The tools record what happened, but they rarely close the loop across projects and people. This role is to build an AI chief of staff that turns meeting context into structured work, routes it correctly, and keeps commitments moving without creating another system for managers to maintain.\nWhat You'll Build\nA meeting intake and extraction pipeline that identifies decisions, action items, owners, deadlines, and unresolved questions.\nA routing engine that maps work to the right project, person, and operating context.\nA review and follow-up system that drafts nudges, prepares one-on-ones, and keeps action items current.\nA lightweight work graph and integration layer across tools such as Slack, Asana, Notion, Google Workspace, and calendars.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the product across meeting ingestion, structured extraction, routing, manager review, integrations, and deployment.\nDesign the context model that connects people, projects, decisions, and commitments without requiring heavy setup.\nBuild evals and guardrails for extraction quality, incorrect routing, duplicate tasks, and unhelpful follow-ups.\nTest the single-player manager workflow quickly and learn which parts create enough daily value before team adoption.\nWork with AI Fund's build team on product scope, technical risk, and the path from manager utility to a broader operating system.\nWhat You Need\nStrong full-stack or backend engineering ability across workflow products, APIs, data models, and production integrations.\nDemonstrated experience building GenAI systems for structured extraction, agentic workflows, tool use, evals, and guardrails.\nExperience integrating workplace tools, task systems, calendars, messaging products, or document platforms.\nProduct judgment for human-in-the-loop automation where managers can review important decisions without becoming the system's full-time operator.\nYou know how to use AI coding assistants and modern AI tools to accelerate implementation without surrendering engineering judgment.\nUS work authorization. We are unable to sponsor visas for this role.\nHelpful But Not Required\nExperience with meeting transcription, audio pipelines, or calendar intelligence.\nExperience building productivity, project-management, or collaboration software.\nFounder or founding engineer experience shipping a workflow product from zero to one.\nWho This Is For\nA builder who is impatient with coordination work that software should already handle.\nSomeone who can make an AI workflow feel dependable enough to become part of a manager's daily operating rhythm.\nWhat To Know Upfront\nThis is a 12-week, full-time, on-site residency in Mountain View, California.\nNot every residency becomes a company. The goal is to pressure-test the idea quickly and honestly with real users and customers.\nYou will be building an AI Fund idea, not bringing your own startup idea into the program.\nThe process typically includes a Builder Event or equivalent working conversation, then a 48-hour Builder Challenge, then panel review with AI Fund build leadership.\nThe compensation is intentionally modest during the residency because the upside, if the idea works, is a founder-level role.\nCompensation\n$10,000/month for 12 weeks ($30,000 total). This is a contract role during the residency. If the build leads to a funded company, the next step is a founder-level role with meaningful equity upside.\nWe may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
