Internship Overview

As a continuation of the initial project focused on developing an AI Assistant for data-support enhancement at CFM, this internship presents an opportunity
to industrialize the proof-of-concept (POC) solution, leveraging AWS infrastructure.

The leading goal is to refine the AI system's application within asset management through benchmarking various large language model (LLM) options,
expanding the scope of data available, and integrating advanced features to enrich the user experience.

The selected candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the assistant evolves into a robust tool that enhances operational
efficiencies.

Key Responsibilities

1. Industrialization of the POC:

• Develop and deploy the existing AI Assistant solution on AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability.
• Implement best practices for cloud architecture to optimize performance and cost-efficiency

2. Benchmarking LLM Models:

• Conduct a comprehensive evaluation and benchmarking of different LLMs to identify the most effective model for the assistant's use
  case.
• Analyze performance metrics, including response accuracy, speed, and resource utilization.

3. Scope Augmentation:

• Collaborate with various teams across the company to expand the database, integrating additional data sources that enhance the AI
  Assistant's capabilities.
• Ensure the assistant can cater to a broader range of use cases pertinent to different teams.

4. Issue Resolution:

• Identify and troubleshoot issues such as AI hallucinations and refine the model to reduce errors.
• Work on enhancing the frontend design of the assistant interface, ensuring a user-friendly experience.

5. Integration as a Feature:

• Facilitate the seamless integration of the AI Assistant into the existing support dashboard to promote usage across teams.
• Collaborate with the UI/UX team to create an intuitive interface that aligns with current systems.

6. Feature Exploration & Development:

• Propose and prototype new features for the AI Assistant based on user feedback and specific business needs.
• Explore the implementation of a human-in-the-loop mechanism to automate specific alerts resolution processes, enhancing the
  assistant's utility.

7. Documentation and Training:

• Document the industrialization process, including architecture, deployment procedures, and feature updates.
• Prepare training materials and sessions for end-users, ensuring successful adoption of new functionalities.
