Send a take-home. Get back work you can actually trust.

Invite a candidate by email. They solve your problem in a real, AI-paired workspace on a timer that auto-submits at the deadline. You review the code, the recording, and how they got there - all in one place.

Use cases

When this feature earns its keep.

Three concrete patterns. Use them as templates for your own setup.

Replace the unverifiable GitHub zip

A pasted-in repo tells you nothing about how it was built. A Typelets submission carries the session recording and the AI transcript, so you see the path to the answer, not just the final commit.

Give everyone the same fair shot

Every candidate gets an identical sandboxed environment and the same clock. Pick a fixed time limit that auto-submits, or a due date with a late flag. No setup lottery, no "my laptop died" asterisks.

Review on your own schedule

On submit the workspace freezes read-only. Browse the files, replay the session, read the transcript, and score against your rubric whenever you get to it. Nothing changes under you.

Setup

How the setup looks.

An assessment is a normal workspace with a problem and a rubric attached. You invite candidates to it by email; each gets their own private copy.

Same workspace, same auth, same collaboration features as every other Typelets workspace. See all features

  1. Apply a problem and a rubric

    Start from the problem library or write your own: starter files, a prompt, and the criteria you want to score against (correctness, design, communication, whatever fits).

  2. Invite the candidate by email

    Send an invite from the assessment. The candidate gets a link, signs in, and accepts. Accepting clones the assessment into a private workspace that only they and your reviewers can see.

  3. They start the timed session

    The candidate clicks Start when ready. A fixed time limit auto-submits at the deadline; a due-date assessment stays open and just flags late submissions. Either way the clock is server-side and the same for everyone.

  4. You review and score

    The submission appears in your sidebar the moment it lands. Open the files read-only, replay the recording, read the AI transcript, and score against the rubric - with an AI-drafted first pass if you want one.

FAQ

What is the difference between a timed and a due-date assessment?
A timed assessment starts when the candidate clicks Start and auto-submits when the time limit runs out. A due-date assessment is open until a calendar deadline and never auto-submits; submissions after the deadline are accepted but flagged late. You choose per assessment.
Can the candidate keep working after they submit?
No. On submit (or when a timed session expires) the workspace freezes read-only for everyone, so what you review is exactly what was submitted. The reviewer view is read-only too.
Does the candidate need to install anything?
Nothing. It is a browser workspace with the runtime, editor, and terminal already set up. They open the link and start coding.
Can I see how the candidate used AI?
Yes. If the assessment has the AI assistant enabled, every prompt the candidate typed and every reply is saved to a transcript you can read on review. See the candidate AI assistant and AI-assisted grading features.
