Frequently asked
About the AI Interview Guide.
- Is the AI Interview Guide free?
- Yes — all 66 lessons are free to read, no account required. Your progress is saved in your browser as you mark lessons complete.
- Who is this guide for?
- Engineers preparing for AI/ML engineering, applied AI, and LLM-focused interviews — from developers moving into AI roles to experienced ML engineers brushing up on agents, RAG, and system design.
- Do I need a machine learning background?
- No. The guide starts from transformer intuition with zero math prerequisites and builds up to production system design. Module 1 assumes only general software engineering experience.
- How long does it take to complete?
- Around 10-12 hours of reading across 8 modules. Most people work through one module per week alongside job applications; the system design cases in module 7 are worth revisiting before onsites.
- Does it cover AI system design interviews?
- Yes — module 7 is dedicated to system design: an interview framework, a design-patterns catalog, five worked case studies (enterprise RAG, code assistant, customer support, document intelligence, search), practice problems, and conceptual questions.
