Real-time AI interview assistance at $9.99/mo — $39 less than Cluely. Audio processed in memory, never stored. No breach risk because there's nothing to breach.
In 2025, a security incident exposed data from over 83,000 Cluely users. The breach included interview session recordings and personal data stored on Cluely's servers — data that users trusted would stay private during sensitive job searches.
This incident highlighted a fundamental design risk in tools that store your audio and sessions on remote servers: any breach exposes not just your account details, but the content of your interviews.
EasyMockInterview's architecture doesn't have this attack surface. Audio is transcribed in-memory during a session and immediately discarded. Your resume is never uploaded. There are no stored session recordings to breach.
Breach data sourced from public reporting. We make no claims about the specific technical cause or Cluely's current remediation status.

You can't leak what you don't store. Here's how our architecture works.
Speech is transcribed in-memory during your session using Whisper running on your device. Nothing is written to disk. The moment your session ends, the audio is gone.
You paste your resume text into the app. It's used only within that session to personalize AI answers. It's never uploaded to any server or stored in any database.
Our backend only stores your Google ID, subscription status, and session count for free-tier enforcement. No content. No recordings. Nothing that could expose you.
A data breach requires data to exist on a server. Since we don't store your audio or resume, a breach of our backend would expose only account metadata — not your interview content.
No credit card required. Download in 30 seconds, paste your resume, and run your first real-time AI interview session — completely free.
