Getting Started/Introduction

Introduction

Understand GankInterview's product positioning, use cases, and standard workflow before entering specific feature pages.

What is GankInterview

GankInterview is an AI interview and coding-test assistant for job-search scenarios. It supports interview practice, coding-test assistance, material management, and review.

The system connects preparation, training, records, and review into one workflow, reducing the cost of moving from temporary practice to real interview scenarios.

The desktop client is the recommended default entry and covers the complete coding-test and interview training flow. The web experience is for quickly validating sessions and lightweight trials.

Use cases

The product is most useful when you want a stable job-search training rhythm instead of using scattered tools. Common use cases include:

  1. Intensive training before interviews: high-frequency Q&A, follow-ups, and review around target roles.
  2. Coding-test preparation and problem practice: collect common problem types and build reusable training material.
  3. Process records and staged review: review training results by timeline and continuously improve delivery and problem-solving strategy.

Standard workflow

For first-time setup and later reuse, follow this order:

  1. Complete installation and login: make sure device, permissions, and account status are available.
  2. Run pre-interview checks: verify stealth, voice, network, and input/output flow.
  3. Start training: prefer the desktop client for training and preparation.
  4. Review records: use interview and exam records to improve the next round.

Quick start

After completing the first validation round in the order "installation and login -> practical preparation -> desktop quick start," you can enter your daily training rhythm.

If this is your first time using the product, complete one full mock flow first, then begin role-specific practice.

Core features

Core capabilities cover AI Interview Assistant, coding-test assistance, question-bank practice, and stealth features.

Understand the purpose and boundary of each module first, then combine them into your own training path. Stealth-related capabilities should be rehearsed and checked before formal scenarios.

Before a formal interview

Before a formal interview, complete a full-chain check for device, permissions, runtime flow, and fallback plan.

This step directly affects live stability, especially voice input, transcript quality, and interview record completeness.

Common settings

Configure the basics first, then adjust shortcuts, models, and knowledge-base settings gradually.

Keep the default setup stable before optimizing personal preferences. Avoid changing too many items at once, because it makes troubleshooting harder.
