How can we fine-tune our models to decrease hallucination and increase response accuracy?
How will our system architecture change as we scale to thousands more users, concurrently?
Problems that you could work on related to enterprise software are:
How do we integrate with our customer’s internal hiring systems?
What’s the best way to present the interview data visually and as fast as possible?
And many, many feature requests that need to be built out!
