The Illustrated GenAI Interview: 50 Questions, Explained in Pictures
GenAI interviews don't stop at "what is a transformer?" They test whether you can build a system that works, prove it works, keep it safe, and say what it costs. This book covers all of it, in the order interviewers ask.
Every question follows the same layout:
• Answer: what to say out loud, in plain words
• Example: a real case that makes the idea stick
• Why they ask: the skill the interviewer is really checking
• Picture and How it works: a color-coded diagram, then a step-by-step walkthrough
• Bonus point: an extra detail that makes you stand out
What's inside:
• Part 1: LLM basics (Q1–Q8)
• Part 2: Prompting and context (Q9–Q14)
• Part 3: RAG (Q15–Q24)
• Part 4: Tools, agents and MCP (Q25–Q31)
• Part 5: Evaluation (Q32–Q36)
• Part 6: Safety and security (Q37–Q40)
• Part 7: Fine-tuning (Q41–Q44)
• Part 8: Cost, speed and deployment (Q45–Q48)
• Part 9: Putting it all together (Q49–Q50): a full system-design walkthrough and how to tell the story of a project you built
• Quick review and 7-day plan: a one-line definition of all 50 answers, plus a day-by-day plan for the week before your interview
