What is Lentara?
Lentara turns your codebase, tickets, and job descriptions into real, AI-generated work-trials. A candidate builds an actual feature in their own environment, and you get back a graded, evidence-cited report of how they work. It replaces generic puzzles and hand-graded take-homes.
Where does it fit in my pipeline?
Wherever you need a high-signal read on how someone actually builds. Teams use it up front, in place of a screening call or a manual take-home, or later as a work-sample before an onsite. Either way, your engineers stop grading and start meeting people who can already build.
Can candidates use AI?
Yes, and we encourage it. Candidates use the same AI tools they would have on the job. Lentara tracks every prompt and analyzes how they reasoned, refined, and made decisions. How someone works with AI is signal, not something to hide from.
How does grading work?
Every submission runs in a live sandbox against a deterministic test harness for correctness, specific to your assessment. Configurable graders then evaluate qualitative dimensions like architecture and process. Every score is cited to the exact files and lines it came from. No black-box numbers.
Can I bring my own assessment?
Yes. Bring your existing take-home or coding problem and we will host and grade it, or let Lentara generate one from your codebase, tickets, and job descriptions. Either way you get consistent, cited scoring.
What if we can't share our code?
That is fine. Connecting your codebase and tickets makes assessments sharper, but none of it is required. Lentara is fully configurable: share as much or as little as you are comfortable with, and we will scope the work-trial around it.
Does Lentara work with my ATS?
Yes. Candidates sync to and from Ashby, Greenhouse, and Lever automatically, or you can manage them end to end on Lentara. Nothing about your pipeline has to change.
How do you know the work is really theirs?
Lentara tracks file iteration, commit history, and AI prompts across the whole build, and every candidate records a short walkthrough explaining their decisions. Copied or hand-waved work does not survive the walkthrough or the process trace.
How is Lentara priced?
Custom contracts based on your hiring needs and volume. Email founders@lentara.ai and we will put together a plan that fits.
How do we get started?
Book a demo and we will build your first work-trial from your own context. Most teams are sending assessments to candidates within a few days.
