Introducing Odysi: Your Interview Command Center

I was deep into my job search, juggling 15+ active interview processes, when I realized something was broken.

Not the interviews themselves. But the sheer mental overhead of managing them all. Every morning started with the same routine: cross-referencing my AirTable with my calendar, updating statuses, trying to remember which company was which round, frantically searching for notes before calls.

The cognitive load was exhausting. I was spending more mental energy on interview admin than on actual interview prep.

That’s when I knew: there has to be a better way.

The Breaking Point

My interview “system” was actually pretty sophisticated:

• AirTable database with custom views, filters, and automations
• 25+ calendar events but no connection to which application they belonged to
• Notion pages for company research and interview prep
• Email threads that I’d have to search through before every call
• Mental mapping of which interviewer was from which company

The worst part? I thought I was organized. AirTable is powerful—I had formulas, linked records, color-coding. But even with all that sophistication, the cognitive load was crushing.

Every interview required:

• Checking AirTable for the company details
• Searching email for the latest correspondence
• Finding my notes scattered across different tools
• Mentally switching context from the last company
• Updating everything manually after each call

I was spending 2+ hours daily just on interview admin. That’s when I realized: even the best manual system can’t solve the fundamental problem of fragmentation.

Why Current Tools Don’t Cut It

Looking at my setup, I evaluated everything:

• Job boards with trackers: Great for applications, useless once you’re actually interviewing
• Project management tools: Trello, Asana, Monday—all require manual updates
• Calendar apps: Show when, but not what, who, or why
• Note-taking apps: Where did I put those notes again?

The problem isn’t that these tools are bad. They’re just not built for the unique chaos of modern tech interviews. They don’t understand that:

• One company might mean 5 rounds with 12 different people
• Interview times change constantly (and across time zones)
• You need context instantly when that recruiter calls
• Your inbox has all the details, but they’re trapped there

Building the Solution We Needed

So I started thinking: “What if we built something that actually works?”

I started with a simple premise: Your calendar already has your interviews. It just needs to connect to your applications.

Odysi: Your Interview Command Center

The Magic Moment

Here’s what using Odysi actually feels like:

Before an interview, instead of:

• Opening AirTable to check company details
• Searching Gmail for the latest thread
• Finding your Notion notes
• Checking calendar for timing

You just:

• Open Odysi and see everything in one place
• Click the interview to see all context
• Review your notes right there
• Feel prepared, not scattered

The mental energy you save is transformative. You’re focused on the conversation, not the logistics.

Real Intelligence, Not Just Tracking

Odysi isn’t just about organizing—it’s about reducing cognitive load:

• Everything connected: Your calendar events link directly to applications
• Context at a glance: See company details, notes, and history instantly
• Smart workflows: Interview feedback forms that know which interview just happened
