Having an intern is supposed to be about talent development. It's a way to simultaneously recruit, train, vet and build loyalty with future employees.

Using interns just as a source of cheap labour is exploiting interns!

Calling this "AI interns" is like saying "this is sub-par and neglects important aspects of your business".

Not to be confused with Kairos, a kubernetes linux distribution. https://kairos.io/

I can't remember last time I filled in a form and thought "man, I wish I didn't have to do this". And I live in Japan!

Most forms take 2-5 min and have the useful side effect of updating my mental state with important information about whatever I'm filling in a form for. If you want to replace that, the lowest barrier before it becomes useful is that someone else takes complete ownership of the task related to the form.

There's a reason they call them 'interns' - because the results are going to be subpar.

In case it's not known, "kairos" is ancient Greek for "the exact or critical time", cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kairos

I get the appeal, but it seems too early for one AI tool to be able to do "everything". I'm guessing there's some company out there trying to automate each of these tasks and dealing with the attendant complexity that comes with it - it's not clear to me that a single "do everything" AI would be able to do this pre-AGI

The LLM shovelware self promotion spam submissions will continue until morale improves.

Safer than clawdbot/moltbot, I'll bet.

I am a birder who checks eBird for sightings of rare birds in my area. Let's see if Kairos can do some googling and summarization for me by text message. All it needs to do is find its way to this page:

https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN36086

This is the first google result for "rare birds pg county" and many similar queries.

I prompted Kairos by text message: "What rare birds have been reported on eBird in Maryland's Prince George's County today?"

On the page above, I can see that a Vesper Sparrow was sighted (and confirmed) and a Common Yellowthroat was reported (but remains unconfirmed). I expect the Vesper Sparrow to be reported, as you ca

I'll anthropomorphize for brevity's sake.

Kairos fired up a chrome session. I can watch as it generates notes like:

- "Accessed eBird.org to search for Prince George's County, Maryland sightings", - "Need to navigate to county-specific recent observations for today's date", - "Will identify rare, unusual, or out-of-season species reported today"

This plan doesn't seem super promising, as there will be hundreds or thousands of bird reports in the county, and the rarities may or may not be on the most recent list. It seems to run into difficulty and generates a new prompt:

"Go to eBird.org and access the recent sightings for Prince George's County, Maryland for January 28, 2026.\n\nTry this approach:\n1. Navigate to https://ebird.org/explore\n2. Use the search or navigation to find \"Prince George's County, Maryland\" or \"Prince George's, US-MD-033\"\n3. Look for a \"Recent Visits\" or \"Recent Observations\" section\n4. Make sure the date filter is set to today (January 28, 2026)\n5. Extract ALL species reported today with their locations\n\nReturn the complete list of species observed today in Prince George's County with:\n- Species name\n- Location/hotspot name\n- Number of individuals (if available)\n- Observer name (if available)\n\nI need the full list to identify which ones are rare or unusual.""

Despite the training data almost certainly including discussions of the eBird rare bird alert feature, which is very popular, it seems to be reinventing the wheel.

Eight minutes in and it is now searching for today's lists from one specific birding hotspots in the county.

It's final text back to me had no rare birds reported today. It correctly reports that a LeConte's Sparrow was seen in Maryland, but it doesn't specify where. Ten seconds of googling shows it was reported on the other side of the state. More than a week ago.

It doesn't mention the Vesper Sparrow or Common Yellowthroat.

Is scrolling broken or somehow messed with on that page?

The scroll-jacking on their landing page got an immediate bounce from me. Why do web designers do this annoying shit that breaks the web? Built by an intern, I suppose...

Just another AI product landing page.

Does stuff for you.

$37 per month.

Why would I want an intern? I want 100x Super-Employee. Scratch that... 1x10^6 x

Scratch that... 1x10^1000000000000.........

Not much of a time saver:

> "Is it safe to let an AI into my apps? You approve every connection. You can watch it work in real-time. Nothing sensitive happens without your say. Your data stays yours - we don't train on it."

I worked with (human!) interns and most of them did not require being watched in real-time.

I do not wanna share my phone number to demo a product :(
