# Kettle Notes

> Kettle Notes is an AI assistant for interviewers on Google Meet: a live, speaker-labelled transcript, next-question suggestions while the candidate speaks, and a finished scorecard when the call ends. No bot joins the call and no audio is recorded.

Kettle Notes is a Chrome extension for interviewers. It runs inside the interviewer's own Google Meet tab, reads Meet's live captions (no audio processing, no bot participant, invisible to the candidate), shows a speaker-labelled transcript, proposes follow-up questions in real time, tracks focus-area coverage, and produces an evidence-backed scorecard when the call ends.

Key facts:
- Platform: Google Meet (live). Zoom and Microsoft Teams: roadmap.
- Requirements: Google Chrome 111+.
- Privacy: no bot joins the call, no audio or video is recorded, nothing is visible to the candidate.
- Languages: 60+ transcript languages (everything Google Meet captions support).
- Output: live transcript, next-question suggestions, signals/red flags, focus-area coverage, structured scorecards with quotes; export as Markdown, PDF, JSON or webhooks.
- Pricing: Free ($0 per month), Team ($29 per interviewer / month), Enterprise (custom).
- Human-in-the-loop: the copilot suggests; it never auto-scores or auto-rejects candidates.

## Product

- [Live transcript](https://kettlenotes.com/#live-transcript): See every answer as it’s said — labelled by speaker. The copilot reads Google Meet’s own live captions, so you get an accurate, speaker-labelled transcript in real time without recording audio or inviting a bot.
- [In-interview AI](https://kettlenotes.com/#in-interview-ai): Always know what to ask next. As the candidate answers, the copilot proposes follow-ups, flags vague claims, highlights strong signals and tracks which of your focus areas are still uncovered.
- [After the call](https://kettlenotes.com/#post-interview): Walk out with the scorecard already written. Your rubric, filled in with evidence. Each rating links back to the exact quote from the transcript, so debriefs are about the candidate, not about who remembers what.
- [For hiring teams](https://kettlenotes.com/#team-consistency): Consistent interviews across every panel. Define focus areas, must-ask questions and the scoring rubric once per role. Every interviewer gets the same kit, the same prompts and produces a comparable scorecard.

## Real-time analysis

- [Real-time analysis](https://kettlenotes.com/#live): The candidate is still talking. The copilot has already caught it. Every finished sentence runs through the same four-step loop while the answer is still going: what was claimed, what backs it up, which focus area it belongs to, and what you should ask next.
  - Sentence lands: Meet’s live captions are split into complete sentences and attributed to the candidate — never to you.
  - Claim & evidence: What did they actually assert, and did they back it with a number, a name, a date or a decision they owned?
  - Rubric match: The answer is mapped onto this role’s focus areas, so coverage moves while they speak instead of after the call.
  - Your next move: A follow-up you can read out loud, a “go deeper” probe, or a flag worth remembering for the scorecard.

## AI on the transcript

- [AI on your transcript](https://kettlenotes.com/#ai-actions): Ask your interview anything — mid-call or a month later. The transcript isn’t a wall of text you never open again. It’s something you can question, summarise and turn into work with a single click.
  - Ask AI custom questions: Ask in plain language and get an answer grounded in the transcript, with the exact line and timestamp it came from.
  - Summarised as it happens: A running summary that rewrites itself every few minutes — so a colleague joining at minute 20 catches up in ten seconds.
  - Action items, written for you: Next-round questions, take-home ideas, reference checks and the follow-up email, generated from what was actually said.
  - Previous rounds, right there: Earlier interviews with the same candidate summarised beside the call, so the panel never asks the same question twice.
  - Actionable insights, one click each: Summarise the interview, Red flags & inconsistencies, Compare against the job description, Coverage gaps for round 3, Draft the debrief note, Turn into a scorecard, Questions for the reference check, Rewrite as candidate feedback.

## FAQ

- Does a bot join my interviews? No. Kettle Notes is a Chrome extension that runs inside the interviewer’s own Meet tab. There is no extra participant, nothing appears in the participant list, and the candidate sees a completely normal call.
- Do you record audio or video? No. The copilot reads the live caption stream that Google Meet already produces for the meeting. We never request microphone or camera permissions and nothing is recorded.
- Can the candidate tell that I am using it? No. The panel lives in your browser only. The caption box that Meet would normally show is hidden on your side and was never visible on theirs.
- Which meeting platforms are supported? Google Meet today. Zoom and Microsoft Teams are on the roadmap. Join the waitlist from the pricing section if you need them first.
- Which languages does the transcript support? Everything Google Meet captions support — currently 60+ languages. You can switch the transcript language during the call and the AI suggestions follow the language of the conversation.
- What happens to my interview data? Transcripts and scorecards are stored encrypted per workspace, with a retention period you control and one-click deletion. Enterprise customers can choose an EU or US region and route AI calls through their own model provider key.
- Does it integrate with my ATS? Scorecards export as Markdown, PDF or JSON and can be pushed anywhere with webhooks. Native integrations with popular ATS tools are in progress — tell us which one you use.
- Is it fair to candidates? The copilot supports structured interviewing: the same focus areas and rubric for everyone, with evidence tied to what was actually said. It suggests questions and organises evidence; the interviewer makes every judgement. It never auto-scores or auto-rejects a candidate.
