How they typically work
An AI interviewer asks you questions by voice or text, and you answer on camera. Interviews usually last 15–30 minutes. Questions typically cover your background, a few questions in your field, and sometimes a short problem to reason through out loud.
The recording and a transcript are usually reviewed and scored — sometimes by software, sometimes also by a person. Clear audio and structured answers matter.

Technical problems are the most avoidable reason for a weak interview.

Prepare your answers
Prepare short stories about your real work: a problem, what you did, and the result. Most interviews ask some version of 'tell me about yourself', 'describe a difficult problem you solved', and 'how would you approach…' in your field.
For each field question, think out loud. Say what you are assuming, what you would check, and why. Reasoning is often scored more heavily than the final answer.

During the interview
Speak clearly and a little slower than normal. If you do not understand a question, say so and answer the part you do understand. If you do not know something, say how you would find out — do not invent an answer.
Do not read from a script or use another AI tool. Interviews are designed to detect this, and it usually leads to rejection.
Tips for beginners
If English is not your first language, that is fine. Clear and simple is better than complex and unclear. Practise your introduction until it feels natural.
Tips for experienced contributors
Go deeper than you would in a normal screening call. Name specific tools, standards and trade-offs. Mention where the common answer is wrong and why — that is what expert evaluators are paid to notice.
