Agentic AI System Design / Practice

Design it under a clock

12 scenarios drawn from real agentic products. Each one runs like an interview: you get the prompt and the starting assumptions, you design, and the constraints that break your first answer arrive one at a time. The strong-answer signals stay hidden until you finish, because reading them first turns practice into recognition.

How to use these

  1. Read the prompt and the assumptions, then start the timer. Do not scroll ahead. The point is to design without knowing which constraint lands next.
  2. Clarify before you draw. Five minutes of requirements and risk beats twenty minutes of boxes. Name the risk tier and what the model may never decide.
  3. Open one reveal at a time. Update the design after each before you look at the next, the way the constraint would actually land in the room.
  4. Finish, then reveal. Score yourself against the required checks first, then read the strong-answer signals and the model outline. The gap between them is your study list.

If a scenario exposes a concept you cannot explain, the concept coverage matrix maps every idea in the course back to the module that teaches it.
