Microaggression Awareness Quiz Development

This project introduces students to the idea of a pattern language —a set of recurring social tactics or moves that people use, often unconsciously, to maintain power or control in everyday interactions. Just like a language has grammar and vocabulary, these social patterns have predictable structures —ways of speaking or acting that repeat across different contexts and relationships. At FIA, we’ve developed a detailed pattern library that breaks down the power moves used in manipulation and microaggressions. You can view our detailed patterns here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lG4vRWw=/. These patterns might seem minor or random at first, but they’re actually the basic recipes that reinforce larger systems of inequality—like racism, sexism, and classism. By learning to see this pattern language of oppression , students can recognize how these small social moves link up with broader civil rights struggles —and how feelings of powerlessness today often echo deeper historical patterns of domination.

AI-Driven Research Think Tank Internship Proposal: Visioning the Future of Relationship Fraud Detection

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) has developed a research-backed web app called ChatBoy , designed to help users recognize and respond to manipulative communication. The app includes over 1,700 scenario-based questions and responses, each carefully crafted and approved by psychologists using a behavioral trait scoring system built over years of research. Right now, ChatBoy functions like a quiz—it’s effective, but static. This project invites a student to help us build the next-gen MVP by transforming those same questions and characters into interactive, personality-driven AI agents using generative AI tools. We’re not looking for a polished or commercial product—just something functional that demonstrates how ChatBoy could evolve. We’ll provide all the structured content: character personalities, speech patterns, and behavioral logic. Your job is to plug that into an AI architecture (like LangChain, GPT Agents, or something similar) to produce 16 dynamic character bots that users can talk to. You’ll take our data, add some flair, and create an MVP that shows what’s possible when real-world behavioral insights meet modern AI.

Which biological signals show the earliest measurable signs of acute stress in response to perceived interpersonal threat — and which consumer wearables can best detect them?

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is an innovation lab that builds tools to prevent manipulation, coercive control, and relational abuse. We focus on scalable, tech-enabled solutions that help people improve their social discernment — the ability to spot subtle red flags in relationships before they escalate. This project investigates how wearable health technology can be used to detect early signs of distress in high-pressure or coercive relationships. By identifying measurable biological responses (e.g., heart rate variability, skin conductance), we hope to understand which biomarkers are most useful for real-time detection of emotional harm.

Modular System Architecture Design for Women's Self-Help Platform

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is developing a modular ecosystem of self-help and discernment tools for women navigating complex psychological and social challenges — including neurodivergence, trauma, coercive control, cultural displacement, and other intersectional realities. Over the past year, we've worked with dozens of multidisciplinary student teams to build a wide range of toolkits and modules — from AI-powered relationship simulations to gamified diagnostics, from peer-led emotional regulation systems to education tools for power literacy. These components are powerful in isolation, but they now need to be unified. This is a special, high-complexity assignment. What we need is not a feature builder, but a systems engineer or systems-thinking team who can audit the full scope of FIA’s work, understand its conceptual underpinnings, and propose a technical architecture that will bring cohesion, extensibility, and efficiency to a rapidly growing initiative. FIA can be thought of as a kind of Drupal for social technology — a modular, user-driven system meant to flexibly support the unique psychological needs of women whose lived experiences often fall outside mainstream frameworks. This project will require significant ramp-up time to understand the depth and novelty of FIA’s ecosystem. Because we are pioneering a new field — with unique products unlike anything currently on the market — there is no standard playbook. The student(s) will be asked to synthesize a wide body of research, tools, and datasets and identify the architectural “fascia” (connective tissue) that can support modular deployment, consistent UX, and responsible data integration across components. It is a rare opportunity for a creative systems engineer to lead platform-level thinking and design, producing high-level architectural diagrams, identifying technological requirements for cohesion and scale, and advising FIA leadership on what needs to happen next — operationally, technically, and structurally — to support this ecosystem long-term. The ideal candidate will be someone who thrives on managing complexity, designing modular systems, and translating visionary ideas into robust operational frameworks.
