Sherlock Product Updates: September & October 2026

Reliable Calendar Auto-Join: Resolved issues with Google Calendar detection to ensure Sherlock reliably joins scheduled interview calls.

Faster Video Playback: Optimizations to recording delivery allow interview videos to start playing immediately without buffering delays.

New Joining Rules: Configure Sherlock to appear at every scheduled meeting while your team decides whom to admit into the call.

Independent Meeting Protection: Customize how Sherlock handles and protects meetings it joins autonomously.

Precise Interview Timestamps: Every interview report now records and displays the exact, real-time start and end time of the session.

Guided Setup with Sherlock Agent: Sherlock Agent walks new users through setup—tell it about yourself, connect your calendar, try a dry run, and invite team members. Once complete, the onboarding card collapses to display "You're all set".

In-Page Interview Creation: Create an interview inside a modal window without navigating away from your current page.

Enhanced Interview Sorting & Filtering: Sort your entire interview list newest or oldest first, and filter by status across all records.

At a Glance View: Opens defaulted to "All time" and displays the current date period along with pagination controls.

The interview list no longer times out on large accounts.

"High risk" definitions and counts match consistently between the list view and individual reports.

Legacy AI Reports now feature direct links to the new 2.0 report format wherever accessed.

Dual-Agent Architecture: Every interview is independently analyzed by the Context Agent (interview logic and Q&A consistency) and the Reading Agent (speech patterns and non-verbal cues).

Higher Precision & Fewer False Alarms: High-risk status requires corroborating evidence from multiple sources. Looking away from the camera on its own is no longer flagged.

18 Signals, 4 Clear Questions: Findings are grouped under four straightforward questions to help reviewers assess authenticity:

1-Click Timestamp Playback: Click any flagged evidence item to instantly jump to that exact moment in the recording.

Transparent Scoring & "Not Assessed" Status: Score breakdowns show exactly how points were deducted. Any unverified check displays as "Not Assessed" instead of a pass.

Interview Notes & Sharing: Single-page summary containing takeaways, question-by-question responses, and searchable transcripts with video syncing. Share any report via direct web link or export as a PDF.

Legacy Report Access: Toggle back to previous report views directly within the app until October 15, 2026.

Downloadable Transcripts: Generate and download full interview transcripts from the share menu on completed meetings.

Integrated Summaries: Meeting summaries now appear directly under Interview Notes with one-click download options.

Instant Notifications: Connect custom Slack webhooks under Settings → Integrations.

Webhook Testing: Send a test message directly from the dashboard to verify connection setup.

Location Context: View candidate IP locations directly within the report interface.

Configuration: Enable under Settings → Additional Security.

Note: IP tracking is provided for contextual reference only and does not influence risk scores.

Self-Service Deletion: Account administrators can delete their account directly under Settings.

Safety Confirmation: Includes an explicit confirmation step prior to data removal.

Auto-Installer Detection: A single download button automatically identifies and selects the correct OS installer for candidates.

Direct Invite Links: Candidates launch Sherlock directly from their invite page with no session codes required.

Personalized Calendar Invites: Auto-joined Google Calendar interviews generate personal candidate invite links automatically.

Navigation Switch: Toggle between Agent and API views via the sidebar switch; API settings have moved out of the main Settings panel.
