Problem
Aspiring consultants often struggle to prepare for case interviews due to limited access to experienced practitioners, high costs of coaching services, and static prep materials that fail to simulate the interactive, pressure-filled nature of real interviews. Traditional preparation methods lack the adaptive feedback and realistic conversational practice needed to build confidence and competence.
Solution
CaseBuddy provides an AI-powered interview preparation platform that simulates real consulting case interviews through interactive sessions with Sarah, a dedicated AI Business Consultant. Users can practice across ten case types—including Market Sizing, M&A, Profitability, Market Entry, Growth Strategy, Operations, and more—using either voice or text-based interaction modes. The platform adapts in real-time by asking clarifying questions, providing structured hints, and delivering actionable post-interview feedback. Session history and progress tracking allow users to monitor improvement over time, while the AI generates customized cases based on industry preferences and difficulty levels.
