About PPRG Holdings
PPRG Holdings, LLC is building technology and AI systems to support the next generation of real estate operations, agent productivity, lead management, business automation, and customer experience.
About the Role
We are hiring an intern to work directly on projects involving AI agents, agentic operating systems, local large language models, automation workflows, and application development .
The ideal candidate is curious, self-directed, and already experimenting with AI tools, LLMs, coding agents, automation, or app development. You do not need years of professional experience, but you should be able to show that you have built, tested, or explored technical projects on your own.
You will work on fast-moving projects where the goal is to prototype quickly, learn what works, and turn useful ideas into functioning systems.
What You’ll Work On
Designing and building AI agents for internal business workflows
Experimenting with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI SDKs, Anthropic SDKs, or similar tools
Helping develop an internal “agentic OS” concept for managing tasks, workflows, knowledge, and automation
Running and testing local LLMs using tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or similar platforms
Building lightweight internal apps, dashboards, tools, or interfaces
Creating automations for business processes, data handling, lead workflows, reporting, and operations
Working with APIs, databases, and third‑party software integrations
Helping build retrieval‑augmented generation, or RAG, workflows using documents, databases, and vector search
Evaluating new AI tools, models, frameworks, and coding assistants
Benchmarking models and workflows to determine what is actually useful in a business environment
Documenting experiments, results, and recommendations clearly
Turning rough ideas into working prototypes
What We’re Looking For
Required Qualifications
Strong interest in AI agents, LLMs, automation, and software development
Solid Python skills and comfort writing meaningful code
Experience using LLMs, either through APIs, local models, AI apps, chatbots, agents, or personal projects
Ability to learn quickly and work independently
Willingness to experiment, troubleshoot, and figure things out
Portfolio, GitHub, demo, app, project, blog post, Hugging Face profile, chatbot, automation, or other example of something you have built
Nice‑to‑Have Skills
Local LLM tools such as Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM, or similar
AI agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, or OpenAI Agents SDK
Vector databases such as Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Supabase, or similar
RAG pipelines, embeddings, semantic search, or document processing
API integrations
Docker or basic cloud deployment
GitHub, open‑source contributions, freelance projects, hackathons, or previous internships
Building internal tools, dashboards, automations, or workflow apps
Who Should Apply

Bootcamps or self‑taught backgrounds
Undergraduate students, graduate students, bootcamp graduates, and self‑taught builders are all encouraged to apply.
We care more about what you can build, how you think, and how quickly you learn than your GPA or formal credentials.
Ideal Candidate Profile
You may be a great fit if:
You are already experimenting with AI tools in your free time
You have used ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic APIs, or similar tools to build something
You are curious about where AI agents and automation are heading
You like testing new tools and figuring out what is useful versus hype
You can take an idea, research options, build a prototype, and explain what you learned
You are comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment where requirements may evolve as we learn
Why This Internship Is Different
This internship gives you the opportunity to work on practical AI systems inside a real operating business. You will get exposure to real‑world use cases involving sales, marketing, operations, recruiting, lead management, customer experience, and business automation.
You will have the chance to:
Build tools that may actually be used by teams
Work on emerging AI workflows before they become standard practice
Gain hands‑on experience with agents, local LLMs, and business automation
Help shape internal AI infrastructure from an early stage
Create portfolio‑worthy projects with real‑world applications
Work Location & Schedule
