A hybrid hackathon exploring the use of AI agents to accelerate progress in human longevity. Participants form teams to tackle scientific and industry challenges across two tracks—ranging from structuring biological knowledge to building deployable tools with immediate market potential. The event is designed for researchers, engineers, healthcare professionals, and product builders interested in contributing to aging and longevity innovation.

Aging research remains fragmented and slow relative to AI progress. The event emphasizes AI agents for literature and data synthesis, faster hypothesis cycles, personalization using individual data, and open resources.

Tracks

• Fundamental Track—applied, KPI-driven challenges curated by Gero.ai, Retro.bio, and aging biologists. Focus: structuring multi-level aging knowledge; age-aware precision medicine.
• Rapid Adoption Track—sponsored by VitaDAO & BIO.XYZ. Focus: intelligent market/asset scouting; unified trial intelligence; AI-assisted preclinical planning.

Who should join

AI engineers, longevity researchers, healthcare professionals, data scientists, product builders, and motivated contributors from adjacent fields.

Key details

• Dates: Oct 7–25 (build period Oct 7–24; finals Oct 25)
• Registration: open now through Oct 5
• Platform: Discord for collaboration and mentoring
• Evaluation: innovation, technical execution, scientific rigor, real-world impact
• Prize pool: $20,000 across both tracks, plus mentorship, partnership pathways, and potential follow-on funding
