Wayfair Applied AI Agent
Build real AI agents with no coding required. In this externship with Wayfair, you’ll use a tool called n8n to design agents that automate insights, decisions, and workflows—then showcase them in a live dashboard. Gain hands-on skills you can apply in marketing, consulting, product, or data roles.
What happens when you mix AI agents with thousands of products and real-time trends?
