AI interview forms

Forms that interview.

Create an AI interview in a minute. Share a link. The AI asks the follow-up questions a checkbox never could — then hands you clean, structured data for your own LLM.

A form collects answers.
Cortex collects understanding.

Static forms get shallow, one-shot answers. Cortex runs a real conversation — it probes, asks “why,” and adapts to each person, over chat or a virtual interviewer. You get the depth of an expert interview at the scale of a form.

A form asks
A traditional static form with fixed questions
Cortex asks — in the moment
Walk me through the last time it broke down — what happened?
The approval got stuck for 3 days because…
Three days — how often, and who's left waiting?
…then it follows up

Set an objective. If it's unmet, Cortex follows up with a short follow-up round.
