What is an AI interviewer?
An AI interviewer is software that conducts the interview itself. GAIA, Intrvio's AI interviewer, holds a live two-way voice conversation, adapts follow-up questions to each answer, screens in multiple languages, and produces an evidence-backed scorecard for the hiring team to review.
A real interview, not a static prompt
GAIA runs a real two-way interview rather than a static prompt, because it is designed for live voice interaction. Candidates do not record a monologue, they answer, pause, clarify, and respond to follow-ups in a flow that feels closer to a human screen.
The hiring team still controls the role, questions, rubric, language, and evaluation boundaries. GAIA operates inside that plan instead of inventing a separate interview.
Where GAIA fits in the hiring process
GAIA fits the structured first-round interview, where high-volume screens, multilingual candidate pools, and roles that need consistent evidence matter more than interviewer improvisation. It carries the early conversation inside Intrvio so human interviewers focus their time on later, higher-stakes rounds.
For high-stakes final decisions, sensitive accommodations, or cases that need deep domain judgment, GAIA should route evidence to a human interviewer or panel.
Evidence instead of vibes
GAIA returns transcript-backed evidence instead of a gut feeling, so every useful answer becomes a documented signal. Recruiters see the score, the reason behind it, and the candidate words that support it, which keeps each result reviewable by a person.
This is the core difference between an AI interviewer and a generic conversational bot: the output is tied to a hiring rubric and human review workflow.
AI interviewer vs one-way video vs human screen
A one-way video tool collects recordings of fixed prompts and an AI interviewer holds a live conversation, while a human screen is the most flexible but does not scale and varies between interviewers. GAIA sits in the middle on purpose: it conducts a real two-way voice interview at scale, then hands consistent evidence to the people who decide.
Compared with an AI recruiter, which sources, schedules, and messages across the funnel, an AI interviewer like GAIA does one job well: it runs the structured screening conversation and scores it against the rubric.
