What is an AI agent?

Imagine having a recruiter on your team who never takes breaks, never forgets a candidate, and never lets bias get in the way. That’s what an AI agent is — a digital team member that works around the clock, completely automatically.

More than just a tool

AI agents don’t wait for instructions — they take action

Unlike traditional software or chatbots, AI agents understand what needs to be done, make decisions based on input, and execute tasks — without constant human involvement. In Kiku, the AI agent doesn't just assist — it actively manages the early stages of hiring: from responding to applicants to running interviews and providing insights.

What can an AI agent do in recruiting?

Screen, interview, summarize — on autopilot

An AI agent can handle all the repetitive, early-stage steps recruiters normally spend hours on:

  • Screening candidates automatically using structured interviews
  • Interviewing via voice or chat, at any time of day
  • Taking notes and highlighting key answers
  • Scoring candidates based on your criteria
  • Matching previous applicants to new roles
  • Syncing everything to your existing ATS

These are exactly the capabilities behind Kiku’s core products:
