Executive Summary

Many professionals and students struggle to prepare for remote, asynchronous interviews and presentations because human coaching is expensive and inconsistent; this leaves an estimated 100M people underserviced and creates friction for job seekers and internal mobility. They need realistic simulations, objective scoring, and concise, actionable feedback that fits into busy schedules. You could build an AI-driven interview and presentation coach offering short, simulated practice sessions with automated verbal and nonverbal feedback, role-specific benchmarks, and microlearning drills delivered via web and mobile. The key product experiment is free-trial design—compare a limited high-impact trial (e.g., 2–3 guided sessions plus one detailed AI critique) against time-limited full access to identify the best conversion funnel. This market is attractive now: about $5.0B TAM (100M users × $50 ARPU/year), a market score of 88/100, and revenue potential rated 80/100, driven by cheaper, more accurate AI feedback, permanent remote interviewing, and a preference for short-format practice. Competition is medium, so there’s room to win by optimizing onboarding and trial-to-paid conversion rather than by feature parity alone. Your competitive edge should be demonstrable, trusted outcomes—transparent scoring, benchmarking to role cohorts, and an optimized free trial that shows measurable improvement in minutes. Be honest about challenges: model calibration, building initial trust, and managing acquisition costs, but these can be addressed with early A/B tests and partnerships with universities and recruiters.
