Workflow Steps

Step 1: Company Researcher Agent

The Company Researcher Agent gathers information about the target company:

# Research company culture, recent news, and interview patterns
company_info = {
    "name": "Acme Corp",
    "industry": "SaaS",
    "recent_news": [...],
    "interview_format": "Technical + Behavioral + Case",
    "common_questions": [...]
}

Step 2: Role Analyzer Agent

The Role Analyzer Agent identifies key skills and experiences needed:

# Analyze job description for key competencies
role_requirements = {
    "technical_skills": ["Python", "System Design", "SQL"],
    "soft_skills": ["Communication", "Leadership", "Problem-solving"],
    "experience_level": "Senior (5+ years)"
}

Step 3: Question Generator Agent

The Question Generator Agent creates likely interview questions:

# Generate questions based on role and company
questions = {
    "technical": [
        "Design a URL shortening service",
        "Explain the time complexity of quicksort",
        "How would you optimize a slow database query?"
    ],
    "behavioral": [
        "Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate",
        "Describe a challenging project and how you handled it",
        "How do you prioritize competing deadlines?"
    ],
    "company_specific": [
        "Why do you want to work at Acme Corp?",
        "How would you improve our product?"
    ]
}

Step 4: Mock Interviewer Agent

The Mock Interviewer Agent conducts simulated interviews:

# Interactive mock interview session
interview_session = MockInterviewSession(
    interviewer="Claude",
    format="technical",
    duration_minutes=45
)

# The agent asks questions, listens to responses, and provides real-time feedback

Step 5: Feedback Agent

The Feedback Agent provides detailed performance feedback:

feedback_report = {
    "strengths": [
        "Clear communication of technical concepts",
        "Good problem-solving approach"
    ],
    "areas_for_improvement": [
        "Could elaborate more on trade-offs",
        "Need to ask clarifying questions earlier",
        "Time management could be better"
    ],
    "score": 7.5,
    "recommendations": [...]
}

Step 6: Study Planner Agent

The Study Planner Agent creates a personalized preparation schedule:

study_plan = {
    "week_1": ["System Design fundamentals", "Company research"],
    "week_2": ["Practice 5 technical questions", "Mock interview #1"],
    "week_3": ["Behavioral questions practice", "Mock interview #2"],
    "week_4": ["Final review", "Mock interview #3", "Rest and prepare"]
}
