You can hear the answer.
But was it any good?
If you’re not a coder, every tech answer sounds fine. Interviewary listens during your Google Meet call and tells you — in plain English — whether the answer was strong or weak, and what to ask next. When the call ends, you get a simple hiring report.

Bring your own AI
Works with the AI you already trust.
A great answer and a memorized one sound exactly the same.
Most startups let a recruiter or founder run the first coding interview. They can read the questions out loud. But they can’t tell a real expert from someone who just memorized the right words. So the wrong people pass — and waste an engineer’s time later.
- ✕Every answer just sounds fine.
- ✕“Was that actually good?” — no idea.
- ✕You don’t know what to ask next.
- ✕Weak hires slip through to your engineers.
- ✓Each answer gets a score and a reason.
- ✓You see why it was strong or weak.
- ✓The next smart question appears in ~2 seconds.
- ✓A hiring report your engineers will trust.
From “hello” to a hiring call — without leaving the meeting.
Add the role
Open the side panel in Google Meet and paste in the job description and the candidate’s résumé. You instantly get 5–7 questions to start with — each with a note on what a good answer sounds like.
Just talk
Run the call like normal. Interviewary writes down what both of you say and keeps track of who said what, so you never lose your place.
See if it was good
The second the candidate stops talking, you get a score — Weak, Adequate, Strong, or Exceptional — with one line on why. Plus the next smart question to ask.
Get the report
Click End and download a clean report: a summary, every question with its score, strengths, concerns, and a clear hire / don’t-hire call — ready to share.
Everything you need to run the interview — nothing you don’t.
Instant answer scores
A score and a one-line reason pop up seconds after each answer — in plain words, not tech-speak.
The next question, ready
Smart follow-ups based on what was just said — so you can tell real know-how from rehearsed buzzwords.

Pick a plan & download
1 minChoose a subscription or lifetime plan. Right after checkout you’ll get a download link (also emailed) for your build — unzip it anywhere you’ll keep it, since Chrome loads the extension from that folder. - 2
Load it into Chrome
1 minOpen the extensions page, turn on Developer mode (top-right), click Load unpacked, and select the unzipped folder.Paste this into your address bar — Chrome won’t let pages link to it directly. Then pin Interviewary so it’s one click away.

Start interviewing
1 minBack on the setup screen, drop in the job description and candidate résumé, choose seniority (Junior / Mid / Senior) and type (Screening / Deep dive), and hit Start interview. Ratings and follow-ups start flowing as soon as the candidate talks.
Questions, answered.
Where does my data go?
Your interview content stays with you: audio, transcripts, and résumés are processed in your browser and sent only to your own Deepgram and LLM accounts, and your keys live in local storage. The only things we collect are the email you give us to download and — if you opt in — anonymous usage stats (never transcripts or answers). Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
What does it cost?
The extension is free. You pay your own usage-based API costs, which come to roughly $0.09 per interview for the LLM plus transcription — and Deepgram includes $200 of free credit when you sign up.
Which AI providers can I use?
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and xAI (Grok). You choose a fast model for live ratings and follow-ups, and a higher-quality model for the end-of-call report.
Does it work on Zoom or Teams?
Not in this prototype — it’s built specifically for Google Meet, where it captures the call audio from the browser tab.
Why isn’t it on the Chrome Web Store?
It’s an early prototype, so you install it as an unpacked extension — download the bundle, then “Load unpacked” in Chrome. The setup section above walks through every step.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No — that’s the whole point. Every rating, follow-up, and report is written for someone who doesn’t know the underlying technology. The one technical-ish step is pasting in API keys, which the guide covers.
