SG startup Fuku.AI unveils video interview tool “Fiona” for hiring
Fuku.AI, a Singapore-based startup providing recruitment tools for SMEs in Asia, has launched Fiona, an AI-powered video interviewer for high-volume hiring.
Fiona autonomously conducts 10-minute video interviews using an avatar, asks follow-up questions, and generates summary reports for hiring managers.
The tool is integrated with applicant tracking and HR systems, and can evaluate candidates for roles such as sales, engineering, and back-end positions.
Candidates receive transcripts and feedback explaining how their responses were assessed.
Fiona is now available globally, with the company reporting early traction among Southeast Asian SMEs.

- Only 18 of 391 employers posted required audit reports under NYC’s law 1. Auditors can fill the gap with skills in bias, disparate impact (i.e., seemingly neutral practices that disproportionately harm protected groups), plus legal context 5.
- SMEs can buy bundled compliance packages. Include contract reviews for liability allocation 6, audit trails for AI decision influence 1, plus notification steps. Illinois’ law effective January 2026 requires employee notice about AI use 1.
