Hone
What it is
Hone is a browser-based mock interview platform made by Zyne AI. Its real-time voice interviewer provides spoken interview practice, live coding with a voice tutor, and system design exercises on a whiteboard. Tracks include behavioral interviews, programming languages and frameworks, infrastructure, algorithms, AI/LLMs, system design, and engineering leadership. During sessions, the interviewer asks follow-up questions and requests specifics when answers are vague. Afterward, users receive a score from 0–100, a written summary, strengths, and areas to improve, with feedback citing moments from their answers. Most sessions allow easy, medium, or hard difficulty selection. Hone requires no installation. Every account receives five interviews per month on any track at no charge and without a card. The Free plan is free, while Pro costs $99 a month and provides unlimited interviews. The listed platform is web.
