Placed and Final Round AI
Final Round AI is a desktop app whose main product, Interview Copilot, listens to a live interview and drafts answers on your screen while it happens. It also offers AI practice interviews. Placed only does practice: an AI interviewer before the real thing, and a scored report afterwards.

Side by side
Mainly during a real interview, as an on-screen assistant, plus practice sessions.
Before the interview. Placed has nothing that runs during a real one.
Practice scenarios including coding, system design and behavioral, with an AI debrief afterwards.
A timed round with a voice interviewer, an editor that runs your code in eight languages, and a scored report.
A free tier and a paid Pro plan; its pricing page lists live sessions and practice interviews under Pro.
Start without an account. A free account gets 3 scored interviews a month; Pro is unlimited.
Not a format it advertises.
Practice rounds where the interviewer gives you an assistant in a codebase and grades how you use it.
Where Final Round AI is the better choice
- More practice scenarios outside engineering, such as product cases, salary negotiation and recruiter screens.
- Per-job organisation: it keeps your resume, the job description and notes together for each application.
Where Placed is
- It is built to make you better at the interview, not to assist during it.
- Code that is executed against tests, not only discussed.
- Rounds modelled on the newer AI-enabled formats, with a rubric for how you verify the assistant's work.
Using both
Before using any assistant during a real interview, read the company's candidate guidance. Amazon and Anthropic, among others, say AI is not allowed in live interviews unless you are told otherwise. Placed's policy tracker lists what each company has said.
Questions people ask
Is it allowed to use an AI assistant during a real interview?
It depends on the company and the round. Amazon and Anthropic have said candidates should not use AI in live interviews unless told otherwise, while Canva expects AI use in some technical interviews. Check the company's guidance and ask your recruiter.
Does Placed work during live interviews?
No. Placed is a practice tool: mock interviews with an AI interviewer and a scored report afterwards.
