🛠️ How LostLink AI Was Crafted

🔧 Every part of the system – from the frontend to the AI engine – was built from scratch, focusing on simplicity, speed, and usability. No heavy frameworks, just clean logic and thoughtful design.

LostLink AI began as a simple idea: to make the recovery of lost items intelligent, fast, and secure. It evolved through multiple iterations of design, logic, and tuning. Our mission has always been user-first — ensuring each report, claim, and match feels natural and helpful. Hit the feedback button to tell us what you think 🙌.
