Every company challenge, answered by science.
by SmarTies · 31 Oct 2026 · Black Friday AI Hackathon
The problem
Universities and companies in the same city rarely find each other.
How it works
Analysts read the companies while profilers read the faculties; a critic sends unsupported claims back.
What you get
Proposals for the best pairs, and a list of research needs the university can't yet meet.
These work at the same time. The last one waits for what they find.
Industry Analysts
Three, each reading a third of the companies.
Research Profilers
Three, each owning whole faculties.
Matchmaker
Ranks pairs from a search library.
Writer and Critic
Draft the proposals and check every claim.

Jannet Ekka
Applied AI engineer in Kolkata, joining online. I build LLM agents and the tests around them: Wiretrap checks agents for security by reading their tool-call logs, and SMT is a trading agent that has to show why it made each trade. This weekend I want to learn Mozaik and get several agents working at the same time on shared state, with a trace that shows what each one did. Open to joining a team.
