# responder
|
|
|
|
**Responder** automatically sits through AI-powered job interviews for you.
|
|
|
|
It is **not** designed to fool humans, and it is not capable of doing so. It handles the audio-only, fully automated "AI interviewer" screenings that some companies now put in front of candidates — the ones where no human is on the other end, where you talk to a bot, and where a model decides whether you proceed.
|
|
|
|
If a bot can do your side of the conversation too, maybe the format was never doing what it claimed to.

## The point
|
|
|
|
Automated AI interviews are disrespectful to candidates. They waste your time, they reduce a conversation into a one-sided interrogation by a system that cannot actually listen, and they hide the fact that no one at the company cared enough to show up. Responder is a small demonstration that this format is hollow: if both sides can be automated, the "interview" is just two language models exchanging tokens.
|
|
|
|
Use a real human. Or don't be surprised when candidates stop showing up as humans either.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Responder captures the system audio of your call (what the bot says), transcribes it via Google Speech-to-Text, generates a response with Gemini based on your CV, and speaks the answer back through a virtual microphone that you select as the input device in your call app.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Linux with PipeWire or PulseAudio (uses `parec` and a virtual sink/source)
|
|
- A Google Cloud project with Speech-to-Text v2 enabled
|
|
- A Gemini API key
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Set up Google credentials for Speech-to-Text and Gemini. The onboarding is rough, but at least it is all from one vendor.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export GEMINI_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY
|
|
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=$HOME/.config/gcloud/YOUR_CONFIG.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Replace `cv.go` with your own CV as plain text.
|
|
|
|
3. Build and run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go build && ./responder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Start the Browser, join the call with the bot and select the new virtual microphone as your audio input.
