Jobs in Tel Aviv-Yafo

Description Ask-AI is expanding its Research Team and is looking for MSc or PhD students to join us as part-time research students. This is a unique opportunity to work closely with Ask-AI’s research scientists on cutting-edge problems at the intersection of NLP and agentic AI systems. About Ask-AI Ask-AI brings B2B GTM teams into the AI era by layering an agent-first architecture on a real Customer Context Model- enriching every interaction with accurate reasoning, signal extraction, and proactive insight. Built on more than 100 deep integrations, our platform ships five core products- Knowledge, Assist, Intelligence, Alerting, and Self-Serve- all running on shared infrastructure. Each new product we launch would have been a standalone company in the pre-AI era; for us, it’s a focused product built on a common foundation, enabling rapid, reliable releases and compounding leverage. Our no-code Agent Builder allows teams to design and deploy agents (models, tools, triggers, actions) with governance and traceability, while the context layer powers sentiment analysis, trend detection, risk identification, and real-time alerts- modernizing customer experience end-to-end without disrupting existing workflows.
