Sherlock is praised for its effectiveness in combating AI-assisted cheating during remote interviews, a growing concern in the digital age. Users appreciate its ability to maintain interview integrity, allowing talent acquisition teams to focus on genuine interactions. However, some users report issues with integration, specifically with Google Meet, and difficulties in reaching customer support. Overall, Sherlock is seen as an essential tool for ensuring fairness and authenticity in remote interview processes.
What if the candidate uses eye contact correction? They might read something off their phone, for example, but their eyes won't move away from the camera
@zot Great question!
Sherlock adapts to each candidate's behavior and looks for subtle cues beyond just eye movement. Even with eye contact correction, it analyzes multiple signals to understand where the candidate's attention is focused.
In the future, we're planning to introduce a heatmap feature that will show where the candidate is primarily focused on the screen during the interview, adding another layer of visibility.
We’re constantly evolving the system to stay ahead of these edge cases!
@abhishek_nellikkalaya oh, I see that the heatmap feature can be a good manual check if all automation fails. Great product addition

@skabhi not many makers here think through such things. Very cool! Congratulations on your launch 👏
@zot Next is gonna be how to counter effect Sherlock detection hahah

This is crazy good! 🔥 It feels like a game-changer for remote hiring—vision, hearing and reasoning? That’s next level. Also, the intro video was clean. I am curious, what video editing tool did you use to make it? Or did you hire someone for it?
@lakshya_singh Thank you! Really glad you liked the product and the video. We worked with a team to bring it to life - they did a great job capturing what Sherlock is all about.
I think I know where did the idea of Sherlock come from (just guessing). Are you somehow inspired by "Roy incident"? :)
@hyuntak_lee Haha love the guess! 😄
We’ve actually been building Sherlock for quite some time, but the “Roy incident” definitely gave the idea an extra push to move faster. You're not too far off!

Congrats on the launch! I am curious, how do you do the eye tracking for off-screen detection? Is there a calibration step in the beginning?
@sperdices Thanks so much! We don’t require any calibration step. Sherlock learns from the candidate’s natural behavior during the interview and picks up patterns in real time to detect off-screen activity. It's designed to be smooth and unobtrusive.

@abhishek_nellikkalaya Nice! I will give it a try
I LOVE the logo & the name - This product seems insane.
I'm not in the process of hiring people etc. although seriously tempted to get someone in interview w/ AI & see what happens - Very exciting stuff!!
Best of luck to you team!!
@cranqnow Thank you so much! 🙌
We had a lot of fun coming up with the name and designing the logo. Glad it resonated!
Even if you're not hiring right now, feel free to try it out just for fun. Sherlock’s always ready to catch some action!
Appreciate the kind words and support. Means a lot to the team!
@cranqnow Hi, Sam
It's beautiful that you'll be trying out the app.
I'm adept at creating content strategy, content creation/writing, and building personal brands for professionals.
Do you have any open roles in this line?

🎉 Huge congrats on the Sherlock launch! @abhishek_nellikkalaya Finally a real solution to stop AI-cheating in remote interviews! Love how you combine vision+audio+reasoning (catching those sneaky AI teleprompters even Zoom misses? Genius! 👏). The "smart surveillance over passive recording" approach is a game-changer for rebuilding trust!
💡 Quick idea: What if you add real-time intervention (e.g. pop-up alerts when cheating detected) or let companies customize detection thresholds per role (e.g. eng vs. support)?
P.S. We’re building a no-code agent builder Tate-A-Tate – your anti-cheat tech as an API Skill could empower thousands of no-code interview agents! Let’s chat collab? 🔥
@rocsheh Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the thoughtful note. You nailed it - we wanted Sherlock to feel active and intelligent, not just another passive recorder.
And yes, we already support real-time pop-up alerts when cheating is detected. Custom thresholds by role is a great idea. It’s definitely on our radar.
Tate-A-Tate sounds super interesting. Would love to connect and explore how we can team up!
few thoughts here. Do what you do and get your money. I respect that. First thing that came to mind was privacy issues. Does the interviewee even know this application can view/have access to the content on their screen? Is this legal or is there a disclaimer the interviewee is made aware of? Reminds me of TeamViewer, obviously the same thing. If no disclaimer is needed and this is legal, what hoops did you have to jump through? You would have needed to manipulate the application to only do certain tasks so it wouldn't violate certain privacy laws right? Obviously I could look all this up but just thinking out loud here in the thread.
