🌟 What I Built
I built Internship Job Finder Companion, an AI-powered workflow that automatically checks jobseeker.lk for new internship opportunities, structures them, and makes them instantly accessible through Google Sheets and Email.
The goal is to help students and job seekers quickly identify fresh internship openings, view requirements, and apply without wasting time browsing manually.

⚙️ How It Works
You can trigger the workflow in two ways:
Scheduled Run – The agent automatically fetches internship jobs from jobseaker.lk on a set schedule (e.g., daily or weekly).
Chatbot Command – Send a message to the bot like:
Show internships in Colombo
The workflow will then:
Query jobseaker.lk for the latest internship jobs
Parse job details (role, requirements, location, company, apply link)
Store them in Google Sheets for structured tracking
Send internship summaries via email with all key info (requirements, location, apply method)
Respond instantly via chatbot

Super neat workflow—love the scheduler + chatbot combo and the concise email summaries. Have you tried auto-deduping, expiry detection, and pushing to Notion/Airtable with Slack/Telegram alerts for faster triage? Would love to hear how others rank/validate postings or pull from additional boards—what filters, data sources, or tips have worked for you?
