Teammates.ai alternative: job role-plays, with the camera optional
Teammates.ai is easy to like. Its plans are published, from free to $100 a month, and one vendor gives you AI agents for support, sales and recruiting. Its recruiting agent, Sara, runs live AI video interviews and pushes ranked reports to your ATS.
Two things show up once you use it for hiring. Sara’s interviews need a camera. And the scoring rubrics are general, not built around a situation from the job you are filling.
The short version
- Format: Sara runs live video interviews that require a camera. Greet is a voice conversation; the camera is your call.
- Content: Sara uses general rubrics. Greet lets the AI play a customer, caller or patient, and scores on blocks you define.
- Focus: recruiting is one Teammates.ai product among several. Greet is built for screening and training conversations.
What Teammates.ai is
Teammates.ai offers AI “teammates” for support, sales and recruiting, with a UAE-focused offering for MENA businesses. Sara, the recruiting agent, interviews candidates live on video in Arabic, English and other languages, then sends ranked reports to your ATS.
It does that well. Entry pricing is low and public, it handles Arabic including Gulf dialects, and if you also want AI agents for support and sales, one vendor covers all three.
Where it falls short
From its own pricing and solution pages:
- The camera is required. Live video interviews filter out people who apply from a phone on a bus, or who simply do not want to be on camera for a first screen.
- Rubrics are general. They are not built around role-plays from your job.
- Recruiting shares the roadmap. It is one of several products, not the core focus.
What Greet does instead
The camera is a setting
Greet works in the browser on desktop or phone, or Greet can phone the applicant. Leave the camera off for roles where appearance does not matter. Turn on Camera Required (the session will not start until the camera is on and uncovered) when you need it. Push to Talk helps in noisy rooms, and candidates can type if they prefer.
The interview is a scene from the job
You write up to 10 questions or scenarios. The AI can play the other person: a customer whose card was charged twice, a supplier pushing a late delivery, an angry caller who wants a manager. It asks follow-ups and stays in role. You hear how the candidate actually handles it.
Your criteria, not a general rubric
Define assessment blocks like product knowledge, de-escalation, English level or problem-solving. Each session returns a match rate, a summary, the transcript and the recording (Pro and above). If you disagree with a score, listen to the part that produced it.
Built for one job, then the next
Greet is for screening and training conversations. After the hire, the same scenarios become role-play practice, and you track progress in the same dashboard. Pricing is public too: Pro is $99 a month for 100 sessions, Enterprise $200 a month for 500.
