  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    Hey, I am [DEMO STUDENT] and [DEMO NETID] is a NetID.

  3. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. Net I D matches [DEMO NETID]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  4. Caller

    Hamburgers do not present themselves as they should. They have too much cheese.

  5. Examiner

  6. Caller

    What is the specific product you are building?

  8. Caller

  10. Caller

    New coin that's distributed by AI.

  11. Examiner

    That is not this course, and it is definitely not McDonald’s customer quality control. Also, if you pitch an A I coin to McDonald’s, the only thing getting tokenized is your internship. Are you defending Team E, the McDonald’s drive thru voice order taker, or a different project?

  12. Caller

    Oh no, I want to sell a coin to McDonald's that we could snipe.

  13. Examiner

    I cannot help you plan anything that sounds like scamming or “sniping.” Let’s keep this to the course project and a legitimate product. Are you ready to proceed with Team B, the LinkedIn Recruiter Copilot project you were assigned?...
