AI-powered matching, fraud prevention ownership verification, and integrated return shipping — built for hotels, airports, transport operators, and event venues.
For venue and transport operators, every unresolved lost-item case is a staff burden, a reputational risk, and a potential liability.
Staff spend hours cross-referencing found items with inbound lost-item calls — no automation, no system.
Guests have no updates, no tracking, and no confidence their item will be found or returned.
Any item can be claimed by anyone who describes it convincingly. There is no verification layer.
Return shipping is ad hoc, expensive, and inconsistently handled across shifts and staff members.
"Reuniting people with what matters to them — effortlessly, securely, and at scale."
Items matched instantly using computer vision and semantic embeddings. No staff cross-referencing. No spreadsheets. Results in seconds.
AI generates questions only the true owner can answer. Confidence scoring auto-approves, auto-denies, or escalates — typically 80%+ resolved without human review.
Claimants choose shipping to home or venue meetup. Labels created automatically. Tracking updates pushed in real time. Platform fee of €8 per successful return shipment.
Lostly serves both guests who have lost something and the venue or transport staff who found it.

Three layers of AI work together to automate what currently takes hours of manual effort.
Claude AI vision analyses photos of found items and classifies them into 14 categories — electronics, clothing, documents, jewellery, keys, bags, and more. No manual filing required.
Lost item descriptions are embedded into 512-dimensional vectors. Cosine similarity matching instantly surfaces the closest found items — across all venues, in real time.
AI generates 3 tailored questions only the true owner can answer, derived from the private item description. Confidence scoring determines automatic approval, denial, or human escalation.
All messages between owners and finders pass through a PII filter that automatically removes phone numbers, emails, and other contact info — preventing off-platform contact until the system approves it.
No existing solution combines matching, verification, and shipping in one platform.
