An AI copilot for live coding interviews
Live coding interviews are the hardest place for AI to help — the context is a shared editor, the clock is running, and there's no time to copy-paste anything into a chatbot. A real-time copilot closes that gap by watching the editor with you.
What it does during a round
It sees the shared editor — the prompt, your code as you write it, the interviewer's comments — and hears the conversation. Ask it anything mid-problem and it answers inside that context: complexity analysis, edge cases you haven't covered, a cleaner decomposition.
Because it keeps session memory, it remembers what you already tried. 'We ruled out a hash map earlier because of ordering' — it won't suggest the dead end twice.
The uncertainty display matters more here
In an interview, presenting a guess as a fact is worse than no answer. LivePair's HUD shows live confidence — when it says 'O(n log n)' you can see whether that's grounded in your actual code or pattern-matched from similar problems. Weigh the suggestion accordingly.
An honest note on fairness
Companies differ on AI assistance in interviews — some explicitly allow copilots, others treat it as cheating. Know the policy before you rely on it. LivePair is just as strong for mock interviews and practice, where building the habit of reasoning with a copilot is itself the skill.
What it costs
Live sessions bill by the hour — $10/hour, 1 to 5 hours — and the agent chat runs on prepaid credits from $5. See the pricing section and the interview copilot guide.
