This 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.

Really? For me it shows they are doing their work properly instead of just depending on their memory.

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 you're giving them. Otherwise the interviewee could just talk to a transcription AI in the first place and the hiring team reads the summary (shudders).

Though now I've said that, someone is probably going to build this nightmare version.

An next iteration where I could get the AI output in exactly the format I write my scorecards in would be fantastic. It'd save me so much time, especially on days with multiple back-to-back interviews

I've found it quite off-putting. I tend to pause when someone is typing furiously, so they have time to catch up. But then this can disrupt the flow of conversation and is a bit awkward

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.

As long as they type quietly I'm all good. It's the loud typers that get me >:(
