Short answer

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit my interview notes in Ashby?

    No. The AI can only read feedback and candidate data. It cannot change or delete anything in your Ashby account.

  • 02

    Does the AI make hiring decisions?

    No. The AI provides summaries and identifies patterns, but the final decision always stays with you.

  • 03

    Can I summarize feedback for a whole batch of candidates at once?

    You can ask the AI to do this, but it works best when you target specific candidates one by one.

  • 04

    What happens if an interviewer didn't leave any notes?

    The AI will only summarize the feedback that actually exists in Ashby. If there are no notes, there is nothing to summarize.

    You tell the AI the candidate's name or ID, and it uses the connection to find the right profile in Ashby.
