Integrates with
Work samples for any toolset, backed by explanations.
Screenshares collected by context-aware AI that only listens, inquires and records.
Humans judge the result.
Next-Level Takehomes
Candidate-first terms to retain the best.
Paid
Automatic honorariums
Every completed work sample is paid out automatically via Stripe, and candidates get their own dashboard to track earnings, payout status, and history in real time.
Asynchronous
Work when it's convenient
Candidates set their own deadline and work on their own schedule, turning a self-imposed deadline into a chance to show off their reliability and follow-through.
Respectful
No surveillance
No keystroke logging, webcam monitoring, or background tracking, just a retrospective screenshare session with improv explanations.
Native Tools
Bring your own toolset
Candidates work in whatever they already know, like Claude Code, Notion, GitHub, or Figma, with no unfamiliar sandboxed tools to learn first.
Ownership
Keep what you make
Candidates retain full ownership of every work sample they produce; nothing is claimed by the hiring team, whether or not they get the job.
Constructive Assessment
Realistic take-homes, collected by AI that asks hard questions.
Candidate
As you can see here in my mockup, [uh] I made the settings intuitive, with [um] tooltips, these awesome sliders and descriptions.
Pudding Agent
I see that. It looks great! I see you chose that framework. Now, how did you decide to use this framework for this audience? Please explain your thought process.
Retrospectives
Explained work
Pudding agents watch the screenshare live and ask sharp inline questions about the decisions behind the work. Real-time probing of reasoning, not a scripted checklist.
CONTEXT AWARE
An agent that knows your stack
Frontier model AI that knows exactly what to ask in realtime.
On Demand
Start with one click
No scheduling back-and-forth. Candidates decide exactly when they're ready and open a live screenshare session with the AI agent at the click of a button.
Every engagement is scoped by the hiring team, never pulled from a generic vendor library.
Deliverable + screenshare
Submit an asset, then explain it live.
Screenshare only
The live walkthrough is the deliverable.
Job relevant
Hirer-defined engagements
No generic prompts pulled from a vendor library: hiring teams write the brief, choose deliverable-plus-explanation or explanation-only, and can anonymize submissions before review.
