Could you build this?
Partial Building an AI voice/chat mock interview app is straightforward, but orchestrating a hybrid marketplace with verified human engineers and rubric scoring demands complex business logic and operations.
What it would actually take: Architecture consists of a web frontend (Next.js), WebRTC/WebSockets for live audio/video streaming, and integrations with LLMs (e.g., OpenAI Realtime API) for speech-to-speech interviewing. The difficult components are the marketplace infrastructure (scheduling, payments, fraud prevention, human reviewer matching) and calibrated rubrics to ensure consistent, reliable scoring between AI and human evaluators.
