Where we stand on AI in interviews
We build an interview copilot. We also think the disclosure question deserves a straight answer rather than a paragraph buried in the terms.
If you build a tool that helps people during live interviews, you get asked whether that is cheating. It is a fair question and it deserves better than a marketing non-answer.
The problem we set out to solve
The technical interview measures two things at once: whether you can do the job, and whether you can perform under observation on a timer. Only one of those shows up in the work afterward.
People who have done the work for a decade still blank on definitions they use weekly. People returning from a career break lose the vocabulary for their own experience. That gap is real, it is not evenly distributed, and it is what we build against.
What we ask of the people who use it
Follow the rules of the process you agreed to enter. Some companies now explicitly permit AI assistance and are more interested in how you use it than whether you do. Many do not permit it. That distinction is real and we are not going to blur it to make a sale.
If you have been told no AI, that includes us. If disclosure is required, disclose. You are the one in the room and the decision is yours.
What we will not build
- Anything designed to defeat proctoring software. If an assessment is proctored, that is a disclosed condition of the process.
- Claims we cannot support. Our documentation states where the tool's behaviour ends, because you should know the boundaries of something you are trusting.
- Fabricated social proof. No invented user counts, no purchased reviews.
The version of this we would defend
Someone who can do the job, who freezes when observed, who has a structure available so their attention goes to content instead of organisation — and who says it in their own words. That person gets hired for what they can actually do, which is the outcome the interview was supposed to produce.
Hints mode exists for that person. It nudges without answering, which is the difference between assistance and substitution.
