We Built an AI Recruiter Coach in 6 Hours (Plus Claude Cowork in Real Time)

Can you really build serious internal AI tools in a few hours — and should everyone on your team be doing it?

In Episode 29 of Built This Week, Sam Nadler and Jordan Metzner break down an internal AI product they built at Ryz Labs called ScreenEval — a recruiter screen analysis and coaching tool built in under six hours using Claude Code, Supabase, and AWS.

We start with a live demo. Sam walks through how ScreenEval ingests recruiter screen transcripts, evaluates candidates, scores recruiter performance, and provides concrete coaching feedback — all without overriding human judgment. The real unlock is turning messy interview transcripts into searchable, structured hiring data across the entire organization.

From there, we test Claude Cowork live — Anthropic’s new interface designed to make building accessible to non-technical users — and compare it to running Claude Code directly in the terminal. We discuss where Cowork shines, where terminal-based workflows still win, and why managing multiple AI agents is becoming a core skill.

We wrap with AI news, including Anthropic’s massive funding round, pricing changes, and why enterprise-focused AI tooling is pulling spend away from other platforms.

No hype.
No abstractions.
Just what actually happens when you put AI to work inside a real company.
