Interview Questions
Robyn AI
Data Analyst Intern

What excites you about this internship at Robyn AI?
What excites me most about this internship is the chance to use data to drive meaningful human connection. I love the idea of blending analytics with emotional intelligence—using behavioral insights not just to grow numbers, but to deepen how people relate and engage in a digital space. Robyn AI’s mission feels fresh and forward-thinking, and I’m drawn to how it uses data as a tool for empathy, not just optimization. I’m especially excited by the opportunity to work closely with the founding team and contribute to new product features from a data-informed perspective. I enjoy A/B testing and behavioral analysis, but what really drives me is translating those findings into creative, real-world ideas. I’d love to be part of a team that’s shaping how tech can feel more human.

Do you have any experience with tools like SQL, Python, Excel, or analytics platforms (e.g., PostHog, Mixpanel)?
I don’t have professional experience with SQL, Python, or Excel yet, but I’ve worked with all three through coursework and hands-on projects. I have a solid foundational understanding of how to use them for data analysis and problem-solving, and I’m eager to keep building those skills in a real-world setting. I’m also a fast learner and excited to apply these tools to uncover insights and support growth at Robyn AI.

What are 2 consumer apps you love and why do you think they’ve gone viral or built strong user habits?
Two consumer apps I love are TikTok and Pinterest. Both apps have built strong user habits and sustained growth through data-driven design and intuitive user experience.
TikTok’s success is rooted in its powerful algorithm and frictionless content discovery. The app learns user preferences quickly based on micro-engagements like watch time, replays, likes, and shares—creating a hyper-personalized experience that makes it hard to put down. Its short-form video format, trend culture, and ease of content creation all contribute to viral growth. From a data perspective, TikTok constantly optimizes feed content using real-time behavioral signals, which reinforces habit formation and time spent on the app.
Pinterest has built a loyal user base by positioning itself as a visual search engine and inspiration platform rather than a traditional social network. Its appeal lies in its evergreen content, personalized discovery, and utility-driven design. Users come back not just for entertainment, but to plan events, outfits, meals, or DIY projects—making it highly purpose-driven. Pinterest leverages user data to deliver curated pins based on interests and past behavior, and its intuitive organization tools (boards, sections, saved pins) reinforce long-term use. The app also benefits from positive emotional association making users feel relaxed, inspired, and in control while using it, which strengthens retention.
