Inspiration
VCs and researchers waste hours manually reviewing university tech transfer offices for relevant intellectual property. Most IPs are irrelevant to their focus areas, resulting in:
Wasted time reviewing hundreds of irrelevant technologies High API costs scraping everything Missed opportunities in the noise
What it does
Agent S solves this: Automatically scout, classify, and filter IPs from multiple universities in minutes, not hours.
How we built it
Universal URL Extraction Works across MIT, Stanford, HKU, NUS, and 50+ universities Handles pagination, "Show More" buttons, and dynamic content Auto-translates non-English content (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) LLM Pre-Filtering Classifies IPs BEFORE scraping (saves 70% time & cost) Categories: Life Sciences, Medical Devices, Other Smart hybrid mode: Heuristics → LLM for uncertain cases Hybrid Scraping Traditional scraping (BeautifulSoup) for speed OpenAI/AGI web search tool fallback for JS-heavy/blocked sites Automatic quality detection and retry logic
Challenges we ran into
With Pecking university, where the website has a search bar for manual IP search.
What's next for University IP Scout
Test and scale with more universities.
