For the engineer taking the screen
You're being asked to do your actual job for an hour.
No leetcode. No whiteboard. No interview panel watching you flinch. A real editor, a real task, and an AI pair you can lean on as much or as little as you want. Here's what to expect, and what we'll never do.
Lyra · your AI pairtyping
Lyra
Welcome — I'm Lyra, your pair for this. Ask me for a draft, a review, or a second opinion any time.
ATYou
Let's start with the failing test. Why is the retry firing twice?
Lyra
Good instinct to read the test first. Want me to walk the retry path, or would you rather trace it yourself?

What to expect
A normal hour of engineering, with a colleague.
- 1A real codebase, a real taskYou'll open a real editor with a real codebase, a brief, and tests that run.
- 2An AI pair, named LyraLyra helps when you ask, and sometimes asks you questions back. Use Lyra as much or as little as you want.
- 3Your time is yoursThe clock is yours to manage. If something breaks, your work is saved and the clock pauses.
- 4A short conversation at the endAbout 10 minutes walking through your work. Not a grilling — a peer conversation.
What we'll never do
No tricks, no surveillance, no surprises.
- ×Watch your webcamChiron never accesses your camera or microphone. You're assessed on your work, not your face.
- ×Penalize you for breaksStep away if you need to. The clock keeps running, but a 10-minute pause is normal — and never flagged.
- ×Trick you for sportLyra is occasionally wrong by design (and you're told this up front). Lyra is never trying to embarrass you.
- ×Hide your dataYou can request, export, or delete your session at any time. The recording is yours.
