It repeats. Repeats continue interview questions.

The problem it solves

Screening every applicant by phone or video takes hours you don't have, and candidates hate waiting days for a reply. Manually reading resumes and typing out interview questions for each person just doesn't scale.

Who it fits

Recruiters and HR teams hiring at volume who want consistent first-round screening.

How it works

  1. A candidate sends a text, voice note, or resume on WhatsApp
  2. Audio messages are transcribed to text automatically
  3. The resume is read and turned into a structured candidate profile
  4. AI generates interview questions based on the candidate's skills and conducts the interview
  5. Every conversation and answer is saved for the recruiting team to review
What you get

Candidate interviews ready for your recruiter to review

Every candidate who messages you on WhatsApp gets an AI-run first interview, with the full conversation saved for your recruiting team to review.

What you get

A structured candidate profile and interview transcript saved for the hiring team.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business API account, a Google Gemini API key, and a Supabase database.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
