Real-Time, Clean Code Assistant for Live Technical Interviews

Niche Opportunity Analysis

• Opportunity: The user's experience with a generic AI tool during a mock interview was a disaster—unusable, poorly formatted code that only added to the stress and led to failure. This highlights a clear need for a specialized AI coding assistant designed specifically for the high-pressure environment of live technical interviews. The key issue isn't just getting an answer; it's about receiving clean, well-formatted, and context-aware code that a candidate can understand, adapt, and present naturally, without any obvious signs of using a "cheating" tool. The user's desire to "build my own" is the ultimate validation of this unmet need.

• Product Form (SaaS): A subscription-based service, likely delivered as a discreet browser extension or a desktop overlay application. Key features would include:

  1. Interview-Grade Code Generation: Outputs perfectly formatted, syntactically correct, and human-readable code.
  2. Stealth Mode UI: An unobtrusive interface that doesn't draw attention to itself.
  3. Step-by-Step Logic Explanation: Provides not just the code, but a clear explanation of the thought process, allowing the user to genuinely understand and defend the solution.
  4. Customization: Ability to match the user's preferred coding style (e.g., variable naming conventions, comment style).

• Expected Revenue: The target market consists of highly motivated job seekers like software engineers, data scientists, and students who are willing to invest in tools that give them a competitive edge. A monthly subscription model priced at $19-$39 is reasonable. Even capturing a small segment of this market (e.g., 2,000-3,000 users) could generate a Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) of $40,000 - $120,000.
