Check interview answer STAR structure
Behavioral interviews reward answers that walk a hiring manager through a clear story: what the Situation was, what Task you owned, what Action you took, and what Result you delivered.
Run — free
Many candidates ramble through context, skip the personal task, or end without a measurable outcome—and never notice the gap until feedback arrives too late. This STAR interview answer checker scans your draft with deterministic keyword and section-header heuristics for Situation, Task, Action, and Result, flags which parts appear missing, and returns a simple coverage score you can fix before the call. Empty text is rejected so blank submissions never look like a clean bill of health. The same pure logic powers the free browser tool and the API path at $0.002 per successful call, with no model tokens and no outbound network.

For developers — API access
Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.
API endpoint
Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.
