About Build Zeroist

We build AI that listens, evaluates, and coaches

Build Zeroist is creating the voice AI engine behind real-time assessments. Our first product, ZeroPitch, conducts live AI interviews that screen candidates in 10 minutes and deliver scored, evidence-backed reports. The same engine will power education, coaching, and professional development next.

Who We Are

Build Zeroist

Build Zeroist is a technology company headquartered in India, building a voice AI assessment engine that powers real-time, spoken evaluations across industries. Our flagship product, ZeroPitch, is a cloud-based SaaS platform that conducts live, voice-based AI interviews for hiring teams and job seekers globally.

Our mission is to make structured, evidence-based assessment accessible to everyone. We started with hiring because it is the most broken, highest-impact entry point. The same engine is being extended into education, exam preparation, language coaching, and professional training.

Why Hiring First

Screening is broken, and it is the perfect proving ground

First-round interviews are the single biggest bottleneck in hiring. Every open role burns 10 to 15 hours of recruiter time on repetitive screening calls that never scale. It is high-frequency, high-stakes, and globally consistent, making it the ideal first domain for a voice AI assessment engine.

$4,700

Average cost per hire (SHRM), with screening as the most time-intensive stage

10-15 hrs

Spent per role on first-round screening interviews alone

The Platform

One engine. Many products.

At the core of everything is a domain-agnostic voice AI engine powered by large language models. It handles real-time speech, adaptive dialogue, and structured scoring. We configure the same engine for different domains and audiences, and each new product shares the same infrastructure.

Voice AI Assessment Engine

The foundation of everything we build. A real-time voice pipeline combining speech-to-text, large language model reasoning, adaptive dialogue, structured scoring, and text-to-speech into a single, sub-700ms loop.
