“Walk me through how you'd design idempotency for a high-throughput payments API.”
“Key every POST on a client UUID, store in Redis with a short TTL, return the cached response on replay.”
“Good. What if the TTL expires before the ledger commits?”

Common questions
The questions everyone asks first.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a blank chat — every time. Cruto remembers the role you applied to, drills you on the questions that company actually asks, runs the interview live with audio, scores you on a clear rubric, and gives you a verifiable cert at the end. It's a job-search workflow, not a chat window.
Where do the job listings come from?
We pull every day from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and ZipRecruiter into one ranked feed. You stop alt-tabbing between five tabs to find roles worth applying to.
Are my mock interviews private?
Yes — encrypted, visible only to you unless you choose to publish a cert page. The live audio streams directly between your browser and the AI, so we never store or even see the audio itself.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — one click from the Billing page or the email receipt. Credits issued for any platform issues.
Is the AI any good at this?
Live mocks use a real-time conversational AI tuned for natural back-and-forth — it follows up like a real interviewer, not a script. Test generation and job parsing route to the strongest model for each task. We retest continuously and swap to whatever's best.
Does this work for non-engineering roles?
Yes — pick from 6 interviewer types: HR, Senior Engineer, CTO, Product Manager, Engineering Manager, or Sales/BD. The mock adapts the questions and scoring to whatever role you tell us you're applying for.
Does Cruto auto-apply to jobs for me?
No — and we won't. Tools that mass-submit applications get filtered by recruiters and break job-board ToS. Cruto drafts the cover letter and tailors the resume; you press send. Then we prep you to actually win the interview. (Full argument: /blog/we-dont-auto-apply)
Does Cruto coach me live during a real interview?
No — and we won't. Live AI overlays get candidates disqualified when employers spot them, and they hollow out the credential. Cruto prepares you before the interview so you don't need a wire in your ear during it — the verified cert proves you know the answer, not that an AI fed it to you. (Full argument: /blog/we-dont-use-live-copilots)
Walk into your next interview knowing you've already nailed it once.
The free tier covers the whole loop — finding roles, drafting the application, a practice test, and 15 minutes of real live mock interview every month. No credit card.
