Ashby adds threaded comments to AI Notetaker, so interview debriefs stay next to the transcript.

recruitingai notetakerinterview collaborationapprovalscandidate privacy
◆Current state
Ashby ships small admin, form and scheduling changes almost daily. On November 12 AI Notetaker gained threaded comments pinned to moments in the recording, a day after Transcript Only mode let teams keep notes without storing audio or video. The same 24 hours added required reasons for force approvals, resending of skipped Quality of Hire surveys and a cleaner take-home layout in interview briefs.
◆Where it's heading
AI Notetaker is turning into the place where hiring teams discuss a candidate, with privacy controls and collaboration arriving in the same week. Around it, Ashby keeps adding audit and governance options, such as approval reasons, that larger customers ask for.
◆Prediction
Expect AI Notetaker comments and notes to feed scorecards or debrief summaries next; the entries do not yet show that link.

    Leave comments in AI Notetaker

    Interviewers can comment on specific moments of an AI Notetaker recording, reply in threads and mention teammates. Following Transcript Only mode the day before, it makes Notetaker the place where a debrief happens, not just a record.
