Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Everything you need to know about SayBuff's mechanics, dual delivery loop, credits, and security.
Philosophy & Dual Delivery
What is SayBuff?
SayBuff is an AI interview platform that turns what you say in a mock interview into a resume built to survive applicant tracking systems. You pick one of 29 specialized interviewers — covering engineering, product, design, data, finance, legal, marketing, operations, and HR — and answer by typing or speaking, with voice transcribed live through the browser's Web Speech API. Each interviewer keeps contextual memory across the session, so follow-up questions probe the reasoning behind your previous answer instead of restarting from a script. The session then delivers twice: a structured report scoring you across seven dimensions — integrity, technical depth, business acumen, logic, communication, crisis response, and delivery management — plus an upgraded resume built from the same conversation. It is not a template gallery, and it will not invent achievements: every claim is checked against your own words.
How does SayBuff differ fundamentally from ordinary resume template sites?
Standard resume tools only address "formatting" or superficially swap buzzwords; if your experience is thin, the output remains thin. SayBuff solves the "content" problem. By probing real decision logic, metrics, and outcomes during mock interviews, it unearths substantive highlights and streams them directly into an upgraded v2 resume in a full "simulation + dual delivery" loop.
Will the AI fabricate false achievements or hallucinate?
Never. This is our foundational principle. Job seekers eventually face real human interviewers; fabricated numbers collapse under questioning. SayBuff's AI strictly anchors all content to facts and rationale you personally stated, organizing causal links and metrics without ever inventing falsehoods.
Interview Experience & Mechanics
How do mock interviews work? Is voice supported?
Both text and voice inputs are supported. You can select interviewers across Technical, Hiring Manager, or HR roles. The interviewer asks progressive questions based on your resume and target job, probing deeply and maintaining contextual memory throughout the session.
What if I get stuck or don't know how to answer during an interview?
No need to worry. In real interviews getting stuck loses points, but in SayBuff's sandbox it is the best opportunity to discover blind spots. You can state it candidly; the AI guide will help you reframe the problem or document it in the report with targeted revision advice.
How do I update my resume after the interview ends?
Once completed, the system generates a structured interview report. Clicking "Apply to Resume" automatically extracts concrete details and creates an upgraded draft or branch for you to edit or export directly.
