Show us how you explain AI
and how you use it.

This process is designed to understand how you think, how you communicate, and how you apply AI in practice. We are interested in your curiosity about different tools and ways of working, along with your understanding of the process in the use of AI.

01

The Process

The process has four stages. Across these interviews, we want to understand your ability to learn, understand, and communicate how AI is used, along with how you apply that in practice.

Stage 1

First Interview

30 minutes

A short conversation about your background, your AI experience, and how you are using these tools today.

Stage 2

Live AI Walkthrough

1 hour

A walkthrough of an AI tool you know well, followed by discussion of your technical skills and current AI knowledge.

Stage 3

Show Something You Built

1 hour

A walkthrough of a tool, workflow, assistant, or system you have built using AI, with time for questions.

Stage 4

Founder Interview

In person

A final conversation with a founder in our office.

02

The Interview Journey

Stage 1

First Interview

30 minutes

This is an introductory conversation about your background, your AI experience, and the way you are currently using AI tools in your work.

Stage 2

Be Ready to Talk About an AI Tool

1 hour

In the second interview, we will ask you to walk us through an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. We want you to show us how you use it and how you would explain it to someone else.

  • 1
    Explain what it does Give a simple overview of the tool and what it is useful for.
  • 2
    Show the core features Walk through the parts you think matter most in real usage.
  • 3
    Talk through prompting Explain what makes a weak prompt versus a strong prompt and how you improve results.
  • 4
    Show how you review outputs Talk through how you sense-check, refine, and use the responses you get back.
Example Walkthrough Setup
Imagine you are speaking to a group who already have access to ChatGPT, but do not really understand how to use it yet. Walk us through the tool, how you use it, and how you help someone get better results from it.

After the walkthrough, we will have a discussion about AI more broadly, including your current knowledge of the space, the tools you are aware of, and how you think about the subject today.

Stage 3

Bring Something You Have Made

1 hour

For the third interview, come prepared to show us something you have created using AI, or something you have made for an AI tool such as a custom GPT, skill, workflow, or assistant. Ideally, it should improve human productivity or effectiveness, and show how you think about making work better through the use of AI.

  • 1
    Choose a real example This could be a workflow, assistant, automation, lightweight tool, or system that helps you or others work more effectively.
  • 2
    Explain the problem Tell us what you were trying to improve, remove, or speed up.
  • 3
    Talk through the approach Show what tools you used, what decisions you made, and what tradeoffs mattered.
  • 4
    Reflect on what happened Tell us what worked, what did not, and what you would improve next.
  • 5
    Try a new tool Talk us through learning a new tool to help achieve this, and what that experimentation taught you.
Stage 4

Founder Interview

In person

The final stage is an in-person conversation with a founder in our office. This is a chance for us to understand you more broadly and for you to ask questions about the role, the team, and how we work.

03

Good to Know

Expected prep time is a few hours. Across the interviews, we want to see your capability to communicate clearly and show your skills and experience in AI.

  • Show your understanding of the tool For the second interview walkthrough, the focus is on demonstrating your understanding of the tool you choose to show.
  • Walk us through it live We would like to see a live walkthrough of the tool, understand where things could be improved or where issues were faced, and hear about the parts that are working well.
  • Talk us through your choices We will be interested in why you approached the work the way you did, not only in the final output.
