What You'll Be Doing

Context: You've joined a team building a platform used by medical and dental practices. The company wants to ship its first agentic AI feature: an assistant that helps clinic staff handle their daily workload more efficiently.

Today, staff manually:

  • Read through incoming messages and requests (patients asking for appointments, refills, billing questions)
  • Check practice management / EHR systems for patient info, schedule, and eligibility
  • Decide what to do next: reply, schedule, escalate to a doctor, or ask for more info

Leadership wants an AI-powered workflow where:

  • Messages are triaged and summarized using AI
  • The system proposes recommended actions (e.g., "offer these 3 time slots," "route to billing," "flag for doctor review")
  • Staff can review, edit, and approve actions in a React-based UI, and then the platform executes them via backend services and APIs

Record a video walking us through how you would approach designing and building this system. You may also include optional notes or diagrams to support your presentation.

Challenge Guidelines

Assessment Format:

  • Video Response: One continuous recording, maximum 10 minutes
  • Written Artifacts: Notes or diagrams used to prepare your video submission
  • Assignment: One challenge per candidate
  • AI Usage Declaration: Required

Video Requirements (≤ 10 minutes total):

Please record one continuous video responding to the prompts below.

Part 1: Personal Context (≈ 2 minutes)

Talent Reach wants to understand your broader career goals. If this role isn't the perfect fit, we'd love to help point you toward other opportunities.

Part 2: Challenge Scenario (≈8 minutes)

Walk us through:

A. System & Data Flow (backend + frontend)

  • How would you structure the flow from "new message arrives" → "AI proposes actions" → "user approves and executes"?
  • Key backend components (Django services, APIs, data stores) and key React pieces (views, state management)
  • How would you keep this first version simple but scalable?

B. Safety, Reliability, and Human-in-the-Loop

  • How would you ensure the AI assistant doesn't do anything unsafe or surprising?
  • Where do humans approve or override AI suggestions?
  • What logging or audit trail would you put in place?

C. Using AI-Assisted Development Tools

  • How would you use tools like Cursor, Windsurf, or similar to speed up building this feature without treating them as a black box?
  • Give one concrete example and explain when you trust AI output vs. when you dig deeper yourself.
