Introducing AI Assistant: The New Standard in Technical Hiring

Traditional Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews only tell part of the story. They can show if a candidate can code, but not how they’ll solve problems in the real world—especially in an AI-powered workplace. That’s why we built AI Assistant by Glider AI.

What is AI Assistant?


AI Assistant is Glider AI’s embedded support agent inside Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews. It guides candidates in real time, offers proactive nudges or debugging help, and captures every interaction to reveal how candidates think, adapt, and collaborate with AI.

Unlike generic chatbots, AI Assistant is built for hiring—structured, transparent, and tailored to technical evaluations.

What Are AI Agents for Hiring?


AI Agents for Hiring are intelligent systems that actively participate in the hiring process, not just automating tasks, but engaging with candidates or recruiters in real time. They can assist candidates during assessments, validate identity to prevent fraud, or provide recruiters with richer insights.

AI Assistant is one of these agents—focused on helping companies uncover talent that’s not just technically skilled, but AI-ready for the future of work.

Why AI Assistant Matters Now?


Hiring is evolving fast:

  • AI-related hiring is growing 30% faster than overall recruitment.
  • By 2030, 70% of jobs will require AI-influenced skills.
  • Yet only 1% of organizations today consider themselves AI-mature.

By 2026, 75% of software engineers will use AI copilots daily. Hiring without testing AI fluency is like hiring drivers without ever seeing them behind the wheel. AI Assistant is built to close that gap.

Traditional Assessments vs. AI Assistant

Static pass/fail experienceDynamic, interactive, real-time support

Why AI Assistant Matters Now?


AI Assistant is built into both Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews, creating a highly realistic candidate experience while giving recruiters deeper insights.

It engages candidates in two ways:

  • Candidate-Initiated Help → candidates ask clarifying questions, request debugging support, and test solutions.
  • Proactive AI Guidance → the assistant steps in when issues arise, nudging with suggestions and capturing how candidates respond and adapt.

Together, these reveal how candidates truly work with AI—not just if they can write code.

Benefits for Hiring Teams

With AI Assistant, you get:

  • Richer skill reports that capture every AI interaction and response
  • Faster time-to-hire with higher confidence in decision-making
  • Improved talent quality—discovering candidates who are real, ready, and capable

Benefits for Candidates

Hiring isn’t just about evaluation—it’s also about experience. Candidates often describe traditional assessments as stressful and disconnected from real work.

With AI Assistant, assessments feel authentic:

  • Engaging and supportive rather than test-like
  • A chance to show how they’d perform on the job
  • A fairer process that values adaptability, not just memorization

This balance of rigor and realism makes AI Assistant better for candidates—and better for recruiters.

Leadership Perspective

Glider AI leaders see AI Assistant as more than a feature—it’s a shift in how enterprises approach technical hiring. By combining technical skill validation with AI fluency, hiring teams gain a window into real-world performance.

AI Assistant is a breakthrough for our customers. “For the first time, they can assess not just technical skill—but how well a candidate leverages AI to solve real problems. It’s the closest thing to seeing how someone will actually perform on the job.”

– Ben Walker | COO, Glider AI

We built AI Assistant because the future of hiring isn’t about testing code in isolation—it’s about testing readiness for AI-powered work. The companies that embrace this shift will build stronger teams, move faster, and lead their industries.”

– Satish Kumar | CEO & Co-Founder, Glider AI

The Future of Hiring


This isn’t about making tests easier—it’s about making them more real. The best engineers and developers will be those who can work with AI, not depend on it.

If you’re still relying on code-only assessments, you’re missing the #1 predictor of job readiness: how candidates collaborate with AI.

With AI Assistant, you can see that readiness today.
