AI Copilot

3 min read·Updated Apr 21, 2026

Open the Ask AI tab on the notch and you get four ways to pull help mid-interview. Each one is built for a specific moment in the call.

Nothing interrupts you
The copilot never pushes anything at you. Open the Ask AI tab on the notch when you want help — otherwise it stays quiet.

Inside the Ask AI tab, three buttons sit across the top — each one is for a different moment in the interview. Below them is a free text box for anything else you want to ask.

What to ask

Tap What to ask and two short follow-up questions appear, based on what the candidate just said and the role you’re hiring for. Best used when:

  • The candidate gave a vague answer and you want to go deeper.
  • You’ve run out of planned questions.
  • You want a natural segue into the next topic.

Explain

Tap Explain to get a short note on a technology, tool, or concept the candidate just mentioned, plus how relevant it is to the role. Use this when they drop jargon you aren’t sure about, or you’re interviewing for a domain you haven’t worked in yourself.

What to answer

Tap What to answer when the candidate asks youa question. The copilot drafts a spoken reply you can read back, grounded in the job description and anything you’ve attached to the session.

Read, don't parrot
Treat the draft as a starting point and rephrase it in your own voice. Candidates notice when a recruiter suddenly starts talking like a chatbot.

Ask anything

Below the three buttons is a text box labelled Ask anything… Type any question about the call and the answer streams back. Examples:

  • “Did they actually answer the scaling question?”
  • “What’s still unclear about their last role?”
  • “Summarise what they’ve said about team size.”

This mode looks across the whole call so far, not just the last few turns — so it’s the right tool for “earlier they said X, has that been contradicted?” moments.

When it stays quiet

Early in a call, or if the candidate hasn’t spoken for a while, the copilot might say “not enough context yet” instead of answering. That’s intentional — it’d rather say nothing than make something up. Give it another minute of conversation and try again.
