ParakeetAI 2.0 Review: Prepare for Interviews, Then Get Live Help in the Call
ProductivityFreemiumParakeetAI 2.0 pairs a real-time AI call assistant for interviews with a preparation suite: mock interviews that talk back, a company-level question bank, a resume maker and headshots, all from one account.
About ParakeetAI
ParakeetAI 2.0 is the updated version of the interview assistant, and the headline change is breadth. Where the original product focused on real-time help during a live call, 2.0 adds the preparation half: mock interviews that practise out loud against an AI interviewer which talks back, a Question Bank of candidate-reported questions grouped by company and ranked by how often they come up, plus a resume maker and AI headshots for the same profile. The first mock is free, which makes the prep side easy to test. The live side still works as before. The assistant listens during the call, transcribes it, and serves answer suggestions in real time while documents you upload per session stay in context. When a meeting locks to a scheduling link, ParakeetAI detects the start automatically. After the call it keeps an AI-written summary, and for technical interviews it listens for coding questions and reads the code visible on screen, with platforms such as HackerRank, LeetCode and CoderPad covered. On platforms, the assistant runs in Windows and macOS desktop apps and in the browser, with a mobile-optimised web version; the vendor states a native mobile app is on the way. You can pick the model behind the answers, between Gemini, GPT and Claude, a practical touch for anyone wary of a single provider. The free entry is real: a 10-minute live session and the first mock interview both cost nothing and need no card. After that, usage is credits, where half a credit buys a 30-minute session or mock and packs run from one credit at $25 to 6 plus 2 free credits at $78, or an Unlimited subscription at $99.90 per month, or $399.90 per year. Individual prep tools, the resume maker, headshots and the Question Bank, are also offered separately at $15.30 per month each. One honest caveat. Live AI assistance inside an interview is only appropriate where the process allows it, and the vendor's own FAQ says exactly that: check the rules of the call you are in first. Used as what it is, preparation plus transparently-permitted call help, it is a much fuller tool than the chat-only original.

Pros
- The first mock interview and a 10-minute live session are free with no card
- Mock interviews come with an AI interviewer that answers back, plus a full transcript to review
- The Question Bank lists candidate-reported questions per company, ranked by how often they come up
- Runs on Windows and macOS desktop apps, in the browser and on mobile web, with a model choice of Gemini, GPT or Claude

Cons
- Unlimited is $99.90 per month and single credits cost $25, which is expensive for occasional mock practice
- Live assistance may breach the rules of an interview or exam; the vendor's own FAQ tells users to check first
- Question Bank depth depends on candidate-submitted questions rather than company-provided data
- No native iOS or Android app yet, so the mobile experience is browser-based
- The “100% accurate responses” wording on the site is marketing language that cannot be verified
