Core Concepts Explained

Understanding these key concepts will help you get the most out of Agent Interviews:

1. Projects

What it is: A Project is like a folder or workspace for organizing your interview-related activities.
Why use it: It helps you keep interviews for different purposes (e.g., different products, research studies, hiring rounds) separate and manageable. You create Interviewers within a specific Project.
(Optional) Context: Projects can also hold relevant documents or information that might eventually be used to give your AI Interviewers more background knowledge, though this is a more advanced feature.

What it is: A Template defines the brain of your AI interviewer. It sets the AI's goal, personality, focus, and potentially specific questions or conversational styles.
Why use it: Templates make creating interviewers much faster and more consistent. You can reuse a template to create multiple interviewers with the same core behavior.
Key Idea: Think of it as a blueprint. You can use pre-built templates from a library or design your own highly customized ones.

What it is: An Interviewer is the specific AI agent that conducts conversations. You create an Interviewer instance based on an Interviewer Template.
Why use it: This is the actual "thing" you share. Each Interviewer has its own settings (like a name) and, crucially, its own shareable link.
Key Idea: You choose a Template (the blueprint) and then create an Interviewer (the specific instance) from that blueprint.

What it is: An Interview is the record of a single conversation session between an end-user (the interviewee) and one of your AI Interviewers.
Why use it: This is where you find the results – the transcript of the conversation, any data the AI extracted, and the status of the interaction.
Key Idea: When someone clicks a shareable link for an Interviewer, a new Interview record is created to capture that specific session.
