The Elasticsearch Agent Builder Hackathon showed AI agents built with Elastic tools to solve real-world problems. Winners include PHAROS (drug safety in <60s), Gauntlet (adversarial testing), and a duplicate detection agent for Kenya’s HIV program.
The Elasticsearch Agent Builder Hackathon spotlighted Gauntlet, a top-three project that uses mocking agents to mutate tool calls, expose hidden failures, and improve AI agent reliability.
A multi-agent duplicate detection system built with Elastic Agent Builder addresses the 56% failure rate of manual duplicate detection in Kenya's HIV patient records. It uses tiered risk scoring and specific recs to provide $195K annual savings.
PHAROS is a 4-agent system built with Elasticsearch that automates pharmacovigilance. It detects adverse drug safety signals using WHO-standard analysis, generates regulatory reports, and sends critical alerts in under 60 seconds.
