Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 We built Akalan because traditional interview prep is fundamentally broken for the modern world. Right now, candidates spend weeks reading question banks, memorizing STAR-method answers, and watching video tutorials. But the moment they sit in front of an AI interviewer with zero human social cues, they freeze or ramble. Knowing what to say is not the same as performing under pressure. Pilots don't prepare for flight by just reading manuals. They spend hours in flight simulators until execution becomes second nature. We believe interview preparation should work the exact same way. Akalan is built as a performance platform: 1. Realistic AI Simulations: Experience the exact dynamics, pacing, and pressure of AI-led interviews. 2. Deep Performance Analysis: Pinpoint communication blind spots, rambling, and structural flaws. 3. Targeted Repetition: Run simulations repeatedly to measure progress and build real confidence. We have already run over 1,000 simulations with 100+ early users and 5+ partner institutions. Today, we are opening it up to the entire Product Hunt community. Jump in, run a simulation, and let us know: what felt realistic, and what can we make even better? We will be in the comments all day!
