Aural is a platform for conducting structured interviews by chat, voice, or video, either live or asynchronously. Its AI interviewer adjusts follow-up depth, tone, and direction in response to participants. Sessions can be recorded, are automatically transcribed and summarized, and can be exported as structured XLSX or PDF data. Templates support open-ended, multiple-choice, rating-scale, coding, and whiteboard questions. The platform supports interview languages including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German. Aural provides a REST API with Bearer-token authentication and an OpenAPI specification. It is open source under the MIT license and can be self-hosted; that version supports pluggable LLMs such as OpenAI, Kimi, MiniMax, or compatible APIs. Aural states that it encrypts stored data with AES-256 and data in transit with TLS 1.3, and complies with GDPR and other global privacy regulations. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free and includes three templates, 100 AI tokens, 30 minutes of session time, and one seat. Starter costs 9.00 USD per month; Pay As You Go charges 0.08 USD per once for session time.
