Asked me questions about my background, history, and experience with AI. Wanted to know about how many users saw my work, and if it was possible to see that work too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Go over your history and describe your impact with your projects
They have really quick communication and fast interview process, usually will get back within 2-3 days. You will have opportunity to select days and times of interviews. Pretty open to rescheduling as well.
I applied online. I interviewed at Luma AI (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
It was a take home test that asked to build something from end to end. It takes like 8 to 12 hours. Not only they seek for a MVP, but a scalable API with public hosting! In other words, they want you build something ready for market! It is one day of entirely unpaid work, which I felt is unrespectful with our time. I have got it done, but I do not want to submit it

Question 1
Choose a Problem
Pick the one that excites you most. These are deliberately open-ended — we want to see what directions you take and what decisions you make.
1. Reverse-Engineer an Undocumented API
Pick any website that doesn't have a public API. Reverse-engineer how it works under the hood, then build a useful tool on top of it.
Figure out the API, then build something real with it.
2. Fix Something Annoying
Pick a website you use daily. Identify something that genuinely annoys you about it. Build a browser extension that fixes it.
Find the annoyance, ship the fix.
3. Clone and Improve
Pick one specific feature or interaction from an app you admire. Rebuild it, then make it better — faster, cleaner, more thoughtful, whatever "better" means to you.
Rebuild it, improve it, and explain what you changed and why.
