About Lautna

Lautna is an AI-powered, not for profit initiative to help families find missing people, pets, and belongings, and help them get back home.

Some people forget their way home. Some leave and lose their way. A pet slips out of the gate while a family waits by the door. A small thing we treasure goes missing and takes a memory with it. Lautna was created for all of them — for the person who cannot remember their own name, for the one who ran away and is missed more than they know, for the runaway pet, and for the lost thing you still hold dear. Wherever they are, Lautna exists to help them find the way back home.

Technocrat and technology leader

Lautna is a personal initiative by Thomas Vengal, a technocrat who believes technology should serve people first. Having seen how often families lose touch with missing loved ones, and how many found persons on streets, in shelters, and hospitals go unidentified, he built Lautna to put AI-powered search and reunion tools into everyone's hands, for people, pets, and belongings alike.

Lautna is built with care for dignity, privacy, and safety, and is offered free to all. It is run as a social cause, not for profit.

Why Lautna

A photo you forward is frozen the moment you send it. It cannot be corrected, it cannot be answered, and it does not stop. Families still get calls about people who came home a year ago, on a number they can never take back.

A forwarded photo keeps circulating after they are home. It puts a personal number into thousands of chats. It loses every sighting along the way, it cannot be found by anyone searching online, and it cannot be checked, so old posters get reused for scams.

A Lautna link says Reunited the day they are home. It keeps the number private and phone verified, collects sightings on the report as last seen, is a page search engines can find, and is reviewed by a person before it appears.

Post here first, then forward the link. Same groups, same forward, same urgency. The only difference is that this one can still change after it leaves your hands. Free, in your language, for as long as it takes.
