. Say what you had to learn and why there was no time, how you learned it, and what you delivered at the end.
An illustration of one card, not a screenshot. Translation is on by default and uses the language you pick.
The card does not tell your story for you. It cannot: it does not know your life. It gives you the order to tell it in, which is what goes missing when you are nervous.
Accents and fast speakers
Read the question you did not quite hear.
In a real interview the hard part is often not the answer. It is the question: a strong accent, a fast speaker, a bad microphone, and half a sentence is gone. In practice, Cue writes every question down as it was heard, so you can check a word instead of guessing.
Each line also appears in your own language, and the suggested answer is written in the language you pick. Speech recognition is not perfect either: a very strong accent or bad audio can be misheard. The text shows exactly what was heard, so you can see when that happened.
About this meeting
Practice for a junior data analyst interview, in English. I want to talk about my university project with sales data.
One line before the call. It travels with each question, so the answers fit your role. It is kept with the call text for 30 days and then deleted.
Ways to practise
Three drills that make the practice count.
Reading a card is easy. The goal is to not need it. These three ways of running a practice call get you there faster.
Answer it twice
First answer with the card in front of you. Then ask your friend to repeat the question, close the window and answer again without it. The second answer is the one you are practising for.
The accent round
Ask someone with a different accent to play the interviewer, or ask your friend to speak faster than feels polite. Read the question on screen when you miss a word, and notice how often you needed it.
The follow-up drill
After every answer your friend asks one more thing: “Why?”, “What would you change?”, “And if it failed?”. Real interviews live in the follow-up, and it is the part people rehearse least.
Honest limits
What it does not do in a practice call.
Better to know this before you ask a friend for an hour of their evening.
It does not hear your answer
Cue listens to the call tab, not to your microphone. It hears your friend and not you, so it cannot tell you how you did. The feedback comes from your friend.
It is not an AI interviewer
There is no robot asking questions and no score at the end. A person asks, and Cue does what it does on any call: it shows the question and a way to start the answer.
Browser calls only
Google Meet, and Zoom or Teams in the browser, on a computer. The desktop Zoom and Teams apps are outside a browser tab, and an extension cannot reach them.
The card is a suggestion
A language model writes it from the last minutes of the call. It can be wrong. Treat it as a hint about shape, and say the content in your own words.
FAQ
Practice calls, specifically.
Is this an AI mock interview?+
No. The interviewer is a real person: your friend. Cue shows the question they asked as text and suggests a short structure for your answer. A person gives better practice anyway, because a person follows up, interrupts and has an accent.
Can I use it in my real interview?+
This page is about practice, and that is how we suggest you use it: rehearse with it, then go into the real interview on your own. Many interviews do not allow outside help, and knowing the rules of yours is on you.
Do I need an account to start?+
No. You add the extension to Chrome and click its icon in the call. An account is only needed if you buy a plan and want it to work on more than one computer.
Does it tell me how well I answered?+
No. Cue does not capture your microphone, so it never hears your answer and cannot grade it. Ask your friend for feedback after each question; that is the part of practice a tool cannot do.
Can I practise alone?+
Not really. Cue needs someone speaking in the call tab, and it works in Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls. You need at least one other person on the call to ask the questions.
What if the interview will not be in my first language?+
Then practise in that language. Every line your friend says also appears in your language, and the suggested answer is written in the language you choose. That makes it a good way to get used to questions in a second language.
Is the practice call recorded?+
No. No audio reaches our servers and no file is made. The recognised text and the suggested answers are kept for 30 days so we can check why an answer was poor, and then they are deleted.
