The question bank is hand-curated from real YC interview questions that have been written about publicly over the years. The scoring rubric tries to reflect what those partners have said they look for.
The main limitation is obvious: it's a simulation of their public persona, not the actual person.

Since I plan to apply to YC as a solo founder, I decided to create something YC-related. That's how this YC interview simulator came about.
So I generated 9 personas (YC partners, current and legacy), cloned their voices with eleven labs and tried to recreate the environment of an interview.
Each partner has a unique style and questions, which adapt to what you answer. Also, there are different emotions you can see on partner's avatar based on how you answer.
At the end, there is a scoring, feedback and some additional learning tools you might read. Also it remembers you previous sessions and you can see the progress.
Free to use until my credits run out. No login.
I found it helpful for the application itself too. Or just chatting about ideas with different partners.
No affiliation to YC. Just a fun side project
