  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

    So my name is [DEMO STUDENT], and my net ID is [DEMO NETID].

  3. Examiner

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

  4. Caller

    I have no idea. Can you tell me?

  5. Examiner

    Nope. If I tell you, it is not your defense, it is my fan fiction. What is the specific user problem you are solving?

  6. Caller

    Can you give me a hint?

  7. Examiner

    I can, but only a tiny one: Team B is LinkedIn Recruiter Copilot, an auto message agent that handles the first three turns, then hands off to a human. What is the specific user problem you are solving?
