GenAI system design interviews can feel overwhelming, but they don't have to be. This practical guide breaks down complex generative AI concepts into manageable, interview-ready knowledge that will help you stand out from other candidates.
Unlike generic AI interview prep materials, this book focuses specifically on generative systems—the ones that actually matter in today's tech landscape. You'll get an insider's perspective on what interviewers are really looking for and why certain approaches work better than others. The 7-step framework provides a systematic way to approach any GenAI system design question, giving you confidence when it matters most.
Each concept comes to life through detailed examples like Gmail Smart Compose, Google Translate, ChatGPT personal assistants, and various image generation systems. With 280+ diagrams, you'll visualize how these systems work internally, making abstract concepts tangible and easy to explain during interviews. The book covers everything from text-to-image generation to retrieval-augmented generation, ensuring you're prepared for whatever question comes your way.
The structured approach helps you build knowledge systematically rather than trying to memorize isolated facts. You'll learn not just what to say, but how to think about GenAI systems architecturally. Whether you're preparing for your first AI interview or looking to level up your existing skills, this guide provides the practical foundation you need to succeed.
