Release notes: July 7, 2025

HackerEarth now supports vibe coding assessments

HackerEarth now supports vibe coding assessments, integrating AI assistance directly into the coding environment. This feature is part of our shift toward enabling AI-supported development workflows during assessments.

• Contextual AI guidance: Candidates receive helpful, real-time support during their coding, with up to 100,000 tokens per session.
• Smart suggestions: The assistant gives useful hints and guidance without giving away the complete solution.
• In-editor code application: Candidates can apply AI suggestions directly in the editor to work faster and smoothly.

FaceCode feature updates

At HackerEarth, we’re always working to make interviews more collaborative, and FaceCode keeps improving to support that goal. Here are some of our latest updates:

• Introducing modes: Depending on your needs, you can now switch between Meeting and Interview modes during interviews. Meeting mode is set as the default mode during an interview. It is great for introductions or casual conversations during interviews. When you're ready to begin the technical part, you can easily switch to Interview mode.
• Product tour guide: We’ve added an on-demand onboarding guide for admins to help them quickly learn about the latest features. It’s a simple way to explore what’s new and get the most out of the platform.
• UI/UX Improvements: We’ve made several design improvements, including a draggable notes section to give users more flexibility during interviews.

Assessment feature update

We’re now live with a new feature that helps you keep a better track of candidate progress. Now, you can see the number of times a candidate has reset their attempts in a test, along with access to the PDF reports from their previous attempts. This makes it easier to review past performance and monitor improvements over time.
