I Built an AI Interview Companion to Run More Objective Interviews

Fun AI-powered tool I built today. It’s a companion that helps me run interviews more objectively.

Just a v1, but here’s what it does so far.

Current Features

The tool has three core capabilities:

  • It has an interactive candidate scorecard for each job type
  • It transcribes the call and uses transcription to have AI grade the scorecard
  • During the interview, AI suggests questions I should ask to get clarity on parts of the scorecard that haven’t been addressed
AI interview companion tool showing candidate scorecard with criteria like NYC commitment, intensity, high-agency, and no-bullshit communication. Right panel shows Live Interview Mode with suggested questions for high agency and customer success evaluation.

What’s Next

Future features I’m planning to add:

  • Connected to our ATS
  • Camera and mic used to grade presentation skills
  • Create async interviews that AI auto grades

Final Thoughts

Building tools like this is a great example of how AI can make real processes better. It’s not about replacing the human element in interviews. It’s about bringing more objectivity and consistency to how we evaluate candidates.

And honestly, knowing that I can stop playing AI on hard mode by building simple companions like this makes the whole process more enjoyable.
