2.0.2

New

Read up between sessions

Explore our new blog — packed with interview tips, breakdowns of common hiring patterns, and guides on how to get the most out of your practice sessions. Fresh content lands regularly.

Practice Mode is here for everyone

Jump straight into a quick, low-pressure practice run without committing to a full interview setup. Great for warming up or testing a single answer. Available to all users, no extra steps required.

Improved

Know exactly how much interview time you have left

The sidebar now shows your remaining interview time as a clear percentage, so you always know where you stand at a glance — no more guessing what the numbers mean.

2.0.1

New

Top up your credits without switching plans

Not ready to upgrade but need a bit more practice time? You can now purchase extra interview credits as a one-time add-on — no commitment, no plan change required.

Fixed

Camera no longer stays on after finishing a session

Your camera used to keep running when you landed on the feedback page. It now stops as soon as the session ends.

Tapping your profile picture on mobile now opens the sidebar

Each interviewer now asks the right mix of question types from the start

Sessions feel more true to each persona's style right away.

Signing up no longer triggers an unexpected page reload

A timing issue during onboarding caused credits to load late and flash the page. That's resolved.

Talk naturally. Real-time voice, no buttons.

Just speak — your AI interviewer responds instantly. Interrupt mid-answer, pause to think, or trail off. It behaves like a real conversation because it's built to. Three distinct interviewers, one tailored session.

New

Real-time conversational AI — no push-to-talk

Speak naturally and your interviewer responds in real time. Interrupt, pause, think out loud. Silences feel like silences, not loading spinners.

Three distinct AI interviewers — Sophia, Vince, and Daniel

Each has their own style, tone, and line of questioning. Preview their voices before you commit and find the one that challenges you most.

Three-step interview setup

Tell us the role, upload your resume and job description, and pick your interviewer. withLyra builds a tailored interview plan around your specific context — not a generic question bank.

Per-question feedback and "Help me improve this answer"

After every session, receive a breakdown of what landed and what didn't for each question. Tap "Help me improve" on any answer to see a stronger version side by side.

Account, history, and progress tracking

Sign up with your email and every session, transcript, and feedback report is saved to your account — accessible whenever you want to review it.

Flexible plans — free tier and paid upgrades

Get started for free. Upgrade when you want more sessions or deeper feedback. Manage your subscription or top up credits directly from your account.

Mic and camera check before every session

Before you begin, withLyra confirms your mic and camera are ready and walks you through granting access if needed. No surprises mid-interview.
