Projects
Each project holds your write-up plus two upload bins — Slides (used in interview practice) and Files (papers, data, notes). Pick a project when you run an interview or draft emails.
New project
New here? Load a ready-made sample and run a mock interview in one click — no typing.
Practice coach
Full interview (scores at the end) or single-question drills. Voice first — typing available anytime.
Presets
Load a saved setup first — or scroll down to save/update after you tweak settings.

Mode
Your project (paste everything useful)
The coach will also probe related approaches / ideas from the broader topic — not only what you wrote.
Slideshow (optional)
Upload a PPTX, PDF, or PNG/JPG images. Flip through them during the interview like a real talk.
PPTX/PDF → practice slides (max 20 pages, ~15MB). For pixel-perfect slides, export PDF from PowerPoint/Keynote.
How should this go?
Mic stays open until “I’m done speaking.” Edit the transcript before Send.
Save / update preset
Done tweaking? Save this setup, or update the preset you loaded above.
Saves brief, special instructions, interview options, and cold-email filters. Slides stay on Profile.

Profile
This is about you — it personalizes your emails and interview coaching. Your research write-ups live under Projects.
Cold email
Find professors in your research area, rank by fit, and open a ready-to-edit template for each — written in a human student voice (like a real successful outreach email).
Quick load preset
Create/save presets from the Interview tab. Loading applies brief + outreach filters here too.
Find professors
LabBound can’t send email for you — copy the template into Gmail/Outlook and attach these files there. Drafts will mention them.
Uses OpenAlex. Public emails auto-fill when found; otherwise open their lab page.
