AI TO THE RESCUE

Some people have created homemade AI tools available for free online.

Others, like the startup Final Round AI, are bringing these tools into the mainstream, offering services like AI résumé builders and mock interview tools.

FINAL ROUND AI

Final Round AI's most controversial tool is Copilot, an app that listens in on interviews and feeds answers to the interviewee.

Michael Guan, the startup's CEO, calls it a "magical teleprompter" and insists it's not cheating.
