Intervue.io is an Indian tech-hiring platform that runs interviews for employers in two ways: on-demand technical interviews with vetted engineers, and an AI interviewer that handles first-round screening by voice or avatar. Candidates usually meet it through an email from the hiring company with an interview slot or a link. This page explains what Intervue.io is, what the interview is like, what it scores, the rules and practicalities, and how to prepare. We researched Intervue.io's own candidate pages and independent reports in November 2026; employers configure these tools differently, so your invitation has the final word.
What Intervue.io is
Intervue.io raised a seed round in 2021 from Titan Capital, Kunal Shah and 2AM VC, YourStory reported, and later appeared on Shark Tank India. Its human interviews match you with an engineer against the employer's rubric, on camera with a shared coding pad, and the employer gets a report afterward. Its AI interviewer, which Intervue calls an AI screening agent, is two-way rather than scripted: you can ask about the role, team and next steps, and every candidate gets the same question set. Intervue has published very little for candidates about the AI round, so expect your invitation to carry the details.
Who uses it: Adobe, Nykaa, Rakuten, CoinDCX, Randstad, Deutsche Telekom, IDFC First Bank and NSE appear among the logos Intervue.io shows for its platform.
What the interview is like
| What to expect | |
|---|---|
| AI round format | Voice or avatar, configured per role; some versions call you like a phone screen |
| AI round content | Location, compensation, notice period and availability, plus baseline technical questions generated from the job description |
| Human round format | Live video with an engineer matched to the employer's rubric, with a coding pad and whiteboard |
| Length | Not published for the AI round; human rounds vary by role |
| After | The AI round is scored and transcribed for the employer's team; human rounds produce a written report |
What it scores
- AI round: logistics answers such as notice period and expected pay, and baseline technical knowledge from the job description, scored and transcribed for the employer.
- Human round: the employer's rubric, usually problem solving, coding, technical depth and communication.
- Your employer's own team reviews the results and decides.
Rules and practicalities
- Intervue's candidate guide, written for its assessments and not confirmed for the AI round, asks for a laptop or desktop with a webcam, ideally in Chrome; the camera may be mandatory.
- That guide says eye movement is tracked, background audio may be flagged, and image recognition looks for other people and devices.
- Frequent tab switching may lead to disqualification, and keystrokes, clipboard use and tab switches are logged, with periodic snapshots against impersonation.
- The timer continues during disconnections, so a dropped connection costs you time.
- Retakes, rescheduling and language options are not published for candidates; ask the recruiter.
How to prepare
- Have your notice period, current and expected compensation, location and joining date ready; the AI round asks about them.
- Revise the core skills in the job description, since baseline technical questions are generated from it.
- For the human round, practice solving problems on a shared pad while explaining your thinking to someone.
- Use a quiet room, a stable connection and a laptop or desktop, with your phone out of reach.
- Use the two-way part of the AI round: ask one or two real questions about the team and next steps.
Answering well when an AI is asking
- Say your plan before you type: the approach, its cost in time and memory, and the edge cases you will test.
- Narrate while you code; an AI interviewer cannot read hesitation or a thoughtful silence, only what you say and write.
- When you are stuck, say what you are trying and why, then try the smallest working version first.
- Finish by walking through one test case out loud and naming what you would improve with more time.

Your rights and what happens next
After a Intervue.io interview, a recruiter usually reviews the scores, transcript or recording, often within days, and decides whether to move you forward; most vendors say a human makes the decision. If you hear nothing in a week or two, a short, polite follow-up to the recruiter is reasonable.
Depending on where you live, the law may give you rights over automated interviews. Illinois requires employers to explain and get consent before using AI to analyze video interviews, New York City requires bias audits and advance notice for automated hiring tools, and the EU AI Act treats AI used in recruitment as high risk. You can ask the employer how your recording is stored and who reviews it, and request an alternative if you need an accommodation.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
AI-led interviews are screening rounds you take on your own, and they almost always forbid outside help; some log tab switches, pasted text or a second voice. So the useful preparation is practice. CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant; its free AI mock interview builds questions from your résumé and the job description, reads them aloud and scores each spoken answer out of ten, which is close to how many automated interviews work. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. On the day, follow your employer's rules and the instructions in your invitation.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.

An interview a company outsources to Intervue.io, either a live technical round with a vetted engineer or a first-round screen with Intervue's AI interviewer.

It depends on the round. Technical rounds are with real engineers; first-round screens may be run by Intervue's AI interviewer by voice or avatar.
What does the Intervue AI interviewer ask?
Logistics such as location, compensation, notice period and availability, plus baseline technical questions generated from the job description.
Is Intervue.io proctored?
