Product design question

How would you improve Google Docs?

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Ability to identify a genuine gap in a mature collaboration product and connect the fix to competitive positioning and a measurable outcome.

Pick a specific segment, like knowledge workers collaborating with non-Google-native teams who exchange Word files.
Name a concrete pain point: formatting fidelity breaks on complex Word imports and exports, pushing teams back to Word.
Propose a focused fix: significantly improve Word round-trip fidelity for tables, headers, and track changes.
Tie it to Google's business goal: reducing the reason enterprises default back to Microsoft 365.
Define success as fewer .docx export or import support tickets, or more cross-org collaboration sessions.

Chooses a specific, realistic pain point, interop fidelity, distinct from generic feature requests.
Explicitly ties the fix to competitive displacement of Microsoft 365 in mixed-tool organizations.
Defines a measurable proxy for success rather than a vague 'better experience.'

Repeating a feature Docs already supports well, showing unfamiliarity with the current product.
Proposing a broad redesign instead of one focused, defensible improvement.
