Machine Learning Research Intern 

About Us

At Convergence, we're transforming the way AI integrates into our daily lives. Our team is developing the next generation of AI agents that don't just process information but take actions, learn from experience, and collaborate with humans. Proxy is the latest advancement in personalised AI assistants, using Parallel agents and our DeepWork Model to save users thousands of hours of time. Users are able to craft their own automations, share them in our template hub, or use community creations.

With a recent $12 million pre-seed funding from Balderton Capital, Salesforce Ventures, and Shopify Ventures, we're poised to make a significant impact in the AI space. Join us in shaping the future of human-AI collaboration and be part of our mission to transform the AI landscape.
