ReadyLoop — Your Interview Preparation Hub

ReadyLoop is a workspace for each job you're preparing for — one place that holds your resume, the job description, and every preparation activity for that specific interview. Each workspace is a complete "interview target": start from your resume and the job posting, and work through blueprint, diagnostics, mocks, learning and readiness without ever losing your place.

Practice lives here now. Legacy Practice sessions, debriefs and outcome
learning were retired and rebuilt inside ReadyLoop — voice mocks, diagnostics,
story drills and the learning planner below cover that ground inside each
workspace. Your existing practice sessions and history are preserved.

What can I do in ReadyLoop?

  • Create a workspace per job — your targets are listed on the ReadyLoop home, where you can also duplicate, archive, restore or delete them
  • Review what was extracted from your resume and the job description, and correct anything that's wrong
  • Prepare in layers — blueprint, diagnostic, voice and video mocks, learning plans, stories, a prep plan and a readiness view, all scoped to that one job
  • Come back anytime — everything is saved as you go; nothing is lost between visits

Getting started: creating a workspace

Click New workspace and follow the four steps:

  1. Target job — give the target a title (e.g. "Frontend Engineer at Acme"), plus optional company and seniority. Click Create workspace.
  2. Your resume — upload a PDF or Word (.docx) file, up to 5 MB. Only exact text from it is transcribed — nothing is invented, and personal contact details are never kept. If it can't be parsed (for example a scanned image), a warning says so and you can Continue without a parsed resume and re-upload a text-based file later.
  3. Job description — paste the full description, Analyze job description, or Upload JD file. Analysis runs once, right then — no background queue, no fake progress bar.
  4. Analysis ready — real counts: "{n} pieces of evidence from your resume · {n} requirements from the JD". If nothing could be extracted, the page says so honestly ("The job description was analyzed but no requirements could be extracted from it."). Click Continue Preparation to open the workspace.

Start over and Cancel are always available. If you leave mid-flow, your progress is saved — a refresh resumes at the real step, and a completed step is never re-asked.

Inside a workspace

The workspace opens on its cockpit: the target's title, status badges (Active/Archived, Analysis ready/Partial analysis/No JD yet), Continue Preparation, Edit details, and — for archived workspaces — a Restore workspace notice.

The entry cards

Each preparation area is its own card, shown when it's available:

  • Interview Blueprint — "Open Blueprint"
  • Voice Mock — "Open Voice Mock"
  • Video Mock — "Open Video Mock"
  • Learning Planner — "Open Learning Planner"
  • Story Bank & Drills — "Open Story Bank"
  • Interview Readiness — "View Readiness"
  • Next best action — one recommended move, about how long it takes, with an Open preparation plan button
  • Open gaps — the root causes behind weak answers, with a View attempt link to the session

Any area that isn't enabled yet shows an honest card — "{X} is not enabled yet. Check back soon." — never a dead link.

Review details

The deep data behind your workspace — open it with Continue Preparation or the Show review toggle:

  • Resume & evidence — every extracted item is a literal fragment of your resume with its exact source shown. Each item carries a state badge (Extracted / Confirmed / Corrected / Rejected), and can be Confirm, Reject, or Correct; corrections keep the original text visible ("Corrected from: …"), so nothing is silently overwritten.
  • Job description & requirements — each requirement shows its supporting text from the JD and can be Accept, Reject, or Correct. Re-analyze JD creates a new version while carrying your review forward by matching text.

Interview Blueprint

Your preparation map: how the job's requirements map to competencies and the evidence in your resume — with honest gap badges (Big gap / Partial gap / Covered), each mapping showing its relevance, recency, specificity, and confidence — plus a predicted question set grouped into Must Master, Should Prepare, and Good to Know, with stage and difficulty labels.

You can Generate new version (each version is saved; "Latest prediction" and "Archived" badges show what's current). The system prediction set is fixed; Save a copy creates your own curated set, where you can rename, duplicate, archive, restore, delete, and Add a question. From here you can also Start Diagnostic.

Diagnostic Interview

A short, scored check-in that becomes a baseline for what to prepare first — "a starting point, not a prediction of interview success." Start or resume an attempt; each run is saved as Attempt {n} with its status and a Baseline band (strong / moderate / developing). Completed runs show where you're strong, where to focus first, and Start My Plan (takes you to the blueprint). Retry starts a fresh attempt — earlier ones are never changed. A blueprint is needed before the first diagnostic (the 409 link says so: "Generate the interview blueprint first").

Voice Mock

A spoken mock interview built on your blueprint questions. The interviewer adapts follow-ups to your answers, and coaching covers delivery only — never who you are.

  • Mock configurations — create one with a name, starting difficulty (Foundation / Applied / Stretch), question count (3–20), and minutes (5–60). A session keeps its own snapshot, so editing a configuration never changes a mock in progress. Start mock launches it.
  • During the session — a lobby ("Ready when you are"), then the interviewer asks and follows up. You answer by Use microphone or Type instead; the transcript tracks every exchange. The connection can drop and Reconnect picks up exactly where you left off.
  • After — "Mock complete" with a coaching panel (signals like pace, filler words, long pauses, repetition, answer length, rambling, staying on question — each "Worth a look" or "Looks fine", with "How this was measured"). Answer scores (6 dimensions), the answer coach (what worked / what hurt / recommended structure / try next), and gap diagnosis (knowledge, missing evidence, missing experience, reasoning, communication, structure, preparation — with severity and confidence) appear when enabled.
  • Session statuses are honest throughout: Ready to start / Listening / Thinking / Speaking / Paused / Reconnecting / Completed / Failed / Cancelled / Archived.

Video Mock

The same spoken mock with your camera on. The preview is live on screen while only your audio is transcribed — nothing is recorded or uploaded. Configurations come from the Voice Mock screen ("Open Voice Mock" if you have none yet). If the camera is denied, the mock continues as a video-marked session and the page says so.

Learning Planner

Turns diagnosed gaps — the why behind weak answers from your completed mocks — into a bounded plan of tasks (Understand, Worked example, Practice, Interview retry) with a total time estimate. Generate plan creates Plan v{n}; Regenerate archives the current plan and builds a new one; tasks you edit become "Your version". Each task links out to videos, courses, and official docs, and offers Re-answer in a mock — with the outcome compared to the original attempt ("Retry outcome: score up/down {n} vs the original attempt").

Preparation Plan

Ranked next-best actions from your readiness, gaps and practice, each with the reason in plain language ("Why: …"). Build plan creates a priority list; set an interview date first and it becomes a Build daily plan with day groups ("Day {n}" / "Flexible") and a mode badge. Mark items Done, Skip, or Reopen. If your data changes, the page honestly says "Your plan is out of date" with Refresh plan. Plans keep a History you can Restore or delete.

Story Bank & Drills

Your confirmed material as ready-to-tell stories — extracted drafts are verbatim, never invented. Extract from my material pulls stories in; New story creates one yourself. The Coverage card shows how many key competencies have an active story ("{covered}/{total} key competencies have an active story."). Stories carry a use case (Achievement, Failure, Conflict, Leadership, Ambiguity, Influence, Prioritization, Technical decision, Customer insight, Innovation) and a lifecycle (draft / active / archived — Activate, Restore to draft, Archive, Delete).

Weakness drill and Surprise drill pin the questions you need most — create a drill with pinned questions and Start drill (opens the voice session). Completed drill attempts stay in your session history even if you delete the configuration.

Interview Readiness

One explainable readiness view across factors from your evidence, mocks, stories and learning. Compute readiness creates a snapshot (the button reads Recompute once one exists); each compute writes a NEW snapshot — earlier results are never edited. The view shows the overall percentage with data confidence, computation date, and engine version, what's working, where to focus next, and every factor with its weight and score — or honestly "No data yet" when there isn't any. When some factors lack data, the weights are renormalized and the page says so. "Readiness measures preparation completeness and evidence quality — it is never a probability of getting the job."

Managing your workspaces

  • View / Duplicate — open a workspace or make a copy of a target
  • Archive / Restore — archiving keeps the workspace intact but read-only until you restore it ("This workspace is archived — restore it to keep making changes. Review stays visible below.")
  • Edit details — change the title, company or seniority from inside the workspace
  • Delete — removes the workspace and everything inside it permanently ("Delete this workspace?" → Delete permanently; this cannot be undone)
  • Status badges on each row (Active/Archived, Analysis ready/Partial analysis/No JD yet) tell you where each target stands at a glance
