What is an AI Avatar Interview?
An AI Avatar Interview is a 10–15 minutes voice-based interaction where candidates speak with a conversational avatar trained to simulate a hiring manager.
Instead of responding to fixed video questions (like in AVIs), the avatar dynamically adapts to candidate responses and asks follow-ups in real time, providing a more natural and engaging experience.
