  "account": "InterviewBuddy AI is an innovative AI-powered mock interview partner designed to assist users in preparing for various data analyst, data executive, and MIS executive interviews. A common issue faced by users is finding reliable interview partners who are consistently available to conduct realistic interviews, ask follow-up questions, and provide valuable feedback. This is where InterviewBuddy AI steps in by transforming a user's resume into a personalized interview practice session.\n\nTo utilize InterviewBuddy AI, a user needs to follow these steps:\n1. Upload their resume in TEXT, PDF, or DOCX format.\n2. Choose their target job role.\n3. Select an interview difficulty level.\n4. Generate personalized interview questions based on the provided resume, role, and difficulty.\n5. Answer the generated questions in an interactive interview session.\n6. Receive AI feedback on each answer, including strengths, areas for improvement, missing points, and suggestions.\n7. Review a final practice report and a concise improvement plan.\n8. Store interview-session information locally using SQLite.\n\nThe core idea behind InterviewBuddy AI is not to replace a real interviewer but to provide a consistent, always-available practice partner. This allows users to practice repeatedly without the need for another person to be consistently available for each interview session. The demo video showcases the user flow, starting from resume upload, selecting a job role, generating AI-generated interview questions, answering the questions, receiving AI feedback, and finally reviewing the final practice report.",
