What you'll learn

Why Generic Answers Fail

Understand why generic RAG or agent demo answers fail in senior AI interviews.

How to Structure AI System Design Answer

Structure an Agentic AI system design answer using a senior-engineer framing.

How to Explain Architecture

Explain the core architecture of a RAG + agent workflow.

Tools, Guardrails, HITL

Identify where tools, guardrails, human approval, and policy checks fit in the system.

Failure Mode Discussion

Discuss failure modes such as wrong retrieval, hallucination, tool failure, and policy violation.
