Has anyone tried using an AI Coding Assistant in interviews?

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to get some thoughts on using an AI Coding Assistant during live technical interviews. These days, coding rounds seem to focus more on how clearly you explain your logic than just getting the right answer, and that’s often the hardest part under pressure.
  • Live interviews test problem-solving and communication at the same time
  • An AI Coding Assistant is usually meant to support structured thinking, not provide direct solutions
  • I’ve seen tools like LockedIn AI mentioned in discussions for offering real-time guidance rather than replacing decision-making
  • This kind of support might help reduce mental blocks when explaining complex logic
  • On the other hand, it’s unclear whether it adds extra distraction during interviews
I’m curious to hear from anyone who has actually used an AI Coding Assistant:
  • Did it help you stay organized while explaining your approach?
  • Did it feel natural to use in a live setting?
  • Would you consider using it again?

Looking forward to hearing real experiences and opinions.
