Inspiration

Singapore is ageing rapidly, and by 2030, 1 in 4 Singaporeans will be seniors. Many retirees lose their sense of identity after leaving the workforce, even though they still hold decades of wisdom. At the same time, youths struggle to find trustworthy mentors who can guide them in career and life decisions. Legacy Connect was inspired by one idea: What if AI could restore purpose to seniors while giving younger generations access to real-world wisdom?

What it does

Converts a senior’s life experience into a polished professional mentor profile Extracts skills, strengths, and soft traits using semantic AI embeddings Matches mentees and mentors using a UCB1 bandit algorithm for fair, adaptive recommendations Operates on a multi-agent system: 1 Orchestrator + 20 Specialist Agents Ensures safe interactions through scam, harassment, and identity-risk detection Generates session summaries, legacy timelines, and progress insights It helps seniors feel valued again, and helps mentees make better decisions guided by real-life experience.

How we built it

Frontend with Next.js + TailwindCSS Backend with Supabase + PostgreSQL AI pipeline powered by OpenAI Agentic Framework 20 specialised agents handling profile building, matching, filtering, summarisation, risk detection, and more 1 Orchestrator Agent manages context flow and delegates tasks Semantic embeddings to compute meaning-based similarity UCB1 ranking algorithm to balance exploration vs. exploitation

Challenges we ran into

Preventing hallucinations in mentor portfolio creation Designing a system that seniors can use easily Getting Supabase + Drizzle migrations to work properly across different environments Balancing fairness and accuracy in mentor recommendations

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully implemented a UCB-based matching engine Created AI-generated mentor portfolios that genuinely sound human Achieved smooth multi-agent orchestration without breakdowns Designed a solution that can realistically scale nationally Built something that gives seniors a renewed sense of purpose

What we learned

How to architect a multi-agent system with an orchestrator The real power of semantic AI vs traditional keyword matching Why UCB is perfect for recommendation fairness How to create highly safe AI interactions for vulnerable groups The importance of UX simplicity for senior users

What's next for Legacy Connect

Add video calling + real-time transcript analysis Multilingual support: Mandarin, Malay, Tamil Mobile app (iOS + Android) for nationwide use Partnerships with community centres, NGOs, and government agencies AI-guided scam-awareness training for seniors Expand matching to include entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and personal wellness
