Product Hunt is featuring Toby, an online learning tool built around AI voice agents and realtime voice AI for job interviews. The pitch is simple: paste in a job description, let Toby research the company, and then talk through questions on a Meet, Teams or Zoom-style call.
After the call, Toby hands back a scored debrief and a stronger version of each answer. The company says it keeps the rewrite grounded in the user’s own words, which is a smart constraint. Interview prep tools get shaky the second they start inventing a candidate’s voice for them.
Toby also comes with two modes. Real mode runs the session straight through, while Coach mode pauses to give a note and a retry. That split matters because some people want the pressure of the real thing, and others just want a chance to clean up a bad answer without starting over.
The pricing is unusual too. There’s no subscription; instead, it charges 50p a minute on a call, with the first 5 minutes free. On Product Hunt, it’s tagged for hiring, artificial intelligence and careers, which is about as on-the-nose as launch tags get.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is exactly the kind of AI product that makes sense: narrow, useful, and a little brutal about the process it’s aimed at. Hiring has always been a performance, so a coach that rehearses the performance is hardly shocking. The real test is whether people want honesty with a timer attached, or just a nicer way to hear themselves panic.
