Using AI for Interview Summaries

Using AI for Interview Summaries

Welcome to the first quick article on how I use AI in my everyday work! Today, I want to share a recent experience where AI, specifically Microsoft Copilot, made a huge difference in my workday.

The Challenge

I had to interview five people, asking them the same set of business related questions. Taking detailed notes during each interview was time-consuming, and the thought of manually analyzing all that data was overwhelming.

The AI Solution

  1. Effortless Summarization: After all interviews were conducted, I simply copied and pasted my notes into Copilot. In no time, it provided clear and concise summaries, saving me hours of manual work.
  2. Insightful Trend Analysis: I asked Copilot to look for common trends in the responses. It quickly highlighted key insights that might have taken me much longer to identify on my own.
  3. Risk and Opportunity Assessment: Copilot went a step further by evaluating the data to identify potential risks and opportunities based on each person's answers. This analysis was incredibly valuable for making informed decisions.

The Impact

Using AI not only streamlined my workflow but also made the entire process more efficient and less tedious. It was like having a smart assistant who could handle the heavy lifting, allowing me to focus on what really mattered.

Quick Summarization Before Meetings: One of the most impressive moments was when I had a meeting to review the interview results. Just 15 minutes before the meeting, I used Copilot to summarize all the interviews. This quick turnaround allowed me to present the findings confidently and ensured I didn't miss any critical points.

Personal Reflection

This experience reinforced my belief in the power of AI to transform everyday tasks. By automating the more mundane aspects of my job, I was able to enhance my productivity and gain deeper insights from the data. It was like having my own personal assistant that could perform a detailed analysis and present it in a clear and concise format in a few minutes. It also reduced the stress associated with managing large volumes of information.

I hope you enjoyed this first look at how AI helps me in my daily work. Stay tuned for future AI use cases!

Great stuff, Jon! I recently used AI in a similar fashion. Not only did I use it post-interview, as you did to compile notes, but also pre-interview to quickly evaluate candidate résumés, and see how and where their experience aligns with the job description. It pulled together pros and cons and helped guide interview questions around candidates strengths and weaknesses.
