AI Applied Scientist - PhD Intern, Next-Gen Agentic and Multi-Modal Home Exploration Experience

Are you passionate about creating AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, and collaborating in real-world situations? The Zillow AI Applied Science team is dedicated to developing the next generation of agentic systems, powered by large foundation models, to assist customers in exploring , finding, and dreaming their ideal homes. With millions of users actively seeking the best way to shop for their next home, we are focused on building a cutting-edge online shopping experience. At the convergence of research, engineering, and product, we design AI agents that execute meaningful actions in multi-stakeholder environments. These agents achieve this by comprehending user needs and data, maintaining context, and optimizing for the customer-facing experience. Some of the questions we are asking in this new paradigm are: How can AI analyze complex user interactions within the UX to determine and suggest the most effective next steps for users? What is the optimal collaborative approach between AI and users to achieve the established objectives?
