Our AI nutritionist talks to real users every day - helping them log meals, coaching them through weekly check-ins, and adapting their meal plans when life gets in the way. We need someone to make sure it sounds like a great coach, not a chatbot.

About Nutrish.ai

Nutrish.ai is an AI-powered nutrition coach that creates personalized, science-backed meal plans - without calorie counting. We are building a B2B2C platform for gyms and health apps, helping them offer scalable nutrition coaching to their members.

We are launching our app soon and already working with gyms, partners, and early users.

The role

You will own the quality of how our AI communicates. That means reading hundreds of AI responses, developing an instinct for what feels helpful versus robotic, and writing the instructions that shape the AI's personality, tone, and decision-making.

You define what the AI should say. The CTO wires it into the product.

No coding required - but you should be comfortable using AI tools like ChatGPT in your daily life.

What you will do

Shape the AI's voice and behavior

• Write and refine the instructions that define how our AI nutritionist talks to users

• Define its personality: when it should be encouraging, when it should ask follow-up questions, when it should gently push back

• Handle sensitive areas - body image, off-plan eating, disordered eating red flags - with the right tone

Evaluate and improve output quality

• Read real AI conversations and rate them: Did it sound like a coach or a Wikipedia article? Was the advice actually useful? Did it miss something obvious?

• Identify patterns - where does the AI consistently get it wrong, sound awkward, or miss the point?

• Document what "good" looks like so we can measure improvement over time

Think through edge cases

• What happens when a user sends a blurry food photo and asks to log it? When someone says "I ate terribly today"? When the check-in data shows a plateau?

• Map out the tricky scenarios and define how the AI should handle each one

Support product decisions

• Work directly with the founders on how the AI experience should evolve

• Help translate nutrition knowledge and user empathy into AI behavior

• Contribute to building the kind of AI experience that makes users trust and come back

What we are looking for

• Strong writer — you can tell when a sentence feels off and you know how to fix it

• Critical reader — you can read 20 AI responses and articulate why #7 felt like a real coach while #12 felt like a textbook

• Empathetic thinker — you naturally consider how words land for someone who just admitted they went off-plan

• Structured and patient — improving AI output is iterative; you test, document, adjust, repeat

• Interested in health, nutrition, or coaching — you don't need a degree, but you should care about this space

• Comfortable with AI tools — you use ChatGPT or similar tools regularly and have opinions about what makes AI output good or bad

Bonus

• Background in writing, communications, journalism, UX writing, or content design

• Experience with nutrition, personal training, health coaching, or psychology

• You have ever thought "this AI response is technically correct but completely useless" and wished you could fix it

What you will get

• A front-row seat to launching a real AI product with paying customers

• Direct mentorship from a CTO with 13+ years in engineering and product

• Hands-on experience shaping AI behavior - a skill set that barely exists yet and is becoming one of the most valuable in tech

• Flexible, remote work

Where this leads

AI experience design is one of the newest disciplines in tech. Nobody has ten years of experience in it. Every company shipping an AI product — from startups to Google — is figuring out how to make AI output feel right, and they need people who can do exactly what this role teaches you.

This internship gives you real, portfolio-ready work: before-and-after examples of AI behavior you improved, edge cases you identified and solved, and a coaching voice you helped define for a shipping product. That is the kind of evidence that stands out when applying for roles like:

• AI product manager — you will already understand how to translate user needs into AI behavior

• Conversational designer / AI UX writer — you will have built the voice of an AI product from scratch

• Prompt engineer — you will have the hands-on iteration experience most candidates only read about

• UX researcher — you will know how to evaluate AI quality systematically, not just anecdotally

You will leave with a skill set that is in high demand and almost impossible to get from a classroom.

Important to know

We are currently bootstrapped. This is an unpaid internship initially. High performers will be top of mind for future paid roles as we grow.
