Your question is GenAI and RAG Experience. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Scenario

You're discussing work where a language model needs to answer questions using a trusted internal knowledge base instead of relying only on pretraining. The conversation is focused on how you have built or would build GenAI systems that combine retrieval, prompting, and evaluation.

Question

What is your experience with GenAI, RAG architecture, and prompt engineering?

What This Tests

  • Designing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline
  • Prompt engineering for grounded answers and refusal behavior
  • Vector search and retrieval quality trade-offs
  • Evaluation of LLM outputs for correctness and faithfulness
