What if we could turn the longevity ecosystem’s insights and experiences into collective wisdom?

The New Longevity Brain is an AI-powered search and knowledge engine developed by  Apurva.ai and Ashoka New Longevity to support changemakers in the field of longevity and aging. It provides access to cross-sector collective intelligence—drawing from social innovators, researchers, communities, government, market, and media actors—and transforms diverse insights into actionable knowledge for individuals and institutions working to address social challenges and drive systemic change. 

Unlike general-purpose AI platforms, the New Longevity Brain is specifically designed to advance social impact in the field of longevity and aging. It draws from curated expert knowledge, incorporates lived experiences from communities (including older adults), and is governed by a set of ethical guidelines, privacy safeguards, and transparency standards that ensure fairness, relevance, and contextual accuracy. 

Users submit questions through the platform’s interface (including via WhatsApp or website). The AI engine analyzes these questions using structured and unstructured datasets curated by Ashoka and its partners, then delivers synthesized, actionable insights. It also highlights systemic interdependencies, addresses biases, and anticipates unintended consequences to support changemakers in navigating complex social ecosystems. 

The platform excels with questions that are systemic, intersectional, and open-ended. For example: 

• How can intergenerational learning enhance community health? 

• What policies are most effective in combating ageism in the workplace? 

• How does caregiving affect women’s economic participation in Chile? 

• What are the systemic barriers to older adults accessing digital services? 

• How does caregiving intersect with gender and economic inequality in the Global South? 

Highly specific, statistical, or transactional questions may not yield accurate results unless they are grounded in systemic inquiry. 

Yes. The New Longevity Brain is not a database or directory but a systemic analysis tool. It may not perform well with highly specific, transactional, or purely statistical questions—such as requests for exact figures, exhaustive lists, or time-bound data—especially when they lack a contextual dimension. For example:

• “List all organizations working with older people in São Paulo.” 

• “What’s the unemployment rate of older adults in 1995?”
