About the Company
If your first instinct when facing a new problem is: Can AI solve this— then we might be looking for you. At Sage, we are building something ambitious: real AI employees. Not chatbots. Not automation scripts. But AI systems capable of taking ownership of real business responsibilities and independently executing tasks in real-world business environments.
What does AI-first mean
It does NOT mean: Figure out the process first, then ask AI for help. It means: Assume AI can do everything first — then identify the parts humans still need to handle. You love using AI. You actively explore new AI tools. You continuously study the evolving capability boundaries of AI systems.
About the Role
An AI Application Intern is not a traditional product manager, engineer, or system operator. Your role is to bring AI into real business workflows and make it actually work. This requires you to:
Responsibilities
- rapidly understand unfamiliar business domains
- identify operational bottlenecks
- evaluate where AI can create real value
- implement solutions that business teams genuinely want to adopt
What You'll Do
- Work closely with departments such as Legal, Finance, Operations, and Business teams to understand workflows, user needs, and operational pain points
- Conduct market and business research: analyze market demand, competitors, user behavior, and regulatory risks to identify the most valuable AI opportunities
- Evaluate where AI can realistically be applied, define achievable outcomes, and design practical AI solutions for business teams
- Track implementation results, gather feedback, and continuously iterate on solutions
- Stay up to date with frontier AI tools and methodologies, and introduce new capabilities into business scenarios
Qualifications
Must-Have
- Genuine and frequent use of AI tools, with hands-on experience building usable AI workflows or automations
- Strong market research capability: able to conduct user interviews, competitor analysis, and produce independent insights — not just summarize information
- Ability to quickly adapt to unfamiliar business domains without thinking: This has nothing to do with my background.
Nice to Have
- Internship or work experience in non-technical functions such as Legal, Finance, Operations, or Marketing
- Clear understanding of current AI capability boundaries: knowing what AI can and cannot realistically do
- Basic coding literacy: able to understand logic flows and perform simple debugging (preferred but not required)
