Interview Prep

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Research your subject, build custom questions, and plan follow-ups for any interview.

Summarize

• Extracts and summarizes content from local PDFs and text files
• Pulls transcripts from YouTube videos and turns them into summaries
• Offers multiple summary lengths (short, medium, long) depending on your needs
• Works as a fallback transcript extractor when you need the raw text from a video

Interview Prep

• Generates pre-interview research checklists covering background, public records, and topic context
• Provides question frameworks and templates tailored to interview type (profile, expert, investigative, sensitive)
• Explains recording consent laws and provides consent templates for different scenarios
• Offers attribution guidelines (on record, background, deep background, off record) with clarification scripts
• Creates interview logistics checklists including scheduling templates and day-of preparation
