Has anyone tested InterviewMan on CodeSignal yet? Getting ready for my first live run, just anxious about whether the AI lag can keep up with the fast pace of the GCA timer.
Backend dev, been putting InterviewMan through a CodeSignal practice GCA this week to see how it handles the speed. I cant share a screen recording sorry, but I sat a few throwaway questions just to feel out the timing before I have to lean on it for an actual one.
Initial thoughts: the speed is really impressive for the price. The answers start streaming in while the prompt is still loading and its a one liner on screen in maybe two or three seconds in my testing. Those two things alone make it the one I'd want on a GCA in my opinion. Its becoming increasingly hard to find a helper that keeps pace under a clock that tight these days. So its interesting that the part I was most scared of, the timer, is the part it handles best.
Its a real desktop app and not a browser tab too (I tested this with CodeSignal locking the page down) and it works pretty well. But I'll have to test more to get a better idea of how it holds up late in a run. The detection is set to medium and the answer length to Short. Which is good and I quite like it because it means I get a quick nudge instead of a paragraph I have no time to read.
The screenshot capture grabs the problem diagram fast when the GCA wording is a mess. Theres a question detection sensitivity in there too which I found perfect for stopping it firing on every sentence. The answers on the harder problem are a touch slower but still in time. So I'll have to test more how it does when my brain is fried 50 minutes in.
So far it feels like the answer actually arrives in time to use and I love how quick it is. Feels well built and has the settings that make the speed work for a GCA specifically. Anyone here actually run it on a real CodeSignal GCA under the timer, would love a sanity check before tuesday.
