Interview Warmup is a new tool developed by Google that uses artificial intelligence to help people prepare for job interviews.
It asks common interview questions and transcribes answers in real-time as part of Google’s Grow with Google and Career Certification initiatives.
Interview Warmup was created to help Google Career Certificate students prepare for job interviews, but it is now available to anyone.
Users can practice answering questions commonly asked in interviews, as well as job-specific questions chosen by an expert in that field, using voice-to-text or the keyboard.
The tool then evaluates the responses and makes recommendations for improvement.
Interview Warmup currently has field-specific questions for Information Analytics, E-Commerce, IT Help, Project Administration, UX Design, and Basic.
There are three types of questions in the Interview Warmup:
- Background information, including previous training and experience
- Situational – how specific situations have been handled in the past and maybe handled in the future
- Technical – covers knowledge and skills, and is frequently used to test how hypothetical problems would be handled.
Responses are analyzed and insights are provided by machine learning
Google’s algorithm will use machine learning to identify patterns and generate insights in a user’s answers, in addition to allowing for personal review. Among them are:
- Job-related terms, highlight words in responses that are relevant to the field.
- Most-used phrases, highlight phrases that have been repeated three times or more and suggest alternatives.
- Google’s artificial intelligence is used by Talking Points to identify key points in responses, such as skills, experience, and lessons learned.
“Insights help you discover patterns in your answers,” according to the FAQ page for Interview Warmup. “They don’t ‘grade’ your answer or tell you which parts are correct or incorrect. The job-related terms you use, your most-used words, and the talking points you cover are all examples of insights.”

Although users can manually copy or download a transcript after an interview session, Google does not save audio or transcripts. This feature is currently available only in the United States.
Because Interview Warmup was created for Google Career Certificates students, you may encounter questions unique to each certificate. The tool, on the other hand, is free to use and contains general questions that can be applied to a variety of fields.
According to Google, more than 70,000 people have received a certificate, and 75% of graduates report positive career outcomes within six months of graduation.
