Imagine...

Imagine someone trusted you with a successful business...

...and simply asked,

“Make it smarter.”

No bureaucracy.
No micromanagement.
No waiting years to earn influence.

Just the opportunity to build.

That is what this Fellowship is about.

If reading this makes you excited instead of nervous...

You may already be thinking like an AIF Fellow.

Built by entrepreneurs.

Designed for builders.

Created for people who believe AI should solve real problems — not just create content.

The Invitation from Chris Miller

This Is Not a Traditional Internship

Most internships ask you to fit inside an existing role. This one asks you to help discover what the role should become.

As the Founding AI Innovation Fellow, you will step into a live innovation environment where AI is changing the speed, scope, and shape of work. You will not be handed busywork. You will be asked to notice leverage, build first versions, and turn rough ideas into practical systems.

The right person will treat uncertainty as the point. If you are energized by blank pages, fast learning, and the chance to prove what a new role could be, this program was designed for you.

Your Mission

Map where AI can create real operating leverage, not surface-level novelty.

Prototype workflows, agents, automations, research systems, and decision tools.

Turn experiments into clear playbooks that other people can actually use.

Help define the first version of an AI-native innovation role from the inside.

We’re Looking For Someone Who...

Builds before being asked

You see a messy problem and start testing your way toward a useful first version.

Thinks in systems

You care about repeatable workflows, not just clever one-off outputs.

Learns fast

You can pick up unfamiliar tools, compare options, and explain what matters.

Has taste and judgment

You know that better AI work still needs human clarity, restraint, and standards.

Communicates cleanly

You can make complex ideas feel usable for people who do not live inside the tools.

Wants ownership

You are ready for a role where initiative is not extra credit. It is the job.

We Care Less About / We Care More About

We Care Less About

A perfect resume
Traditional internship experience
Knowing every AI tool already
Polished credentials without proof of initiative
Waiting for a detailed instruction manual

We Care More About

Curiosity with evidence
Projects, experiments, prototypes, or smart failures
Clear thinking under uncertainty
Good taste in what should be automated
The ability to move from idea to useful output

What You’ll Work On

Ops

AI-powered workflows

Find repetitive work, redesign the process, and build systems that save time without lowering quality.

Research

Signal engines

Use AI to gather, compare, summarize, and sharpen intelligence for better decisions.

Agents

Prototype assistants

Create lightweight agentic tools that help people plan, draft, analyze, and execute.

Content

Creative systems

Build repeatable AI-assisted content workflows with strong voice, structure, and quality control.

Product

New service ideas

Explore where AI makes new offers, business models, or customer experiences possible.

Playbooks

Fellowship OS

Document what works so the fellowship becomes a repeatable model, not a one-time experiment.

Why This Exists

We did not create this fellowship because we needed another employee.

We created it because AI is changing business faster than traditional hiring can keep up.

Instead of hiring someone into an old role...

We are inviting one person to help invent a new one.

Shape the first version of a role instead of inheriting one.

Work close to real decisions, real constraints, and real business questions.

Leave with visible proof: systems, playbooks, prototypes, and strategic insight.

Create a potential pathway to ongoing work based on mutual fit and performance.

The AIF Mindset

Curiosity Before Credentials

Build Before You Ask

Progress Over Perfection

AI With Purpose

Think Like An Owner

A Letter From The Founder

My name is Chris.

Twenty years ago, I started building businesses because I loved solving problems.

Today, artificial intelligence has become the greatest business tool I have ever seen.

Not because it replaces people.

Because it allows exceptional people to accomplish extraordinary things.

The AIF Program exists because I believe there are brilliant innovators out there who simply have not been given the opportunity to prove what they are capable of.

Maybe that is you.

Who Should NOT Apply

This probably is not for you if...

You prefer being told exactly what to do.
You dislike learning new technology.
You want a predictable routine.
You avoid uncertainty.
You are only looking for another job.

This may be perfect if...

You naturally build things.
You research AI for fun.
You teach yourself new skills.
You enjoy solving difficult problems.
You want to create something meaningful.

The Video Challenge

Your first application signal is not a cover letter. It is a short demonstration of how you think, build, and see opportunity.

Prompt

What job should AI help invent next, and how would you start proving it in 30 days?

Record a 2 to 4 minute video.
Share one AI-assisted thing you have built, tested, or would prototype.
Name the user, workflow, outcome, and risk.
Production value does not matter. Clarity, specificity, and judgment do.

Final Step

Somewhere right now...

Someone is teaching themselves an AI tool because they are curious.

Someone is experimenting with automation simply because they enjoy building.

Someone is waiting for an opportunity exactly like this.

If that is you...

Some opportunities help you find a career.
