STAR Coach
STAR Coach is an AI-powered interview preparation tool that helps candidates develop compelling STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) answers for behavioural interviews.
Rather than generating generic responses, it coaches you through your own experiences to surface the stories that matter most for each role.
How it works
- Upload or paste a job description
- AI extracts 4-8 key competencies the role requires
- Work through each competency in a focused coaching conversation
- Your STAR answer builds in real-time as you talk
- Export polished answers ready to practise
What it helps with
- Identifying which experiences best demonstrate each competency
- Articulating impact clearly and concisely
- Connecting your stories to what the role actually needs
- Building confidence through structured preparation
What it doesn’t try to do
- Write answers for you
- Generate fictional experiences
- Replace genuine reflection on your career
- Provide one-size-fits-all responses
The philosophy
Most interview prep tools focus on output - giving you scripts to memorise. STAR Coach focuses on process - helping you find and articulate your own stories.
The conversations are deliberately short (4-6 exchanges per competency). The goal is clarity, not volume.
Status and direction
STAR Coach is live and functional. The core flow - JD analysis, competency extraction, coached conversations, real-time STAR building - is complete.
Session persistence means you can pick up where you left off. Multi-format document support (Word, PDF, PowerPoint) makes it easy to work with job descriptions however you receive them.
