Google Interview Warmup is gone. Here are the alternatives
We make MockLive AI, one of the options below.
Google's free Interview Warmup has been retired. Its links now redirect to a Grow with Google article of interview tips. If you used it, here's what it did and what's closest now.
What Interview Warmup did: free, in the browser. You answered expert-written questions out loud; it transcribed your answer and showed "insights" such as job-related terms and your most-used words. It didn't ask follow-up questions, and its questions weren't AI-generated.
The short answer
- Closest free replacement for speaking practice: MockLive AI (first interview free) or Huru (free, recorded one question at a time, like Warmup was).
- Want questions for a specific job? Interviews by AI (3 free questions a month) or Himalayas (1 free mock) generate them from a job description.
- Want something harder than Warmup? MockLive AI, Big Interview's PracticeAI and Final Round AI hold live spoken interviews with follow-up questions, which Warmup never had.

Common questions
Is Google Interview Warmup still available?
No. Its links now redirect to a Grow with Google article of interview tips. Google hasn't published a date or reason on the pages we checked.
What's the closest free alternative to Google Interview Warmup?
Huru works most like Warmup: you record an answer to one question at a time, free. MockLive AI's free first interview is closer to a real interview: it asks follow-up questions about what you said.
