Responsibilities
- Demonstrated experience building applications that incorporate Generative AI
- NLP pipeline experience for structured extraction from unstructured text (meeting transcripts, emails, documents)

- We identify high-potential applied AI ideas, recruit exceptional builders, and create new companies from scratch.
- Our purpose is to build AI companies that move humanity forward.
Requirements
- Direct experience with workflow automation systems or productivity tool development

- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) and understanding of best practices for effective use
- Proven track record of architecting, implementing, and deploying scalable AI-powered systems
- Ability to write scrappy, disposable code for fast prototyping, and clean code for scalable products

- AICoS (AI Chief of Staff) AI-powered chief of staff that does the post-meeting work managers hate.
- Managers spend 15-20% of their week on coordination overhead.
- The tools exist (Asana, Notion, Slack) but none of them close the loop automatically.
- Work falls through cracks constantly.
- The unlock is going beyond capture (which transcription tools already do) to automatic sorting, assignment, and nudging.
- it understands your work graph, not just your text.
Compensation
- $10k-$10k
Company info
- AI Fund is Andrew Ng's venture studio.
- We are backed by a $390M fund from top-tier global investors.
- After every meeting, someone has to extract action items, sort them to the right project and person, chase follow-ups, prep for 1:1s, and update task boards.
- LLMs can now reliably extract structured action items from meeting transcripts, understand project context, and generate follow-up communications.
- Think of it as Cursor for task management: it understands your work graph, not just your text.
