    § 01 — Manifesto

    Forms ask. We listen.

    An opinion, written down so we can be held to it.

    01

    Static questions produce static answers.

    A question that can't follow up is just a guess wearing a uniform. We replaced the form with a conversation that adapts in real time.

    02

    Multiple choice flattens the truth.

    People are messier than four radio buttons. Saili captures the texture — hesitation, contradiction, the answer behind the answer.

    03

    A spreadsheet is not an insight.

    We don't hand you 4,000 rows of free text. We synthesize — claim by claim, with confidence and the quote that proves it.

    04

    Black-box AI is a liability.

    Every inference is auditable. Every score traces back to the moment in the conversation that produced it. You can override us. You should.

    § 02 — Same question, two worlds

    Watch the same question
    produce two different truths.

    Traditional form.csv

    "Tell us about your last cross-functional project."

    What you get
    teamwork = strong

    Based on what? You'll never know.

    Sailistructured + evidence

    "Tell us about your last cross-functional project."

    they said → "I led the API migration, but product kept changing scope."
    saili asked → "What did you do when the scope changed?"
    they said → "I wrote a decision log and got engineering and product to sign off weekly."
    What you get
    • CLAIM Led API migration under changing scope · 0.86
    • SIGNAL Uses written decision logs · 0.91
    • FOLLOW-UP Ask about tradeoffs and missed deadlines
    § 03 — The engine

    Six layers between
    a hello and an answer.

    Built ground-up for depth and auditability. No prompt-and-pray. No vibes-based scoring. Just an interview engine that earns its claims.

    Layer 01

    Stateful interviewer

    Maintains the entire conversation in working memory. Never re-asks, always builds.

    Layer 02

    Real-time generation

    Questions and follow-ups generated live from your goals and what's already been said.

    Layer 03

    Multi-modal capture

    Voice, chat, structured widgets — respondents pick. The model handles the rest.

    Layer 04

    Claim extraction

    Pulls structured statements out of free-form speech. Each one tagged, scored, sourced.

    Layer 05

    Inference & debate

    Multi-pass synthesis that surfaces contradictions and resolves ambiguity before you see it.

    Layer 06

    Auditable reasoning

    Every output links to the exact quote. Every score is overridable. Nothing is a black box.

    § 04 — Synthesis

    We don't hand you
    transcripts. We hand you
    a verdict.

    Every session is run through a multi-pass synthesis layer that debates itself, filters noise, and resolves contradictions — then maps each conclusion to the exact moment in the conversation that produced it.

    • Evidence-linked claims with source quotes
    • Per-claim confidence with uncertainty flags
    • Contradiction & sentiment-shift detection
    • Cross-cohort patterns across sessions

    § 05 — In the wild

    One interview layer.
    Every hiring team.

    If your team screens, interviews, admits, or evaluates people, Saili turns the conversation into evidence.

    01
    Hiring

    Behavioral interviews that scale without diluting.

    Adaptive screens for every candidate, scored against the same rubric. Auditable, defensible, fast.

    02
    Technical

    Technical probes that follow the candidate's reasoning.

    Ask for tradeoffs, architecture choices, work samples, and concrete examples without running another manual screen.

    03
    HR

    Early-stage screening with richer signal.

    Replace flat intake forms with structured conversations that surface motivation, availability, constraints, and fit.

    04
    Admissions

    Applicant interviews committees can actually review.

    Capture claims, quotes, files, and confidence scores before the panel makes a decision.

    05
    Internal mobility

    Promotion and transfer reviews with evidence.

    Run consistent interviews for leadership tracks, role changes, and internal hiring.

    06
    Reference checks

    Structured references instead of loose notes.

    Ask consistent follow-ups and turn references into reviewable summaries with source quotes.

    "We stopped treating candidate screens like forms. Saili gives our hiring panel the claims, quotes, tradeoffs, and confidence behind every recommendation."
