Could you build this?
Partial A conversational AI video/audio interviewer frontend can be built via standard LLM and voice APIs, but reliable proctoring, cheat detection, and bias-free psychometric evaluation require deep specialized engineering.
What it would actually take: The user-facing platform can be built with React, WebRTC, and LLM orchestration (e.g., LiveKit with OpenAI Realtime API). The hard parts are the automated evaluation engine (benchmarked against human interviewer scoring across diverse engineering tasks) and anti-cheating mechanisms (gaze tracking, multi-monitor detection, audio anomaly analysis, and detecting LLM assistance). This requires behavioral data scientists, psychometricians, and computer vision engineers focused on remote proctoring.
