Motivation & fit

Why do you want this internship / to work with this kind of team? What are you hoping to learn or ship?

AI productivity

Which AI tools do you use regularly (e.g. ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, Copilot)? How often? Name one real limitation you have hit with them.

Be specific — process and limits matter more than brand names.

Describe a recent task where AI helped you finish faster. What did you prompt, what did you verify, and what did you still do yourself?

Prefer a real example over abstract praise of AI.

Read the flawed sample below (the kind of generic AI-written project summary we see often). List the main problems first — vague claims, missing evidence, unverifiable promises — then rewrite or outline a stronger version that a hiring reviewer could trust.

I built a full-stack web application using modern technologies that significantly improved efficiency and user engagement. The system leverages AI to optimize workflows and deliver seamless experiences. Stakeholders were highly satisfied, and the solution scaled effortlessly across use cases. I single-handedly designed, developed, and deployed everything in two weeks with no major issues.

Call out what is vague or unproven, then show how you would make it concrete.

Outline how you would ship a small deliverable in one day with AI (e.g. a simple API + form, or a short internal tool). Steps, tools, and what you would verify before calling it done.

Keep it concrete and scannable; bounded length is fine.

Communication

Explain one technical or AI-related concept to a non-technical person (e.g. an API, a model, or version control). Aim for clarity and plain English.

We care about articulation and structure, not jargon density.
