It's a fair question, and it deserves a fair answer rather than a sales pitch. The honest reply is: it depends what you use it for. There's a meaningful difference between using AI to prepare and to genuinely represent your real experience, and using it to fake skills you don't have. Here's how to think about it.
People have always prepared for interviews — mock sessions, cheat sheets, rehearsed stories, a friend firing questions at you. Using AI to practise, to organise what you already know, to calm your nerves, or to phrase a true story more clearly is, to many people, just a modern version of good preparation. There are also strong accessibility arguments: for non‑native English speakers, people with anxiety, or neurodivergent candidates, a little real‑time support can level a playing field that was never level to begin with. If the words are true to your actual experience, the argument goes, help expressing them isn't deception.
The other side is just as reasonable. An interview is meant to measure you — your knowledge, your judgement, how you think on your feet. If an AI is inventing experience you don't have, solving a live coding test you couldn't solve yourself, or feeding you expertise you'll be expected to demonstrate on day one, then it's misrepresenting your ability. That's not just against most companies' rules; it tends to backfire. You can talk your way into a role you can't actually do, and the gap shows up fast.
We built Wisptr to sit firmly on the honest side of this. It draws every answer from your real CV and experience and won't invent employers, projects or metrics you don't have — so you can stand behind every word. We think its best, most defensible uses are the ones that make you a better, calmer version of yourself:
We'd rather you win a role you can actually do than bluff into one you can't. Read our terms for the responsible‑use expectations, and always follow the rules of the specific interview or assessment you're in.

It depends how you use it. Using AI to practise, calm your nerves, or phrase true answers from your real experience is preparation. Using it to fake skills you don't have, or to solve a test meant to measure you, is misrepresentation.
It varies by employer and assessment. Many live coding tests explicitly prohibit outside help. Always check and follow the rules of the specific interview or assessment you're in.
No. Practising with AI is like rehearsing with a friend or doing a mock interview — a normal, widely accepted form of preparation.
