The questions everyone asks first.

ChatGPT is a blank canvas. Cruto is a complete prep workflow tied to a specific role. When you save a job, every next step — tailored cover letter, practice test, live mock interview, scored debrief — knows the company, the role, and your resume. No setup, no copy-pasting context every session. Use ChatGPT for one-off questions. Use Cruto when you're in an active search and need to win a specific offer.

We aggregate from the major boards daily into a single ranked feed. When the same role appears in multiple places, we deduplicate it. Every listing is scored against your resume so the top of your feed reflects where you have the strongest fit — not just what's new.

Day one is a starting point — the signal improves quickly as you save and dismiss roles. Each decision refines what surfaces next. You can also fine-tune filters (location, remote preference, employment type) at any time, and the feed updates immediately.

When your session ends, the full transcript is evaluated against a structured rubric: depth of answers, communication clarity, how you handled pressure questions, and cues specific to the interviewer type. The 0–100 score is the rubric average. Don't fixate on the number — the written strengths and areas-to-improve commentary is where the real coaching lives.

Yes. Your cert lives at a permanent public URL that anyone can open. It pulls from the live session record in real time — no static PDF that could be doctored. A recruiter sees exactly what you see: score, role, interviewer type, strengths, and what to work on. Unpublish any time; the link goes dark immediately.

No — and we won't. Mass-submit tools get candidates filtered out before a human ever reads their name. Cruto drafts the cover letter and sharpens the resume; you choose when and where to send it. Then we make sure you're ready to win the interview when it comes. (/blog/we-dont-auto-apply)

No — and we won't. Real-time AI prompts get candidates disqualified the moment an employer notices, and they undermine the credential entirely. Cruto builds your readiness before you walk in. The verified cert proves the answers came from you — not a tool running in the background. (/blog/we-dont-use-live-copilots)

Yes. Transcripts are encrypted and only visible to you unless you choose to publish a cert. Publishing is opt-in, per session — nothing is ever made public without a deliberate action on your part. Live audio travels directly between your browser and the AI; we never store or receive the audio itself.

We read your resume once at upload, retain the text we need to match you to roles, and discard the original file. You can view, edit, or delete what we kept at any time from your profile.

No. We share only what's necessary with the services that power the platform — payments, authentication, AI scoring, the job feed, and the code environment — and only what each service actually needs. The full list is in our privacy policy.

Yes — Profile → Privacy & data → Download my data. You'll receive a portable file with everything we hold: profile details, completed interviews, transcripts, test attempts, and your saved jobs. It downloads straight to your browser.

Yes — Profile → Danger zone → Delete account. It's immediate and permanent: your profile, interview history, published certs, test attempts, and job pipeline are removed in one action. You may also want to revoke the sign-in connection from your identity provider.

Six. HR Recruiter — behavioral questions, culture fit, motivation. Senior Engineer — deep technical questions and follow-up pressure. CTO — leadership, strategy, and high-stakes tradeoffs. Product Manager — product sense, prioritization, execution. Engineering Manager — team dynamics, delivery, and mentoring. Sales & BD — pipeline, qualifying, and negotiation. Pick the persona closest to who you'll actually meet. Give us the role and company and the AI calibrates to that specific context.

Yes — as many times as your monthly minute pool allows. There's no per-session retry cap, just the monthly limit (15 min on Free, 150 min on Pro, 450 min on Elite). The best results come from completing a full session, sitting with the debrief, then giving it a day before you go again. That gap is where the improvement compounds.

5, 10, or 15 minutes. Shorter sessions are ideal for drilling one specific topic or story. The full 15-minute session mirrors the length and pacing of a real interview. All three draw from your monthly minute pool at face value.

Python, JavaScript, and Java. Your code runs in a real, isolated environment — not a simulated one — so the experience matches what you'd face in an actual take-home assessment. More languages are on the way.

Score 90 or higher on a completed mock interview and a Publish cert button appears on the debrief screen. There's no tier restriction — Free, Pro, and Elite users can all publish. The 90-point threshold is what makes the credential worth sharing rather than just a completion badge.

Hit Publish on the debrief screen and your session gets a permanent public URL. The page shows your score, the interviewer type, the target role, session length, your strengths, and what to improve. Share to LinkedIn or anywhere else right from that screen. Unpublish at any time — the link goes dark immediately.

Yes. Cancel from the Billing page in your account at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for — no surprise cut-offs.

We don't offer prorated refunds for unused time, but if something breaks on our end we'll credit the affected month on request. Reach us at hello@cruto.ai and we'll sort it out.

Live AI interviews take real resources to run, and keeping them available for everyone means we have to be thoughtful about capacity. Free is a genuine product, not a timed trial. Elite's 450-minute monthly ceiling covers roughly 30 full sessions — more than enough for any serious prep run.

Existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at for as long as the subscription stays active. If we raise the list price, you're grandfathered in. We'd rather reward loyalty than punish it.
