About The Project

This project is designed to simulate a job interview environment, where a user can practice answering interview questions tailored to a specific job role. Here’s a breakdown of the project:

User Interaction:

• Job Title Input: The user types in a job title they are interviewing for
• Interview Flow: The AI Interviewer, powered by Google Gemini, will ask a series of questions, starting with “Tell me about yourself.” The subsequent questions will be dynamically generated based on the user’s responses, focused on the specific job title entered.
• User Response Input: After each question, the user provides a response in a textbox.
• Submission: Once the user answers, they can submit their response, which is then sent to Gemini for evaluation.

AI Functionality:

• The AI Interviewer will ask at least 6 questions, based on the job title and user responses.
• At the end of the interview, Gemini will provide feedback on how well the user answered the questions and suggest areas for improvement.

Generative AI Use:

• The project utilizes Google Gemini, which powers the AI Interviewer to ask tailored questions and assess the user’s responses based on the job title provided.

Purpose: This tool aims to help users prepare for job interviews by simulating real-world interview scenarios, offering personalized feedback, and improving their interview skills.
