FAQs
Questions.
What does Bashmo cost?
Nothing. Everything is free to use: no card, no trial clock. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
Is this just an AI grading me?
Bashmo’s AI model scores each answer, against a fixed rubric rather than a feeling: structure (the order), specificity (names, numbers, the moment), impact (what changed) and ownership (what you did, not we). Then it writes the one fix that would lift that answer most. Every answer is read against the same four, so a better answer scores higher; the same answer said twice can still move by about half a point.
Who sees my answers?
You. Bashmo looks only if you report a problem. Your browser turns speech into text, and may send the audio to its own speech service to do it; Bashmo receives the text, never the audio. It travels encrypted (HTTPS) to Bashmo’s AI model, which scores it. It is never sold or shown to another user. It is stored encrypted on Microsoft Azure: seven days without an account, with one until you delete it. More in our privacy policy.
What does the 0–10 actually measure?
How ready this answer is to say in the room. Each of the four parts under the box gets 0, 1 or 2; the score is the coach’s overall read of the answer, not their sum. An 8 is the bar: at 8, Bashmo keeps it as your best answer, and the fix tells you what stands between you and the next point.
Does a high score mean I’ll pass?
No. A high score means this answer is clear, specific and yours. An interview also turns on the role, the other candidates and the person asking. What practice does give you: you stop rambling, going vague or forgetting the result when the question comes.
Can I use it for technical interviews?
For the parts that are a conversation: the behavioral questions, the walk through your experience, the “tell me about a project” deep dive, an incident you led. Bashmo does not run coding, system design or whiteboard exercises.
What do you do with my resume and the job description?
Bashmo’s AI model reads both to write the questions this interviewer is likely to ask, about twenty of them: the role’s own, deep dives into your experience and the weak spots in your resume. It also uses them to coach you on those questions. They stay with your account and are deleted with it.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Settings › Your data › Download my data gives you a copy first; Delete my account, beside it, removes your answers, resume, scores and the rest of your account. It can’t be undone.
