What Maki sells
“The intelligence running your hiring, end to end.” Maki is a set of named AI agents that sit on top of an employer’s ATS. Shiro screens skills, Mochi runs voice screening 24/7 in 45+ languages, Ken runs deep assessments, Kumi schedules interviews, and Tomo records, structures and scores the human interview. Each candidate ends with a hire recommendation card. Maki does not source candidates. Humans run the final interview and decide. Use cases include frontline, early talent, specialists and staffing. [1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Its AI. Five named agents: Shiro (skills screener), Mochi (voice interviewer), Ken (deep assessment), Kumi (interview scheduling and “data insights”) and Tomo (interview co-pilot). Shiro and Mochi have independent bias audits under NYC Local Law 144, the vendor says. [2]
The AI capabilities it sells today, as the map reads its site: named agents, AI interviews, AI analytics, AI assessments, fraud and identity, screening and ranking, interview notes and scheduling [2].
Where Maki fits in hiring

| Screen | Core | Decide who moves on: resume review, matching, chat screening, AI interviews, assessments. |
| Interview | Core | Run the interviews: scheduling, interview intelligence, notes, scorecards. |
| Hire | Not found | Close and start: offers, background checks, onboarding, compliance, HR records. |
| Report | Partial | Report on hiring and the workforce: recruiting analytics, people analytics, workforce planning. |

The map’s fit note: Frontline page: “Maki runs voice screening, skills checks, and scheduling 24/7, so every shift is staffed.” Ken covers “technical assessments.” Audit logs and AI-law documentation, but not background or clearance checks. [2]
