## Summary

Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss a project by Carnegie Mellon University master's students Kai and Agarwal, who developed an AI-driven system to provide real-time emotional feedback during job interviews. The system leverages computer vision and a diverse dataset accessed via Hume AI's API to help young professionals improve their non-verbal communication. The hosts explore potential extensions of the technology, such as integrating large language models for tailored questions or applying it to PR coaching and legal defense scenarios.
