Open-Source AI Interview Software
What open-source AI interview software means, when to choose it, and how Aural can be used as a transparent self-hostable platform.
Direct answer
Open-source AI interview software is interview automation software whose source code is publicly available for inspection, modification, and self-hosting. Aural is open source under the MIT license, so teams can use the hosted product or study and deploy the code themselves.
Why Open Source Matters
Interview tools handle sensitive candidate, participant, and research data. Open source gives technical teams more visibility into how the product is built, where data flows, and how the workflow can be adapted.
Transparency
Inspect the product architecture, API behavior, data model, and AI integration points.
Customization
Adjust prompts, providers, workflows, branding, question types, and deployment patterns.
Self-hosting
Run the platform in your own environment when procurement, privacy, or integration needs require it.
Extensibility
Build custom automations through the REST API and open developer surface.
When Open Source Is the Right Fit
- Your team needs to inspect how interview data is processed.
- You want a self-hosted AI interview platform instead of SaaS only.
- You need to customize workflows beyond standard recruiting software.
- You want to integrate interview creation and reporting into internal systems.
