Founding AI Product Builder (Automation, Deck Systems & Internal Tools)

About SplitStay

SplitStay is creating the coordination layer for people travelling to the same event. The product helps attendees connect before they arrive and plan safer, smarter, and more social stays based on budget, preferences, and compatibility.

The company’s focus spans sports and endurance gatherings such as HYROX, Ironman, and marathons; gaming, anime, and fan conventions such as Comic-Con, Anime Expo, and Gamescom; festivals and entertainment events such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, and SXSW; and conferences, associations, and trade shows such as IMEX and IBTM. The mission is straightforward: better events begin before arrival, and the goal is for people to arrive connected.

The opportunity

SplitStay is seeking an exceptional AI-native builder to design and implement its internal AI systems. This role is not a conventional operations, design, or pure engineering position. It is for someone who enjoys converting messy founder workflows into scalable AI-driven systems and who naturally thinks in workflows, systems, automation, and leverage. Speed and practical execution matter here.

First mission: AI Deck Generator

The initial priority is to help build SplitStay’s internal AI Deck Generator. At present, the team prepares high-quality partnership decks manually for different event categories and strategic partners. The aim is to automate that process while keeping the quality high.

The intended input includes the target event or company, the audience, and the objective. The expected output is a complete seven-slide deck with tailored messaging, event-specific visuals, and a presentation-ready export. The objective is to produce strong decks in minutes instead of hours.

Reference decks mentioned for the desired output style include examples for HYROX, Comic-Con, and IMEX. The underlying structure is consistent: a strong opening hook, the problem or market pain, the SplitStay solution and journey, product proof through a live demo, strategic value or ROI, a pilot proposal or credibility signal, and a clear call to action.

What you will work on

The work is split across three phases. Phase 1 focuses on automating partnership decks, pitch decks, investor decks, and proposals. Phase 2 extends into an AI content engine for landing pages, event pages, outreach messaging, and marketing assets. Phase 3 involves building internal AI infrastructure, including automation pipelines, internal tools, AI workflows, and repeatable content systems.

Tools and stack preferences

The team is open on tools, but experience with several of the following is considered valuable: ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for AI work; Figma, Gamma, and Canva for design; Zapier, Make, Airtable, and Notion for automation; and, as a bonus, APIs, Python, Supabase, Cursor, and Replit for technical implementation.

What kind of person fits best

The ideal person is deeply interested in AI workflows, enjoys automation, combines builder and operator thinking, values speed and execution, thrives in fast-moving startup environments, and likes working closely with founders. SplitStay is open to a range of backgrounds, including AI Product Builder, Automation Engineer, No-Code Builder, Workflow Automation Specialist, Product-minded Operator, and Startup Generalist with strong AI skills.

Application task

Applicants are asked to explain how they would build SplitStay’s AI Deck Generator in seven days. The response should cover the workflow architecture, the tools to be used, a rough implementation plan, and what the first version would look like.

Additional note

The team values thinking and building ability more than formal credentials. Interested candidates are asked to begin by sending a connection request to the founder.
