They asked me about 5 or so questions. The interview was very easy and laidback. The interviewer would be typing out the answers I had responded to about the question. The interview was conducted via a program similar to Skype.

"Give us a time where _____ happened and how you responded"
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at US Patent and Trademark Office (Oxnard, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
I've only done the digital one, where I recorded myself, and it was fairly easy. You got chances to redo your recording, which was nice, and you had a minute before you read the question to prepare your answer. I found it to be intuitive.
