Apprenticely is working with our company partner, the Served AI  to add a  Social & Marketing Intern to their team in Bentonville, Arkansas!

Our Apprenticely Internship Program is a three-month program that places selected candidates with employers across Arkansas in IT positions to gain experience under the guidance of a professional mentor/IT support team. Internships are designed as an on-ramp to an IT career and can roll into full-time positions based on employer demand.

About Served AI:
Every night, 150 million households open the fridge and ask the same three words: what's for dinner? Decision fatigue wins, and dinner becomes a DoorDash default.

We're fixing that. Served is an agentic kitchen intelligence platform — point your phone at your pantry, fridge, or counter and our conversational AI, Chef, knows what you have, learns what you actually eat, and handles the loop: decide → shop → cook → restock. Scan your kitchen. Get personalized recipes. Replenish groceries automatically. Stop thinking about it.

Under the hood it's a two-sided machine: free for households, monetized through a CPG trade desk — the retail media network for kitchens. We've closed early capital, we're heads-down taking it from MVP to market, and our team comes from Google, Citadel, and Walmart.

We're building the world's first true agentic kitchen. We want someone to help the world hear about it.

About the Role:
You'll own how Served shows up in the world. Not coffee runs and recycled captions — real, public-facing content that ships, gets measured, and shapes what we do next. You'll work directly with the founders and sit at the center of the brand voice: futuristic but simple, declarative, a little swagger. Think how the best AI companies talk — clean lines, big vision, zero fluff.

How does the interview process work? Apprenticely will conduct an initial phone interview and assessment. Apprenticely will send selected resumes to companies that match the candidate’s skills and interests. Our employer partners will decide who to interview and select the final candidates for the internship program.

Meet the Apprenticely team and join our upcoming virtual webinars via zoom; dates and details are on our events page.
