Agentic AI & Automation

• Prototype autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents for internal and customer-facing use cases
• Help design multi-step agent workflows using tools, memory, and orchestration logic
• Explore agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI tools, etc.)
• Build proof-of-concept agents for:
• Customer support assistants
• Pet safety and lost-pet response tools
• Research and data-gathering agents
• Workflow automation assistants
• Mobile product AI features
• Sales growth and automation tools

Generative AI / LLM Work

• Excited about startups and shipping ideas quickly

Bonus If You Have Experience With

• AI agents or multi-agent systems
• RAG workflows
• Function/tool calling
• Prompt pipelines
• Mobile AI integrations
• Hackathon or side-project experience
• Experience building with APIs or automations

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience building real AI tools in a startup environment
• Exposure to cutting-edge agentic AI systems
• Opportunity to help shape production concepts
• Experience in product, AI, and startup building

***IMPORTANT. Internship is basically unpaid so you must receive some form of academic credit and you must be based in the US to be considered. If you either of these don't apply to you then please do not apply. Thank you.

Pay: $50.00 per year
