Codility AI Copilot: Assess AI Skills in Technical Interviews
Today’s developers rely on AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to code more efficiently, solve problems faster, and stay productive, but traditional technical interviews are still catching up. In many interview processes, candidates are expected to solve coding problems without the AI assistance they use every day.
Codility is changing that. With our new AI Copilot, we’re bringing realistic AI-assisted coding seamlessly into the technical interview environment.
What is Codility AI Copilot?
Codility’s AI Copilot brings real-time AI chat and agent-based assistance to our VSCode-based interview environment, giving interviewers visibility into the way candidates interact with AI tools:
- AI Chat Mode: For generic questions and code generation
- Agent Mode: For more advanced workflows. The AI can directly edit code and create files.
- Auto-complete: Smart AI powered code suggestions, right in the candidate’s working space
Key Benefits of Codility AI Copilot
Transparent AI Collaboration
Our AI Copilot is built specifically for interviews, allowing interviewers to observe exactly how candidates use AI, from their prompts to the way they use AI outputs, and gain insights into AI literacy, critical thinking, and the ability to leverage AI effectively. Prompts and transcripts are saved in the post-interview report, allowing for interviewer and hiring manager review.
Choose Your AI Model
Candidates can select between multiple models and modes with AI-powered auto-complete at their disposal, allowing them to work the way they’re most comfortable. AI Copilot currently supports OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini and gpt-5-mini , with future updates planned to support additional AI models. Coming soon: interviewers will have the ability to choose which models and modes the candidate can use.
Easy Setup
No API keys or licenses needed! Codility manages all AI model connections seamlessly for an out-of-the-box solution that eliminates technical friction for both candidates and interviewers.
By introducing real-time AI assessment to technical interviews, Codility helps organizations:
- Evaluate modern skills: Assess how candidates leverage AI to solve problems
- Offer realistic interviews: See candidates working with the tools they actually use on the job
- Stay competitive: Identify engineers who are already adept with AI-assisted development
