A Sapia.ai alternative that talks, not just types

Sapia.ai popularized text-based chat interviews, where candidates type answers to a fixed set of questions and the responses are analyzed. It is fair-minded and accessible, and for some roles a written format works well. What people raise when they look at Sapia alternatives is that a typed Q&A misses the back-and-forth of a real screen: tone, follow-up questions, and how a candidate thinks on their feet.

InterviewAgent.ai conducts an actual conversation. The agent runs the first-round interview by voice or video, asks role-tailored questions, and follows up live based on what the candidate says, then scores each answer against your rubric and returns a ranked shortlist with transcripts and highlights. Candidates consent and know they are speaking with AI, the same rubric is applied to everyone with bias audits supporting EEOC and NYC Local Law 144, and a recruiter makes the final decision.
