When Should I Actually Use AI During The Interview?

In this lesson we talk about when and how to use AI effectively during an AI-assisted coding interview.

- **Find the right balance with AI:** Learn how to avoid over-delegating core logic to AI or underusing it and running out of time, by aiming for the “middle path” that maximizes leverage while minimizing risk.
- **Accelerate typing, not thinking:** Discover why you should use AI for scaffolding, boilerplate, and clearly defined test cases—but retain ownership over algorithms, data structures, and key design decisions.
- **Optimize for easy verification:** Understand that AI is most helpful when you already know what needs to be built and can quickly verify the output, and least helpful when you’re still figuring out the correct approach.
