What is The Intern?.
The Intern is an autonomous AI operative platform. It is not a chatbot. It is not a copilot. It is a team of AI agents that handle real business operations — sales, support, research, legal, strategy — with persistent memory and real-world tool access.
The difference from a chatbot
A chatbot responds to questions. An Intern agent acts on goals. It can send emails, make phone calls, update your CRM, research competitors, draft contracts, and close deals — autonomously, while you sleep. Every action is logged and reversible.
Role-based intelligence
Each agent is hired for a specific role. A Sales Closer has a different system prompt, skill set, and decision-making framework than a Support Hero or a Research Analyst. The role shapes everything — personality, priorities, escalation rules, and tool access.
Persistent memory across sessions
The Intern uses a Brain-Graph (Memgraph) knowledge graph architecture alongside the workspace layer. Workspace files (markdown documents) provide baseline context, while Memgraph stores complex relationships, extracted facts, and historical patterns for deep semantic reasoning.
Canvas workflows
Instead of just chatting, you can construct workflows using the Canvas UI. You build node-based state machines that define how the agent should react, what tools it should use, and when it should escalate to a human. The agent strictly follows this execution path.
Multi-agent orchestration
The Orchestrator at /api/orchestrator uses LLM intent classification to route requests to the right agent. Agents can delegate to each other via the inbox system. A sales agent can hand off a support issue to the support agent without human intervention.
Always on, globally distributed
The backend runs on Cloudflare Workers — a globally distributed edge runtime with zero cold starts. Your agents respond in milliseconds from the nearest edge node, 24/7, with no infrastructure to manage. A 3-provider fallback chain (Anthropic → Gemini → OpenAI) guarantees 99.99% AI uptime.
