FAQ
Straight answers
Including the ones that aren't in our favour.
- Does the interviewer see or hear Precognia?
- No. Precognia runs entirely in your own browser tab, alongside your meeting. It never joins the call, never appears as a participant, and never plays audio. Nothing is sent into the meeting — it only listens and shows answers on your screen.
- Does it work on Zoom, Google Meet and Teams?
- Yes — anything that runs in a browser tab. When you start a session your browser asks which tab to share; you pick your meeting tab and tick 'Also share tab audio'. That checkbox is how Precognia hears the interviewer, so it's the one step worth remembering.
- Can I use this on my phone?
- Not for live sessions, and we'd rather tell you now than after you've paid. Capturing another app's audio is something mobile browsers simply do not allow — it's a platform restriction on iOS and Android, with no workaround. Live sessions need a laptop or desktop browser. Everything else works great on mobile: uploading your resume, editing your stories, and reading back your past sessions and answers.
- How fast are the answers?
- Seconds. The answer starts appearing as it is generated, so you can begin reading almost immediately rather than waiting for a finished block of text.
- Where do the answers come from?
- Your own material. Precognia grounds every answer in the resume, job description and background stories you've added, so what comes back sounds like your experience rather than generic interview advice. The more you give it, the more specific it gets.
- Is using this cheating?
- That's your call to make, and it depends on the interview. Our honest view: it's the same kind of help as notes next to your keyboard or a prepared story list — it just keeps up with the conversation. It can't invent experience you don't have. Some assessments explicitly forbid outside help, and you should respect those.
- What happens to my interview data?
- Everything is private to your account. We use access controls to prevent other users from reading your sessions, transcripts and documents. You can delete a session whenever you like.
- What do I need to get started?
- A Google account, a desktop browser, a resume or background document, and the job description for the role. Precognia uses that material to generate answers grounded in your real experience, so you'll add it before creating your first session.
