Walk through Maya’s search

Maya is a first-generation high-school senior. No one in her family has interned and she doesn't know where to look — she just wants a real internship, near home or remote, to get experience and build skills.

1 · All Maya has to say

No résumé, no insider knowledge, no list of companies — just a rough idea of what she likes and where she can work. Here’s what each answer does.

Remote (US)San Francisco Bay Area

The only hard rule. Any role outside these places is removed completely — not just ranked lower.

Fields / interestsDiscipline gate
Software / TechData Science

Sets the kind of work. This is why a finance student never sees a software-engineering role — even at the same company. It’s the biggest reason results stay on-topic.

SkillsFit scoring
PythonJavaScriptHTML/CSS

Used to score fit. A role that mentions these ranks higher.

Internship termPreference
Any

A preference. It nudges the ranking but never removes a role.

Remote preferencePreference
Any

A preference for how they’d work. Also just a nudge.

Résumé / summaryPersonalization

Optional. Helps explain why a role fits and personalizes the outreach email.

2 · InternFlow does the part she can’t

The hard part of an internship search is knowing where to look. InternFlow does that for her in six steps.

  1. 1
    Gather real jobs

    We pull open roles straight from public company job boards — the same listings companies post for everyone.

  2. 2
    Fill in the blanks

    For companies missing details, we do web research — and even surface promising startups that aren’t on any job board yet. Every fact gets a source link.

  3. 3
    Score who’s hiring

    Each company gets a 0–100 “likely hiring interns” score from public signals like recent postings, funding, and size.

  4. 4
    Keep only what fits

    We drop roles outside the chosen locations, and roles in a different field of work than the student picked.

  5. 5
    Rank by fit

    What’s left is ordered by how well it matches the student — and every result shows the reasons in plain words.

  6. 6
    You stay in control

    InternFlow writes a first-draft intro email; the student edits and sends it themselves. The AI never contacts anyone.

?Why this matters for someone just starting out

A student with connections hears about openings from family, professors, or friends. Maya has none of that. InternFlow levels the field: it searches public sources she’d never think to check, surfaces small companies that aren’t on the big job boards, and explains every result in plain language — so not knowing where to look stops being the thing that holds her back.
