ByteFoundry AI

BotFriday AI is an AI-native engineering recruitment firm. We hire engineers and engineering leaders in India, and you get a short list of strong candidates instead of a stream of CVs. You pay only when you hire.

We were founded by an ex-Meta engineer who went on to lead engineering teams. Behind the scenes, AI runs our operations. In front, you get an account manager, a real person to work with. An engineer sets the bar for every role, and every application is checked against it, not just the first few. Junior and mid-level candidates take an AI-powered interview scored to that bar; senior and leadership candidates speak with an engineering leader. Every shortlisted candidate comes with a report: the resume assessment, the interview summary, the transcript and the score.

We also build the software we hire with, and any team can use it for any role: AI-powered forms, resume screening and structured AI interviews. Trusted by teams at Y Combinator-backed startups and growing companies across India.

Building the future with AI.

Babblebots AI is re-crafting how hiring happens in India and the world; We pioneered AI Recruiter / Agents in India before they were cool, and have deployed 10,000+ agents in production. Our AI agents source, screen and interview candidates 24×7 - helping founders and talent leaders hire 10x faster.

Most teams are trying to hire AI talent with tools built for a pre-AI world.

Today:

1,000+ founders, recruiters and CHROs trust Babblebots.

200,000+ candidates have interviewed with our AI recruiters – creating millions of minutes of structured, high-fidelity conversational AI data.

These teams are compounding an advantage in a market where signal matters more than credentials.

The best AI talent isn’t waiting on job boards.

And every month of slow hiring quietly increases talent debt and stalls product velocity.

That’s why we built Babblebots AI, a unified hiring system for AI-first teams that want speed without losing evaluation quality.

Babblebots uses state-of-the-art LLMs, voice-AI, video intelligence and our proprietary models to evaluate skills, communication and soft skills across 1,000+ roles.

Structured signals replace resume-level noise and gut feel.

About The Team

We are a bunch of BITS Pilani graduates that started BiteSpeed out of our dorm rooms. When we started we hardly knew much about running a company, in fact most of us hadn’t written a line of code in our lives.

We were inspired by companies like Postman and Freshworks which have built market leading software companies from India and had a desire to create something world-class which we could be proud of.

So we jumped off the cliff and built a parachute on our way down (just as Reid Hoffman likes to say).

We could make a long, boring list of 20 company values but by now you probably do get a gist of the kind of people we are. We are young, ambitious self-learners on a journey to create a globally competitive software company from India.
