TASK.md

complete the following task with sour code, explanation and referencs if available. Overview:

At REM Waste, we’re building intelligent tools to automate real hiring decisions. As part of your interview, we’d like you to complete a practical challenge that reflects the kind of work you’ll be doing here—solving real-world problems using AI tools.

Challenge Task:

Objective:

Build a working script or simple tool that can do the following:

1. Accept a public video URL (e.g., Loom or direct MP4 link).

2. Extract the audio from the video.

3. Analyze the speaker’s accent to detect English language speaking candidates.

4. Output:

• Classification of the accent (e.g., British, American, Australian, etc.)

• A confidence in English accent score (e.g., 0-100%)

• A short summary or explanation (optional)

This tool will be used internally to help evaluate spoken English for hiring purposes.

What We're Looking For:

Top Priority:

• Practicality – Can you build something that actually works?

• Creativity – Did you come up with a smart or resourceful solution?

• Technical Execution – Is it clean, testable, and logically structured?

You’re free to use any tools or languages you’re comfortable with (Python, JavaScript, no-code tools, open-source APIs, etc.).

Deliverables:

• A working script, notebook, or small app (CLI, Streamlit, Flask—your choice)

• Deploy it somewhere with simple UI so it can be tested by clicking the link

• You can submit your work [72 hours from the receipt of this email] via this form: https://forms.gle/PTdcsAUGCKUi1BKP6.

Time Expectation:

This task is unpaid, so please don’t spend more than 4–6 hours. We’re looking for working proof-of-concept, not perfection. If you already have something similar, feel free to repurpose or expand it.
