What a real Vyo conversation looks like
A pipeline-aware question with a structured, specific answer. The difference between Vyo and a generic AI is the personalisation - Vyo references your actual prep history and applications, not a hypothetical.
You
I have two interviews this week and only a few hours of prep. How should I prioritise?
Vyo
Lead with the interview that has the closer deadline and the format that gives you fewer second chances. Looking at your tracker, the HireVue earlier in the week is one-shot - a single weak answer there is harder to recover from than a wobble in a live conversation later. Push the bulk of your time toward that one. For the later round, the firm leans on commercial awareness more than technicals. Read the firm dossier, drill the case framework on two or three recent deals, and run one Vyo live mock at standard difficulty rather than trying to memorise content cold. Keep an hour back as buffer for whatever you discover you need on the night before.

What you can ask
Ask Vyo about...
Four broad categories. Within each, Vyo handles the long tail of specific questions - the more pointed and personal, the better the answer.
Firm-specific
- “What is McKinsey's Solve test like in 2026?”
- “Does Linklaters require LNAT?”
- “How does Centerview's Superday differ from JPM?”
Strategy
- “Should I focus on IBD or Markets for my JPM application?”
- “Which 5 spring weeks should I target for an Oxbridge first-year?”
- “Bain offer vs wait for McKinsey - what would you do?”
Technicals
- “Walk me through a DCF for a SaaS company.”
- “How do I answer "what is the most interesting deal you have followed?"”
- “Explain LBO returns drivers - quick version.”
Application craft
- “My CV has a gap year - how do I frame it?”
- “Draft an opener for Linklaters TC application.”
- “Why is my Goldman cover letter getting rejected?”
What Vyo Coach handles
What a human mentor cannot do at 2am
24/7 conversational coach
Ask anything, any time. Vyo answers in seconds, in the middle of the night, on your commute, two hours before the real interview.
Knows the firms, the processes, the timing
Grounded on the Intervyo firm dataset and current-cycle data. Goldman's 2026 Superday format. McKinsey's Solve test scoring. Linklaters' vacation scheme application window.
Aware of your pipeline
If you have the Pipeline Tracker set up, Vyo sees which firms, what stage, what prep. The advice references your actual upcoming interviews and your specific weak areas.
Frameworks, not opinions
For factual questions you get the fact. For decisions you get the trade-offs structured. Vyo tells you the considerations and the typical recommendation, then lets you decide.
Honest about uncertainty
Vyo flags when it does not know. "I am not certain about Houlihan Lokey's 2026 format but I know it was 6 rounds in 2025" beats made-up specificity.
Shareable threads
Each conversation has a link. Send the substance of your thinking to a mentor when they ask "what have you tried?" - much faster than re-explaining.
The basics
What is Vyo Coach?
Vyo Coach is a conversational AI advisor trained on graduate finance recruiting. You ask questions in plain text - any question, any time of day - and Vyo answers with the specificity of someone who has been through the cycle a thousand times. It is grounded on the Intervyo firm dataset (firm processes, deadlines, scoring patterns), current-cycle data (which firms are opening when, who is hiring what), and the structured frameworks that successful candidates actually use.
The big difference from ChatGPT is what Vyo knows about you. With the Pipeline Tracker set up, Vyo knows which firms you are applying to, what stage you are on, what prep you have done, what your weak areas are. “What should I focus on this weekend” gets a specific answer that names your upcoming interviews and your existing prep gaps. ChatGPT can give you a great generic answer; Vyo can give you the answer for your situation.
Vyo is not a replacement for a human mentor. Human mentors give you network access, advocacy in a hiring committee, and the social context that AI cannot replicate. Vyo is faster, more available, and knows more firms than any individual mentor, which makes it the right tool for most questions, most of the time. Use Vyo for breadth and speed; use mentors for depth and access.
Vyo is honest about uncertainty - if a firm process has changed mid-cycle, or you ask about a niche firm not in the dataset, Vyo will say so and point you to where to look. That honesty matters because confident wrong answers waste your time. The trade-off is that Vyo sometimes gives a hedged answer when a confident answer would be more useful. Most candidates prefer the trade.
Free tier includes 8 messages so you can test the conversation quality before subscribing. Monthly includes 200 a month. Each firm Pack adds 50 more. Most candidates use 30 to 80 messages during peak season; heavy users hit 150.

FAQ
Vyo Coach questions, answered
What can I ask Vyo Coach?
Anything graduate-recruitment related. 'What does Goldman's Superday look like?' 'When does Linklaters vacation scheme open?' 'Should I take the EY graduate offer or wait for MBB?' 'Walk me through a DCF.' 'How do I answer why this firm for J.P. Morgan?' 'My CV has a gap year - how do I frame it?' Vyo knows the firms, the processes, the timing, and the trade-offs. The good answer is rarely generic; Vyo defaults to specifics.
How accurate are the answers?
Vyo is grounded on the Intervyo firm dataset, current-cycle deadlines, the Trackr Season Report and recruiter-validated interview content. For factual questions (deadlines, processes, who runs HireVue) accuracy is very high. For subjective advice (should you take an offer, which division to target) Vyo gives structured frameworks - the considerations, the typical recommendation, what changes the call - rather than opinions presented as facts.
Does Vyo know my application progress?
Yes. If you have the Pipeline Tracker set up, Vyo sees which firms you are applying to, what stage you are on, what prep you have done. The answers are tailored to your pipeline, not generic. 'What should I focus on this weekend' gets a specific answer about your actual next interview - 'You have a JPM HireVue on Tuesday and you have only done 4 practice runs. Prioritise that. Push the Bain commercial awareness to next week.'
Is Vyo a replacement for a human mentor?
No, and Vyo will tell you that directly when it matters. Vyo is faster, available 24/7, and knows more firms than any individual mentor. But human mentors give you network access, signal in a hiring committee, and the read-the-room insight that AI cannot replicate. Use Vyo for breadth and speed (most questions, most of the time); use mentors for depth and access (the high-stakes decisions, the firms where you need an internal champion).
How many messages do I get?
200 Vyo Coach messages a month on Monthly subscription. 50 additional messages on every firm Pack (so a candidate with Monthly + 1 Pack gets 250 messages/month). Free tier includes 8 messages so you can try the conversation quality before subscribing. Most candidates use 30 to 80 messages a month during active recruitment; heavy users hit 150 in peak season.
What if Vyo does not know something?
Vyo will tell you. Better to flag uncertainty than to confabulate. If a firm process has changed mid-cycle, or you ask about a niche firm not in the dataset, Vyo will say so and point you to where to look (firm careers page, recent Wall Street Oasis threads, the Intervyo firm guide, recent press coverage). 'I am not certain about Houlihan Lokey's 2026 Superday format but I do know it was 6 rounds in 2025' is a Vyo answer; 'It is 6 rounds' is not.
Can I share a conversation with a mentor?
Yes. Each Vyo Coach thread has a shareable link. Useful when you want a human to sanity-check what Vyo told you, or when a mentor asks "what have you tried?" and you can show them the substance of your thinking.
Does Vyo remember our previous conversations?
Yes, within reason. Vyo keeps a long-running context of your applications, stage progress, prep history, and the broad themes of past conversations. Vyo does not store every exact message forever, but the salient points (which firms you target, your weak areas, your timeline) stay live across sessions.
