Checkmate
Autonomous AI voice interviewer for expert calls; site offline
Checkmate developed an AI voice agent that recruited experts and ran hour-long interviews autonomously, choosing follow-up questions in real time, for primary research and diligence at hedge funds, PE firms and consultancies. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, its website went offline in 2026.
GAII take
Concept persists at DiligenceSquared and ApexMake; buyers should probe expert-compliance screening, which is harder to supervise without a human interviewer.
