Talview Secures First U.S. Patent for Alvy - Agentic AI Proctoring

Written by Team Talview | Aug 12, '2025

We are incredibly proud to announce a groundbreaking milestone in Talview's innovation journey we have been awarded our first U.S. patent (Patent No. US 12,361,115 B1) for Alvy, the world's first Agentic AI proctoring solution. Granted on July 15, 2025, this patent represents more than just intellectual property recognition it validates our vision of reimagining assessment security for the AI age.

Alvy Setting a New Standard in Proctoring with Patented Agentic Intelligence

The Alvy Advantage: Intelligence That Thinks, Adapts, and Protects

Co-invented by our CEO Sanjoe Tom Jose and CTO Subramanian Kailasam, Alvy represents a fundamental shift from passive monitoring to intelligent, autonomous protection. While most platforms are still patching legacy systems with outdated approaches, Alvy operates as a true agentic system perceiving, deciding, and acting independently to safeguard the integrity of remote interviews and high-stakes examinations.

"Most platforms are still patching legacy systems," explains CEO Sanjoe Jose. 

"Alvy reimagines proctoring by bringing genuine artificial intelligence that can think, adapt, and outsmart even the most sophisticated cheating tools. This patent validates that maintaining trust in the AI age requires intelligence, not just observation."

This perspective reflects a critical industry reality traditional proctoring solutions were built for a pre-AI world and are fundamentally inadequate for today's sophisticated threat landscape.

Rising Threats Demand Revolutionary Solutions

The landscape of academic and professional dishonesty has evolved dramatically. Traditional proctoring solutions were designed for a different era one without AI-powered cheating tools like Cluely, sophisticated deepfake technology, and AI assistants that can provide real-time answers during assessments.

Our patented approach specifically targets these AI-assisted cheating tools, including deepfake-driven impersonators and ChatGPT misuse threats that legacy systems cannot even detect, let alone counter effectively.

Why This Patent Matters: Trust at Scale

Our patent protection covers AI-based systems and methods powered by large language models (LLMs) that analyze real-time media data to detect abnormal behavior. But Alvy goes beyond detection it's designed to both protect and assist, creating a fair and transparent assessment experience while maintaining the highest security standards.

Alvy's patented capabilities include:

  • Autonomous Decision-Making: Real-time threat assessment without rigid rule-based limitations
  • Advanced Deepfake & AI Detection: Identifying synthetic media and AI-generated responses
  • Behavioral Intelligence: Recognizing subtle patterns of external AI assistance
  • Contextual Understanding: LLM-powered nuanced threat evaluation
  • Adaptive Learning: Continuous evolution to counter emerging cheating methods
  • Candidate Assistance: Real-time, empathetic support that reduces stress and clarifies instructions

Industry Leaders Validate Our Approach

The results speak for themselves, and our partners have experienced the transformative difference firsthand. Leading organizations across various sectors have embraced our technology:

"We don't just have a tech delivery mechanism. We have partners," shares Best Buy, highlighting the collaborative relationship that extends beyond mere technology provision.

Cambridge Assessment, dealing with global-scale educational assessments, emphasizes scalability: "We needed something that could be rolled out at scale globally. We have fantastic experience working with Talview."

Perhaps most significantly, Cognizant recognizes our human-centered approach: "Everyone receives a uniform experience. We haven't received feedback suggesting it feels mechanized or inhuman." This feedback underscores a critical aspect of Alvy while it provides maximum security, it maintains the human touch that candidates need for a positive assessment experience.

Proven Results That Transform Organizations

The data validates our approach conclusively. Alvy detects 8x more suspicious activities than legacy AI proctoring systems while recognizing 99% of events that human proctors would flag. Most remarkably, we've achieved 35% higher candidate satisfaction through our real-time, context-aware assistance approach proving that security and user experience aren't mutually exclusive.

Empowering Organizations to Scale with Confidence

This patent enables organizations to confidently scale their remote assessment programs without compromising security or candidate experience. Whether you're conducting high-volume recruitment drives, administering professional certifications, or managing academic examinations, Alvy's Agentic AI provides the intelligent protection your organization needs.

The Future of Assessment Security Starts Here

As trusted partners in over 120 countries, we continue to combine advanced Agentic AI with enterprise-grade security to deliver faster, more reliable decisions without compromising trust. This patent recognition validates our commitment to pioneering the next generation of assessment technology.
