The Technical Interview Copilot for every Interviewer
PersonaAI was designed as a copilot for recruiters to better assess candidates' technical skills for SDE and Data Science roles.
Originally built as a chatbot, our team of 3 cofounders soon adapted the product to be a meeting bot that would join into screening calls while transcribing the interview. Our servers would then run a completion on the transcription, processing and grading the interview and sending it to the client via an email.
We got several offers for seed funding, but opted to bootstrap to save equity and find product-market fit
Customer Need → 200 Interviews → 1000 sales touches → Pivot
I joined the team a little late, and so the other two cofounders were busy researching a business need from a recruiting agency connection.
I jumped onboard, helping the CEO conduct some 200 interviews while simultaneously worked with the CTO to build out the frontend and eventually Zoom application when we did a micropivot.
We launched for our customer and they loved the product, and we worked hard for several months trying to get a second customer… to no avail. We explored a couple different pivot options but couldn’t iterate fast enough to survive.
