We’re building more than MVPs. We’re building a network of people who want to make real things and keep going after the hackathon.
Agentic AI x Longevity Hackathon
AI agents, working to extend human life. Now.
September 5–7, 2025 | San Francisco & Online
We want to bring together curious people — biologists, AI experts, coders, scientists — and build working MVPs that apply AI agents to real challenges in longevity research.
GOAL
No fluff. Just smart people building tools that matter.

So why isn’t it helping us tackle aging?
Aging is biology’s biggest unsolved problem — not a philosophical one, but a technical one. It’s rich in data, full of interactions, and desperately in need of better tools.
Now enter AI agents — intelligent systems that can plan tasks, run tools, extract knowledge, and make decisions. What if we used these agents to attack the complexity of longevity science?

AI can write code, fly planes, and summarize legal documents
What We'll Be Working On
Patent Mining Agents
Millions of drug–target interaction measurements (IC50, Ki, EC50) are buried in pharmaceutical patents — unstructured, unlabeled, and inaccessible.
Platforms like ChEMBL only scratch the surface.
We want to build AI agents that dig deeper, creating open biomedical datasets from patent text to unlock years of valuable data.

AI Agents as Bio-Pharmacologists
Imagine this:
"What happens if we give this molecule to a human?"
An agent pulls the literature, predicts toxicity, maps targets, runs simulations, and gives a summary.
Not sci-fi. That’s your hackathon challenge: build the core of such an agent using public APIs and real-world tools.

Your Daily Longevity Assistant
New studies, preprints, and threads pop up every hour. No one can track them all.
Let’s build an AI agent that wakes up and says:
“Today, you should look into FOXO regulation — here are three hot new papers and a working hypothesis.”
Not just a summarizer — a context-aware research assistant that helps scientists focus and act.
