Position: AI Operations Intern 

Project Description

We are seeking a motivated AI Operations Intern to help identify, design, and implement AI-driven solutions that improve the efficiency of daily office and administrative tasks at our coworking space. This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate interested in AI, automation, operations, and real-world business applications. The intern will work closely with the Director of Operations to analyze current workflows, recommend improvements, and deploy practical AI tools that save time, reduce manual work, and support both staff and members.

Key Responsibilities

Audit & Analyze: Review current administrative workflows (member onboarding, billing inquiries, lead generation, and facility maintenance) to identify opportunities for automation

Tool Implementation: Research and deploy AI-driven solutions (such as custom GPTs, Zapier automation, or AI agents) to streamline repetitive tasks such as scheduling, email responses, reporting, data organization, and member communications. Assist with AI integrations across platforms (Google Workspace, invoicing tools, booking systems, etc.)

Content & Communication: Help automate our community outreach, from drafting member newsletters to setting up AI-assisted responses for common FAQs.
Test and refine AI solutions to ensure accuracy, usability, and efficiency. Create simple guides and documentation for staff on how to use AI tools effectively. Help train team members on implemented AI processes.

What We’re Looking For

AI Enthusiast: You don’t need a CS degree, but you should have a deep curiosity and understanding of LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and automation platforms (Zapier, Make.com, or similar).

Problem Solver: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You look at a manual spreadsheet and think, "There has to be a faster way to do this."

Self-Starter: Organized, detail-oriented, and self-motivated. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and taking ownership of projects from research to execution.

Clear Communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills.  You can explain technical "AI talk" to a non-technical audience in a way that is helpful and approachable.

What You’ll Gain

Real-World Impact: You won’t be getting coffee; you’ll get hands-on experience applying AI to real business operations. Opportunity to design systems that are actually implemented and used.

Networking: Work alongside dozens of startups, founders, and the Cedar Park economic development community.

Flexibility: We value results over "desk time." We offer a flexible schedule that fits your academic life.Internship Details.
