What Is an Interview Copilot?
An Interview Copilot is an AI-powered side panel that supports live or asynchronous interviews in real time. It listens, transcribes, and suggests follow-up questions, tracks scorecard coverage, and drafts structured notes—helping humans run faster, fairer, data-rich interviews.
Not to be confused with an AI Interview Bot, which only chats with applicants for basic screening. A Copilot assists the human throughout the interview process.
