🧠 REAL-WORLD INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Practice scenarios such as:
• How would you design a RAG system for hundreds of thousands of documents?
• What would you do when a RAG chatbot retrieves the correct document but generates an incorrect answer?
• How would you protect an AI Agent from prompt injection?
• How would you reduce LLM latency and API cost?
• How would you prevent an AI Agent from executing the same action twice?
• How would you design a secure enterprise document assistant?
• When should you use RAG instead of fine-tuning?
• How would you evaluate the quality of a production AI application?
The focus is not just “What is RAG?” but also “How would you design, troubleshoot, secure and evaluate a RAG system in production?”
