Key takeaways
- Practice asking an AI tool clear, specific questions and then checking its output against the numbers you have.

By the end you will be able to
- Know what McKinsey, BCG and Bain have said about AI in interviews
- Frame a clear request and check AI output under time pressure
- Catch common AI errors and turn the output into your own recommendation
