Live sessions

4 min read·Updated Apr 21, 2026

A session is one interview Sorinai captures end-to-end. This is what you'll see on screen and the buttons you'll reach for.

Pick a capture mode

When you start a session, Sorinai asks what kind of call you’re on. Two options:

Meeting
For Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Sorinai spots the meeting window automatically.
Phone call
For WhatsApp, FaceTime, Slack huddles, Discord, or any other call. Sorinai records whatever’s playing through your speakers.

Starting a session

The session launcher is where you set the call up before it begins. Before you click Launch, you can attach:

  • A qualification template — the checklist the copilot should fill in.
  • The candidate’s CV — so the copilot can reference it.
  • The job description — so follow-up questions stay on the role.
  • A calendar event, if you’ve connected your calendar — attendees and title become context.

None of these are required. You can start a session with nothing attached — the copilot just has less to work with.

The notch on your screen

Once a session is live, everything happens through a small notch pinned to the top of your screen. It stays on top of every other window, including your meeting app, and you can drag it wherever you want.

From the notch you can:

  • See how long you’ve been recording.
  • Open the Red flags tab when a new one appears.
  • Open the Ask AI tab for follow-ups, explanations, or draft answers.
  • Watch the qualification checklist fill itself in.
  • Pause, resume, or stop the recording.

The notch ignores your mouse clicks unless you hover over it, so you can keep working in your meeting app without nudging it by mistake.

Pausing mid-call

Hit Pause on the notch any time you want to step out of recording — the candidate mentions something off the record, you take a personal aside, the call breaks for five minutes. Press it again to resume.

Ending the session

Click Stop on the notch when the call is done. That’s it — that’s the one button you need.

Always stop before you quit
If you close or quit Sorinai mid-call without stopping first, the last part of the session may not be saved properly. Click Stop on the notch first, then it’s safe to quit.

What happens after

For the next minute or so, Sorinai finishes off the session in the background: your qualification sheet gets filled in, red flags are finalised, and the filled document is saved against the session.

If you have session follow-up emails turned on, one arrives with the filled qualification sheet attached. You can always find everything later under Session history.
