   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. 0:08
   Caller

   Hello, sir. This is [DEMO STUDENT].

   Examiner

   Great, and what's your Net ID?

4. 0:15
   Caller

   Examiner

   That doesn't quite match what I have on file. Your Net ID should be in a format like two letters followed by numbers, for example "kr" followed by digits. Could you double-check that for me?

6. 0:34
   Caller

   Kr2567.

   Examiner

   That's still not matching what I have on file. I have [DEMO NETID] for you. If your Net ID is not [DEMO NETID], I'm going to have to ask you to hang up and email the instructor immediately to sort this out. Does [DEMO NETID] sound right to you?

   Caller

   If you want to try [DEMO NETID], I didn't think this is...

   Examiner

    Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT],

11. 1:19
    Examiner

    Yes, go ahead — give me your thirty-second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

12. 1:27
    Caller

    I'm trying to figure out how, um, candidates make personal DMs automatically for LinkedIn recruiter.

13. 1:39
    Examiner

    Interesting start. And why does that specific problem require AI?

14. 1:45
    Caller

    Um, because the salary, location, and... I don't know.

15. 1:53
    Examiner

    That's okay, take a moment to think about it. Why would a rule-based system not be enough here — what makes AI specifically necessary for this problem?

16. 2:05
    Caller

    Okay, bye.

17. 2:07
    Examiner

    I'm still here!...

18. 2:09
    Caller

    Bye.
