Practice for the YC interview
I've been blown away by speech-to-speech LLMs lately and was looking for a fun little website to build. Enter mock YC interviews. When I first applied to YC, I used iPG (https://jamescun.github.io/iPG/) to practice and get comfortable with the YC-style interview. Spoiler: I ended up getting in. This took me a few hours to go from scratch to production. Would highly suggest playing around with some of the latest products (this uses Vapi.ai/elevenlabs.io)

In plain words
Practice for the YC Interview is a web-based tool that simulates Y Combinator-style interviews using speech-to-speech AI technology. It allows entrepreneurs to practice pitching and answering interview questions through realistic conversational interactions powered by Vapi.ai and ElevenLabs. The tool is designed for founders preparing for YC applications who want to build confidence and improve their interview performance before the real thing.
