The Gridiron of
System Design

Don't practice on the interviewer. Scrimm AI is your toughest scrimmage. It's not a sideline assistant—it's the opposing defense here to sack your design. Drill with an intelligent agent that blitzes your architecture, grills you on trade-offs, and forces you to execute a flawless playbook.

Don't Fumble the Design.
The AI is watching the ball.

Scrimm AI isn't here to be your friend. It's the coordinator that ensures you're ready for the Sunday start. If you skip critical components or fail to justify your trade-offs, you'll get the same feedback you'd get in a real loop:

"Insufficient substance to evaluate a comprehensive design."

How Your Scrimmage Works

01

Study the Playbook

Choose from classic system patterns like "Design Netflix", "Design a Rate Limiter", or "Design Uber".

02

Step into the Pocket

Use the interactive whiteboard to sketch your architecture while explaining your logic via voice.

03

Handle the Blitz

The AI probes weak points, throws curveball constraints, and asks about edge cases in real-time.

04

Final Scoreboard

Receive an instant scorecard grading your design, requirements gathering, and deep dive execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better than ChatGPT?

Yes. While you can chat with standard LLMs, they cannot simulate the actual interview environment. A real system design interview is a multimodal challenge: you must draw architecture diagrams on a whiteboardwhile explaining your thought process. Scrimm.ai provides this exact environment. Our AI "sees" your diagram in real-time and challenges your specific visual design choices—like where you placed that load balancer—creating a realistic simulation that text-based chat simply cannot match.

What topics are covered?

We cover the most common system design interview questions found at FAANG companies, including scalable web applications, distributed data stores, and real-time systems.

Do I need a microphone?

Yes. The core of the platform is the voice-based interaction to simulate a real conversation. We recommend using a headset for the best experience.

Can I save my sessions?

Absolutely. All your interview sessions, including the transcript and the whiteboard state, are saved so you can review your "game tape" later.
