🌟 Kairos
Kairos is your AI-powered platform that supercharges internship outreach.
We automate connecting with Alumni, booking more calls, and saving you hundreds of hours — so you can focus on landing your dream internship faster.
🚀 Inspiration
We have faced — and BEAT — the brutal CS Internship Market.
After:
- Countless hours writing emails ✉️
- Extensive research 📚
- Numerous meetings 🤝
We finally received 10+ internship offers as 1st-year students.
BUT — it took WAYYY TOO LONG.
We want to help save ambitious people like us time and energy!
🔥 What It Does
Automates email outreach to Alumni to book more calls and spend less time landing internships!
Key features:
- Keyword Alumni Search

🛠️ How We Built It
Our process ensures an amazing outreach experience:
- Data Sources: We pull alumni data from LinkedIn, YC X25, and enrich it with Hunter.io.
- Architecture: Built using a microservices approach:
- Node.js hosts our JavaScript jobs.
- FastAPI powers our Python jobs.
- Backend: An Express.js server handles:
- Automatic emails
- Smart agent replies
- Generative AI email templates
- Calendar integrations
Everything flows smoothly into a unified, powerful backend!
⚡ Challenges We Ran Into
We originally planned to source all of our data from one API.
However, trial and error taught us that:
- Multiple sources were crucial for proper data enrichment.
- Missing emails and incomplete information needed to be filled in creatively.
🏆 Accomplishments We're Proud Of
- Built a real project that we would actually use.
- Created a platform with a mission we believe in:
Connecting to Alumni is fulfilling and can be a huge career booster!
