Why Clariox is different

They measure how you speak. We measure if you'd get the outcome.

Most coaching tools count filler words and speaking pace. Clariox evaluates whether your interview answer would get you hired, your pitch would close the deal, or your feedback would resolve the conflict.

Speaking pace: 142 wpm

Hiring Manager

"Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult technical decision under pressure."

Your answer

"We had a production outage affecting 50k users. I proposed switching to a circuit breaker pattern instead of the quick fix the team wanted. It took 2 extra hours but reduced incidents by 80% over the next quarter."

How it works

Three steps. Real conversation. Actionable feedback.

Choose your scenario

Pick from interviews, negotiations, feedback sessions, pitches, or create a custom scenario for your exact situation.

Have the conversation

Speak naturally with an AI that responds like a real person — asking follow-ups, pushing back, and challenging your answers.

Get outcome feedback

Not just how you sounded — whether you achieved the goal. Competency scores, hiring recommendations, and specific coaching.
