Who it is forA software engineer with an upcoming AI or LLM engineer interview that includes a system design round.

The problemInterviewers ask open-ended AI system design questions, and the candidate needs a repeatable method and vocabulary.

The outcomeThe candidate can walk through requirements, architecture, evaluation, and monitoring for an AI system in a structured way.

What you need first

  • A web browser to open the README at https://github.com/amitshekhariitbhu/ai-system-design
  • Basic familiarity with software system design concepts such as caching, load balancing, and queues
  • A practice problem to design, such as a document Q&A assistant or a customer support agent

Steps

  1. Open https://github.com/amitshekhariitbhu/ai-system-design and read the AI System Design Learning Path section.
  2. Read How to Solve Any AI System Design Problem, Steps 1 to 8, and note the order of the framework.
  3. Pick one practice problem and write short answers for Requirements, AI Objective, and Architecture Design.
  4. Work through the AI System Design Interview Questions section and answer each one out loud in under five minutes.
  5. Check your terms against the AI System Design Key Concepts Glossary and fix any gaps.

Prompt for your agent

Using the repo amitshekhariitbhu/ai-system-design, read the section How to Solve Any AI System Design Problem and apply its eight steps to the practice problem <target>. Output a one-page design outline with one heading per step. Verify that the Evaluation and Monitoring steps are both present.

Caveat. The repo is a written guide with no code or runnable setup, so it teaches design thinking rather than producing a working system.
