Business owner Interview Preparation Guide
Preparation without pressure doesn't build interview confidence
Reading your notes and visualizing success feels productive, but it doesn't replicate the cognitive load of a real interview.
Confidence comes from doing the thing repeatedly under realistic conditions—not from thinking about doing the thing.
You need practice that creates the same mental pressure as a real interview, or you're not actually preparing.
Why existing solutions don't solve this
Notes don't talk back
Bullet points and outlines give you structure, but they don't create conversational flow. You still end up talking at the camera.
Teleprompters flatten delivery
Reading from a script makes you sound robotic. It removes the natural pauses, reactions, and follow-up thinking that make content engaging.
'Just practice' doesn't solve structure
Recording yourself multiple times without feedback doesn't improve the underlying problem: there's no one to guide the conversation.
Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking
The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'
Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.
Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.
Olyetta: An AI interviewer that creates conversational structure
Olyetta is designed to solve the core problem: you need someone to talk with, not just talk at.
It asks follow-up questions, responds to what you actually say, and maintains the conversational loop that makes content engaging.
This isn't a prompt generator or a teleprompter. It's a system that actively participates in the conversation.

Reacts to your answers in real-time, digging deeper into interesting points instead of moving through a static list.
