PortLume AI
Your AI copilot to ace interviews and learn from rejections.
PortLume AI is the only platform that doesn’t just prepare you for interviews – it diagnoses exactly why you failed your last one and builds a personalised recovery plan. Mock interviews with real company questions, cross‑session intelligence, recruiter analytics, and a full job tracker. Built specifically for software engineers.
Most interview tools hand you a list of generic questions.
PortLume AI is completely different: after your real interview, you paste the rejection email and what you remember being asked. The AI analyses your performance, cross-references it with your past mock sessions, and tells you stage‑by‑stage what went wrong – along with a concrete recovery plan to close every gap before your next shot.
It’s like having a senior recruiter and a career coach in your pocket.
Rejection Debrief (Unique to PortLume AI)
Got rejected? Paste the email + recalled questions. Get a round‑by‑round breakdown, the hidden evaluation criteria for each question, and a personalised reapply checklist.
AI Recruiter Simulator
Mock interviews using real questions pulled from Glassdoor, AmbitionBox, LeetCode, and our own community reports for your exact company and role. Includes per‑answer tone coaching, follow‑up pressure, and a final Recruiter Report Card with a readiness score.
Interview Intelligence
After 2+ sessions, it builds your personal pattern map – which question types you consistently fail, whether your confidence is improving, and what’s holding you back. No other tool does this.
Company Intelligence
Before you even apply: see salary ranges (from Levels.fyi & AmbitionBox), interview round structures, difficulty ratings, and what recent candidates were asked. Includes a salary comparison tool and interview timeline predictor.
Recruiter Analytics
Real‑time alerts when a hiring manager opens your portfolio, which projects they clicked, and how long they stayed. Know when interest is hot.
Job Application Tracker
One pipeline for every application, stage, deadline, and follow‑up. Auto‑detects ghosted applications.
Behavioural Bank (STAR Stories)
Generates 7 personalised STAR stories from your actual resume and projects. One‑click practice your weak spots.
Instant “Laid Off” Mode
Adapts difficulty, tone, and urgency to your exact situation. If you have 2 weeks until an interview, it jumps straight to high‑signal topics.

Why we built it
We’re engineers ourselves. We’ve been through the brutal cycle of applying, interviewing, getting ghosted, and never knowing what went wrong. Existing tools either give you generic questions or cost hundreds for a human coach. We wanted a single copilot that uses real data, gives brutally honest feedback, and actually helps you improve between interviews.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Adarsh Sharma, the solo builder of PortLume AI.
I built this after getting rejected from many interviews and never understanding why. I’d practice, but the real questions were always different – and I had no way to know what the interviewer was actually looking for.
PortLume AI is my attempt to fix that. It’s brutally honest: you paste your rejection email, recall what you were asked, and it gives you a stage‑by‑stage breakdown of what likely went wrong – plus a concrete recovery plan.
It also simulates real interviews using community‑reported questions (our own users’ data is often fresher than Glassdoor), gives you tone coaching, and after a few sessions it surfaces your persistent weak spots across multiple interviews.
Free tier gives you 1 full mock session (with the same AI scoring as Pro), 1 rejection debrief diagnosis, and a job tracker – no card required. I’d love your feedback!
