Practice System Design Interviews with Structured Feedback
Design a real-world system step by step. Then get structured feedback that shows what you did well, what you missed, and what to do next.
After you click: pick a problem → design through requirements, APIs, scale, and trade-offs → get a structured review (strengths, gaps, next steps).

How it works
A realistic system design interview loop: design, explain trade-offs, and get interviewer-style feedback.
Pick a real interview problem
Choose from 50+ problems (e.g., WhatsApp, Twitter, Uber) and start immediately.
Design step by step with guidance
Work through requirements, APIs, scale, HLD, NFRs, and trade-offs.
Get a structured review
See strengths, gaps, red flags, and concrete next actions—organized like an interview rubric.
What you get after each session
A concrete output you can use to improve the next attempt—without guessing what “good” looks like.
A rubric-based summary of strengths and gaps by stage
Red flags an interviewer would notice (and how to fix them)
Specific next actions (what to add, remove, or clarify)
A clearer checklist for what to say out loud in interviews

Design Thinking for System Design — Practice the Right Way
Pick a real-world problem
Choose from problems like URL Shortener, Messaging System, or Feed Design. Our AI guides you through each one.
Design step by step with AI guidance
Our AI asks clarifying questions and helps you reason through requirements, scale, data, APIs, and trade-offs in real-time.
Get AI-powered structured feedback
Our AI analyzes your design and provides actionable feedback on: Gaps in reasoning, missing constraints, interviewer red flags, senior-level signals. No generic scores—only actionable insights.
Traditional System Design Prep vs Practice on InterviewCrafted
Most prep is read-only. Here’s how practicing on a canvas with AI feedback is different.
| Compare | Traditional learning | InterviewCrafted |
|---|---|---|
| How you practice | Read articles, watch videos — mostly passive, no hands-on design. | Interactive canvas: draw components, connect services, reason in real time. |
| Feedback | None or delayed; no interviewer-style input on your design. | AI interviewer feedback at each stage — gaps, constraints, senior-level signals. |
| Interview simulation | No structured flow; hard to rehearse the real interview loop. | Stage-by-stage flow: problem → requirements → design → tradeoffs → improve. |
| Where you build | Whiteboard or paper only; no shared, reusable artifact. | Visual architecture canvas with components (DB, cache, API, etc.). |
| Outcome | Concepts only; little repetition of the actual practice loop. | Real practice loop: design → get feedback → improve — like a real interview. |
