✅ Why Banks Build Internal ML Models (Instead of Relying Only on Fintech Models) . ⭐ 1. Regulatory & Compliance (Most Important) Banks—especially in India—operate under strict RBI regulations : 🔹 RBI requires: Model Risk Management (MRM) Validation and periodic re-calibration of ML models Auditability & Explainability Data residency (must stay inside bank’s environment) No black-box decisioning that bank cannot justify ➡️ Fintech-provided models are black-box  → bank cannot

❗ Loan agreement does NOT have to go into the permanent “Knowledge Hub” to be explained by GenAI. It can be processed via a temporary, isolated vector index (ephemeral RAG) . 1️⃣ What is Your “Knowledge Hub” in Banking GenAI? You defined it correctly: Knowledge Hub (Permanent Vector Store)  contains: RBI circulars Bank lending policies Credit risk rules AML/Sanctions SOPs Legal templates and compliance rules Product brochures and pricing rules LLMOps Pipeline for Knowledge H

AI-First Automation in Digital Lending”   “In our digital lending platform, we adopted an AI-first automation approach , where AI is not an add-on but embedded into every decision-making and customer interaction step.We used traditional ML for deterministic risk decisions , and GenAI for cognitive automation, explanation, and user interaction .The outcome was: 70-80% straight-through processing 40-60% reduction in manual underwriting Loan TAT reduced from few weeks to a day,

What LangSmith actually does How it integrates with LangChain & LangGraph Exact configuration (env + code) What gets traced automatically How this works in AKS / production How this maps to Spring / Java world 1️⃣ What LangSmith Actually Is (Architect View) LangSmith is a managed telemetry + evaluation backend  for: Prompt execution Tool calls Agent steps RAG retrieval LLM latency, cost, errors Automatic trace trees (like OpenTelemetry for LLMs) Think of it as: “Application P

End-to-end GenAI (AI-native) development & deployment — two flavors: Azure / Spring AI (Java)  and Python (LangChain) Below is a compact, interview-ready walkthrough you can speak from  — step-by-step from requirements → design → build → test → deploy → monitor → optimize . For each phase I list concrete tools/frameworks , why they’re used, and what outputs you produce. At the end I give a short 30-second summary  you can use in interviews. 1. High-level lifecycle (common to

1️⃣ Core Principle (Very Important for Interview) For Java-based Spring AI systems : Spring AI → serves production traffic PromptFlow / DeepEval / RAGAS → run as external evaluation workers CI/CD orchestrates them as quality gates No Python code runs inside the Java microservice Think of these tools as: “Post-deployment quality scanners for GenAI, not runtime dependencies.” 2️⃣ Where These Tools Sit in the Architecture Git Push | v CI Pipeline | +--> Build & Test Java (JUnit,

1. The Core Principle of Systematic Diagnosis Never jump to solutions. Always stabilize → observe → hypothesize → test → confirm. Most failures happen because people: Fix symptoms, not root causes Trust logs blindly Skip validation Apply “tribal fixes” Systematic diagnosis avoids that. 2. The 7-Step Systematic Diagnosis Framework (Universal) Step 1 — Stabilize First (Stop the Bleeding) Goal: Prevent business damage before deep analysis. Ask: Is customer impact ongoing? Is dat

1) Debugging production agent blockers — a systematic checklist When you see symptoms like “agent looping”  or “context drift” , follow this rapid diagnostic flow: A. Reproduce & Observe Capture the full conversation transcript + timestamps + request/response IDs. Reproduce with same inputs in a controlled environment (staging) and record all agent steps. B. Check orchestration / control flow Verify orchestrator state machine: are termination conditions implemented? (max_step

Model Drift,Context Drift ==== ✅ 1. What is Context Drift ? Context Drift  happens when a Large Language Model (LLM) or AI agent loses track of the conversation state, task state, or prior facts  during a multi-step interaction. Where it occurs Multi-step agents Complex workflows (KYC → Risk → Underwriting) Long conversations RAG-based interactions Multi-agent orchestration Symptoms The agent forgets earlier instructions or contradicts previous steps. The agent starts answeri

A production-grade AI system requires five layers of testing : Layer 1 — Functional Testing (AI + Non-AI) Tests if the system produces correct business outcomes . 🔶 1. RAG Retrieval Tests Verify correct chunks retrieved from vector DB Validate recall@k, precision@k Ensure metadata filtering works Validate semantic relevance score threshold 🔶 2. LLM Output Tests Policy adherence (RBI lending rules) Consistency of decisions Structured JSON response validation No hallucinated

AI engineering best practices: prompt versioning, evaluation, retrieval tuning, logging, testing.” This is exactly how a GenAI Lead / Advisory Architect  should answer. ✅ 1. Prompt Versioning What it means: Treat prompts like source code  — version-controlled, reviewed, tested, and released. Why enterprises need it Different business units use slightly different prompts Prompts evolve with product features One small change can break a workflow Compliance requires audit histor

Interpolated inputs in prompts refer to dynamic variables that are “injected” into a prompt at runtime instead of being hard-coded.They allow you to build prompt templates where parameters change based on context, user input, or system data. ✅ What Are Interpolated Inputs? It's like having placeholders inside your prompt that get filled when the model is executed. Example (simple) Template prompt: You are analyzing a  loan application. Applicant name: {{name}}, Credit sco

1. Agentic AI (What it means) Agentic AI refers to AI systems that can take autonomous actions , not just generate text.These systems perceive, reason, plan, act, and learn  — like a digital worker that executes end-to-end tasks with minimal human intervention. Key capabilities: Autonomy:  Takes decisions without being prompted every time Planning:  Breaks goals into sub-tasks Tool use:  Calls APIs, databases, models Reasoning loops:  Self-critique, refine output Learning:  I
