Today we launched Aural on Product Hunt. It's a milestone we've been working toward for months, and we're excited (and a little nervous) to share it with the community.
If you're discovering Aural for the first time, here's the short version: Aural is an AI-powered interview platform that conducts structured, adaptive interviews through chat, voice, and video. You design the interview, share a link, and the AI handles the rest — asking questions, following up intelligently, and generating transcripts, scores, and insights automatically.
Why We Built This
The idea for Aural came from firsthand frustration. After conducting 300+ interviews across consulting, tech, and startup hiring, the same problems kept surfacing: scheduling bottlenecks, inconsistent evaluations, poor documentation, and hiring decisions driven by gut feelings instead of structured data.
We asked a simple question: what if the interview itself could be the system? Not a recording to review later, not a survey to fill out, but a real conversation that runs the same way every time and produces structured, comparable data.
That's what Aural does. The AI doesn't just read questions off a list — it listens, adapts, and follows up based on what the participant actually says. And after the conversation, you get per-competency scores, key insights, theme detection, and full transcripts. No manual note-taking, no inconsistency.
What Makes Aural Different
There are other interview tools out there, but most fall into two camps: recorded video responses (one-way interviews where candidates talk to a camera) or AI-assisted tools that help human interviewers work faster. Aural is neither.
- AI conducts the full interview. Adaptive, multi-turn conversations with intelligent follow-ups — not pre-recorded prompts.
- Three modes: chat, voice, and video. Candidates choose the format that works for them, or you specify which mode each interview uses.
- Structured assessment, not just transcripts. Every session produces competency scores, AI-generated summaries, and exportable data.
- Works beyond hiring. Teams use Aural for user research, customer discovery, academic interviews, and interview practice.
- Anti-cheating built in. Tab tracking, paste blocking, multi-monitor detection — one toggle, full integrity log.
- Live in minutes. Describe what you need in plain language, and the AI generates a complete interview. No implementation project, no professional services.
What We're Launching With
The Product Hunt launch includes everything we've been building and refining:
- AI interview generation from natural language descriptions
- Live AI interviews via chat, voice, and video with adaptive follow-ups
- Automated transcription, scoring, and assessment reports
- Coding interviews with a built-in code editor and whiteboard
- Anti-cheating mode with integrity monitoring
- Bulk session management — import candidates via CSV or resumes
- 30+ language support
- A free tier to get started — no credit card required
Who Is This For?
We built Aural for anyone who needs to conduct structured conversations at scale. The most common use cases we've seen:
- Hiring teams drowning in phone screens — let the AI handle the first round so your recruiters can focus on candidates who matter.
- Solo founders and small teams who need to hire but can't afford to spend half their week on interviews.
- Product and UX teams running user research interviews — get 10x more conversations without 10x more researchers.
- Job seekers who want to practice interviews with realistic AI feedback before the real thing.
- Educators and students preparing for academic vivas, thesis defenses, or oral exams.
Try It, Break It, Tell Us What You Think
Product Hunt launches are as much about feedback as they are about visibility. We genuinely want to hear what works, what doesn't, and what you wish it did differently. The best products are shaped by their earliest users, and that's exactly who shows up on launch day.
If you're curious, the best way to understand Aural is to try it. Design an interview, go through it yourself, and see how it feels. The free tier gives you enough to form a real opinion — no credit card, no commitment.
And if Aural resonates with you, an upvote on Product Hunt goes a long way for a small team trying to get the word out. We appreciate every one.
Here's to better interviews — for everyone on both sides of the table.
