System design — an agentic product
"Design a sales-research agent that pulls company info from the web." The agentic system-design template that handles tool design, bounded loops, and the inevitable injection question.
The brief
"Sales reps want to research companies before meetings. Design an agent that takes a company name and returns recent news, funding history, key people, and competitive context. Inputs: company name. Outputs: structured brief. 30 minutes."
This exercise is testing tool-design discipline and threat-modeling.
