​Sapiens is a one-day San Francisco hackathon for AI that improves human intelligence. You have eight hours to build a tool that helps someone learn, think, remember, speak, or perceive better with or without AI.

​The Tracks

• ​Learning: Build understanding that lasts.

• ​Thinking: Improve human judgement. Reason better and challenge what you've missed.

• ​Memory: Help people and agents keep their context and recover thoughts.

• ​Voice: Express yourself or learn a language, making yourself understood with ElevenLabs

• ​Senses: Extend what people see and hear with wearables and spatial tools.

​Who Should Apply

​Sapiens is for student builders from UC Berkeley, Stanford and across San Francisco: engineers, designers, researchers and founders who build with AI. We're bringing 100+ builders together at Entrepreneurs First. Spots are limited and registration requires approval, so apply early.
