The backstory
Paradox's assistant Olivia chats with candidates to screen, answer questions and book interviews. Modern LLM assistants now hold far more natural hiring conversations out of the box, and custom GPTs replicate screening flows cheaply. The conversational-recruiter concept it pioneered is now a commodity capability. As general assistants match its core interaction, the differentiator collapses toward killed.
