A clear comparison of Maki vs Alex AI across interview automation, assessment science, candidate verification, global experience, and enterprise deployment.
Overview
Alex AI is an AI recruiter built around automated first-round interviews. It runs conversations by video, phone, SMS and WhatsApp, screens resumes, scores applications for fraud risk, verifies identity, books interviews, and rediscovers talent already sitting in the ATS, with 33+ supported ATS integrations and 30 languages.
Maki provides a broader hiring intelligence suite. Alongside conversational screening and automated scheduling, it measures candidates with 300+ validated assessments built and maintained by an in-house science team, turning every interaction into structured, comparable skill data across roles and markets.
Where Alex AI concentrates on automating the first-round conversation at volume, Maki combines that conversation with validated skill measurement, so the output is a scored signal teams can compare, defend and reuse.

If Alex AI helps organizations talk to every candidate, Maki helps them measure every candidate, and understand which signal actually predicts performance.
