It would be so good for system design interviews. There’s usually so much information flowing that I find it impossible to take notes without long pauses.

#12Slick animation halfway down the page.
Does this work with arbitrary questions and does it summarise the questions? I find I tend to waffle on sometimes when asking questions (which could indicate a bad habit)

#13Tangential - sites with these kinds of scroll-linked/triggered animations are often annoying or obnoxious, but I think this one gets it right.

Co-founder here. Questions are automatically detected and tidied up. So, we un-waffle. Another consequence of this is that if there's a question like "tell me more about that", we often detect what "that" is referring to and 'expand' the question to something like "tell me more about your last role".

Co-founder here. We spend a fair bit of time thinking about this actually. I think the key is to always have something moving proportionally to scroll, otherwise you lose your sense of speed+position and get lost.

#16This is a great application of AI summarization. You can focus more on the candidate when you're not writing things down in the interview. Also, as a candidate, noticing your interviewer typing/writing is also pretty offputting. The next-level thing would be having a way to tailor the generated summary to your particular notes style/format.
As an interviewee you can use the interviewer's typing as a good signal. When I'm conducting an LP interview and you go off on a tangent that I'm not interested in, I'll stop typing and look up long before I'm likely to interrupt you. Now I'm not _expecting_ anyone to pick up on that. My point is it's a useful skill to engage (even via zoom) with the other person and develop a feel for how they're processing the info…
Expecting an interviewee to pick up on that and manage the conversation is completely unrealistic, and it’s unfair to put that on them—if you’re not interested in the direction they took the question, have the guts to say so and redirect them.

My best practice is to say “Hey, I’m going to be typing notes during this interview so that I don’t misrepresent you in the debrief. I’m not doing email on the side or anything!”
To be relevant to this post: I love the promise of this product. Thanks for the extensive info on security and privacy; that’s crucial.

> as a candidate, noticing your interviewer typing/writing is also pretty offputting. Really? For me it shows they are doing their work properly instead of just depending on their memory.
I'm more thinking about interviewers that seem to be continuously typing while I'm talking without following up on things I've said. Perhaps with a summary feature like this they could be more present, and make the interview feel more like a conversation than a verbal form.
Ah I see your point. I just pause when they start typing and let them finish. I consider it a polite indication that I let them finish storing what I said in longer-term memory and that at the same time I would prefer they focus on what I say.
