Opportunity Description
This is an opportunity to work with an Ashoka Staff. It is an unpaid, volunteer position. Ashoka is the world's largest association of social entrepreneurs, supporting 4,000+ social entrepreneurs from over 90 countries. The organization aims to create a world in which every person can be a changemaker. For more information, please visit ashoka.org.
Job Description
We have created a prototype for an application that generates "strategy inspirations" for any social problem that the user provides. The scenarios are generated by a GPT-3.5-turbo model that we finetuned with hundreds of impact strategies of leading social entrepreneurs in Ashoka's network. The application currently runs as a Jupyter notebook. It's super simple. Text in, text out. No follow-up conversation with the bot. We also have design files for a landing page. The goal of the project is to turn this prototype into a web application that can run on the ashoka.org website. Again: nothing fancy or complicated; just a simple service that we hope will inspire changemakers around the world. We believe that the whole thing can be implemented in less than 20h. We say "4h / week for 1-3 months", because deployment might take a few iterations with Ashoka's web team. Please let us know today if you can help!
