An AI-assisted Lost & Found Reclaim System for College Campuses
During college fests and large campus events or even in small communities, lost and found items are common but reclaiming them is inefficient, unverified, and often unsafe.
Reclaim solves this by combining AI-based item verification, smart matching, and a secure reclaim request flow.
Reclaim is a web application that enables users to:
- Report lost or found items
- Automatically analyze item images using AI
- Match lost items with found items intelligently
- Securely request and verify ownership claims
- Uses Google Gemini to analyze uploaded images
- Extracts item type and primary color
- Enables smarter matching beyond text descriptions
- Matches items based on item type and color
- Prevents irrelevant reclaim requests
- Authenticated reclaim requests
- Verification before approval
