These are Prompt Engineering questions of the kind Google actually asks — the patterns reported from Google's AI-engineering rounds, where design trade-offs, scale and failure modes matter as much as definitions. Treat this page as a mock interview: say every answer out loud before revealing it. If one surprises you, the lesson behind it is linked at the bottom.

Design a prompt that generates three distinct product-name suggestions for a startup, and explain how you would evaluate something this subjective.

How to use this page: Google rarely asks something you've never seen — they ask a standard Prompt Engineering concept and then push one level deeper ("why?", "what would you do if..."). Master the concept in the Prompt Engineering course lessons, and the follow-up stops being scary.
