Alex, known as Apriora until its 2026 rebrand, is an AI interviewer that conducts live, conversational screening interviews with job candidates instead of relying on static application forms. Aaron Wang and John Rytel founded the San Francisco company in 2023.
Candidates talk through a video interview with the AI interviewer, which asks role-specific questions, follows up in real time based on what a candidate says, and produces a structured comparison report for recruiters instead of a raw transcript. The approach drew coverage from CNBC and Forbes for treating AI screening as an interactive conversation rather than a one-way video submission.
Alex is built for talent and recruiting teams handling high applicant volume who want to screen candidates before a human recruiter gets involved. Pricing is not published on the site; companies request a demo and receive a custom quote.
