Design a ChatGPT-like conversational assistant
Design a ChatGPT-like Conversational Assistant
Design a system for a ChatGPT-like conversational assistant product.
The system must support the following core functionalities and requirements:
- Multi-turn Chat: Maintain conversation history to enable multi-turn interactions.
- Streaming Responses: Deliver responses token-by-token to the user.
- Performance: Achieve high availability and low latency, especially during peak traffic loads.
- Basic Safety Controls: Implement mechanisms for prompt injection awareness, toxicity filtering, and PII handling.
- Optional Tool Use: Integrate the ability for the assistant to use external tools, such as an internal search engine or a calculator.
Your design should cover:
- High-level architecture
- Key components
- Data storage strategy
- Scaling strategy
- Methods for evaluating quality and safety in production
AI interview prep
Core dilemma
Balancing the real-time, stateful nature of conversational AI (streaming, history, low latency) with the inherent complexities of distributed systems (scalability, availability, safety, tool orchestration), particularly managing conversation state across potentially stateless services.
