Before Sparrow-0, AI would interrupt or lag, making conversations feel really awkward. Now, they adapt to each user’s rhythm, making mock interviews flow effortlessly. Our users engage longer, have more in depth conversations, and get a practice experience that truly prepares them for the real thing.
