My interview took place entirely through an AI platform. It asked questions based on what I submitted and how that information aligned with the job description. Instead of typing answers, I recorded live audio and video responses while the AI monitored me.

It felt less like a traditional interview and more like responding to an adaptive prompt system.

Location: Berlin. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
