TLDR

  • Describe the interview you want in ChatGPT and Tracy AI Interviewer drafts it. Candidates take a video interview with CV-based questions and follow-ups, and you get a recording, a timed transcript and integrity signals.
  • ChatGPT returns a draft with the questions and result fields (Tracy is listed as Tracy at Qode), and nothing is created until you approve it. ChatGPT reaches Tracy through MCP, and teams can also connect through the API.
  • Read the results later in the same chat by asking for them. ChatGPT gets one permission, named tracy, and acts only on your own account.
  • Candidates install nothing. Your first 3 results are free.

With Tracy AI Interviewer in ChatGPT, you set up and start interviews by describing them. Tracy can read the CV and tailor questions to it and to the role, follow up on what the person says and wait for the end of their answer, and leave a recording, a transcript timed to the recording and integrity signals with evidence for a person to review. ChatGPT reaches Tracy through MCP, and teams can also connect through the API.

If you searched for a ChatGPT interview app, you may be looking for a way to practise your own answers. This page is for the other side of the table: someone who runs interviews and wants to set one up by describing it. If you are weighing what an AI interviewer is in the first place, start with what an AI interviewer is and how it works.

Tracy's ChatGPT guide puts it in one line: install Tracy AI Interviewer in ChatGPT, set up an interview, and read its results by asking for them in a chat.

What you can do from the chat

  • Describe who you want to interview and what you need to learn. Tracy drafts the interview, and ChatGPT shows you the title, the questions and the result fields.
  • Ask for changes to the draft, then approve it.
  • Come back later and ask for the results.

The interview is a two-way video interview. Candidates join from a link in the browser, and the person being interviewed installs nothing. The report that comes back is organised around the fields you chose, with the transcript and recording behind it, which AI interview reports explains from a reviewer's side.

Install it from ChatGPT Plugins

  1. Open the listing. Use the link on the guide, or go to ChatGPT Plugins and search for "Tracy at Qode". The listing name is Tracy at Qode.
  2. Click Install plugin.
  3. Continue to the sign-in and click Allow. When ChatGPT asks to connect the plugin, click Continue, then complete the Tracy AI Interviewer sign-in there.
  4. Start a new conversation, type @ in the prompt box and select Tracy at Qode.
  5. Send a starter prompt, then review the draft.

The draft comes back in the chat with the title, the questions and the result fields. Nothing is created until you approve it.

Prompts to try

These are the starter prompts on the guide:

Set up an English video interview to screen 5 candidates for a backend engineer role.

Draft an English video interview to check references for a designer I want to hire.

Let me try a practice video interview first, so I can see what my candidates will go through.

The third one lets you take the interview yourself, so you see what a candidate sees before you invite anyone.

What you approve, and what ChatGPT can do

ChatGPT shows the interview as a draft before anything is created. Read it, ask for changes and say yes when it is right. When ChatGPT opens the Tracy AI Interviewer sign-in, you click Allow to approve access. That asks for one permission, named tracy, and ChatGPT acts only on your own account.

You can cut ChatGPT off at any time: open your account, then Connected AI apps, and revoke it. That check is also how you confirm the connection worked, because the app is listed there with the time you connected it.

If you cannot find it: add it as a custom MCP server

Use this if Tracy at Qode does not show up in ChatGPT Plugins for you. You need ChatGPT on the web. Account and workspace policies apply, so on a work or school workspace an admin may need to allow custom MCP servers first. If you do not see Add custom MCP server, turn on Developer mode in your ChatGPT settings.

  1. Go to ChatGPT Plugins, select Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Tracy at Qode and paste https://tracyinterview.ai/mcp as the Server URL.
  3. For Authentication, choose OAuth.
  4. Review the risk warning and select "I understand and want to continue".
  5. Select Create as a plugin, install it and start a new conversation. Finish the Tracy sign-in when ChatGPT opens it.

Limits

  • Account and workspace policies apply to adding and using custom MCP servers, and a work workspace may need an admin first.
  • If ChatGPT is not listed under Connected AI apps in your account, the sign-in was not finished. Start a new conversation, select Tracy at Qode with @ and finish it.
  • Tracy's home page notes that listing a tool there does not mean a partnership or an endorsement.

If your candidates live in Workable, the same chat can bring them in: see AI interviews with Workable. If your team talks in Slack, Tracy also works there.

What it costs

Tracy's first 3 results are free. After that one credit covers each started 20 minutes of an interview that produced a result, at $7 per credit. A session with no answers is never charged. The AI interview cost guide sets that beside other tools' published prices.

Questions

Is this an app for practising my own job interview?
No. Tracy AI Interviewer is for the person running interviews. It sets up an interview, invites participants and writes up what they said. One starter prompt lets you try a practice video interview first, so you can see what your candidates will go through.
Will ChatGPT create an interview without my approval?
No. ChatGPT shows the interview as a draft, and nothing is created until you approve it.
What permission does ChatGPT get?
One permission, named tracy. It acts only on your own account, and you can revoke it under Connected AI apps in your Tracy account.
What if Tracy at Qode is not in ChatGPT Plugins for me?
Add it as a custom MCP server with the server address `https://tracyinterview.ai/mcp`, the name Tracy at Qode and OAuth. If you do not see Add custom MCP server, turn on Developer mode, and on a work or school workspace an admin may need to allow custom MCP servers.
Do my candidates need ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT is for the person running the interview. The person being interviewed installs nothing and joins from a link in the browser.
