Who we are

Real business experience, before your first job.

Michigan Applied AI Society is a student organization for students who want hands-on experience using AI agents and harnesses to solve real problems for real organizations.

The world of business is rapidly changing as firms bring AI into everyday work. We believe students should learn these tools alongside the fundamentals, and get real experience using them before their careers begin. Members train together, work in teams on projects for real organizations, and build relationships with professionals across banking, investing and industry.

Our mission

Give students the skills, tools and experience to solve meaningful business problems.

We do that through rigorous training, real client work, and a network of peers and professionals who push each other to do their best work.

What we do

Three ways we develop our members

Education

Hands-on training in financial statements, valuation, comparable company analysis, strategy, and how to use AI tools effectively in business work.

Client Projects

Student teams complete semester-long projects for investment banks, private equity and venture capital firms, startups and companies.

Professional Development

Speaker events, mentorship, recruiting preparation, and support for members starting their own ventures.
