Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: eye and gaze movement analysis and provides evidence-based reports for review. Where it lags: adds another layer to the interview process. On balance the feature set — especially audio and background signal monitoring — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and real-time detection during live interviews. AI assistant detection (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) fits neatly into how we already work, and integration with video interview platforms removed a step we used to do by hand. Effectiveness depends on candidate environment, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. AI assistant detection (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) is exactly what I needed, and flags both AI tools and deepfake usage. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
