Interview Prep

By James Anditis (Journalism)

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

Spreadsheet

• Reads data from Google Sheets, Excel files, and CSVs without you opening them
• Writes or updates cells while preserving your existing formatting and formulas
• Analyzes tabular data and generates reports based on your spreadsheet content
• Remembers your sheet structures and column definitions for faster future operations
• Handles large datasets intelligently by sampling or paginating when needed

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
