AI Coding Interview Questions

AI-assisted interviews are a fast-growing format where you're allowed — and expected — to use an AI assistant like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code during the round, then defend every line it writes. This hub gathers every real, recently reported AI-assisted interview question on PracHub in one place: codebase coding problems, AI-era system design, and machine learning rounds, reported by candidates who interviewed at companies like Meta, Shopify, and Rippling. They look nothing like a traditional LeetCode problem — you're usually dropped into a multi-file repo and asked to fix a bug, ship a feature, and optimize for scale, producing far more code than you'd write by hand. Practicing them builds the skill these rounds actually test: directing the AI, catching what it gets wrong, and defending every decision — not prompting your way to an answer you can't explain. New to the format? Start with our complete AI coding interview guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are AI tools allowed in coding interviews?
In an AI-enabled (AI-assisted) interview, yes — you're explicitly allowed to use an assistant like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code. The catch is that interviewers evaluate how well you direct and verify the AI, so accepting its output blindly is what gets candidates rejected, not using the tool.
What companies do AI-assisted interviews?
Meta rolled out AI-enabled coding interviews in late 2025, and candidates have reported similar AI-assisted formats at Shopify, Rippling, LinkedIn, Canva, and others. The list keeps growing as more teams adopt the format.
How do I prepare for an AI-assisted interview?
Practice reading unfamiliar codebases quickly, solve the problem yourself before reaching for the AI, and verify everything it generates line by line. Drill the real AI-assisted questions in this hub and read PracHub's AI coding interview guide for the full rubric.
How is an AI-assisted interview different from a normal coding interview?
Instead of one self-contained algorithm problem on a blank editor, you're dropped into a multi-file codebase and asked to fix bugs, add features, and optimize at scale with an AI assistant. The bar shifts from writing every line yourself to judging, correcting, and explaining code you produced with the AI.
How many AI-assisted interview questions are on PracHub?
PracHub has 50+ real AI-assisted interview questions spanning coding, system design, and machine learning rounds, and the set grows as new ones are reported. Most are free to read with detailed solutions.
