WAID - Wide Area Investigation Discoveries ### Every Clue Matters. Every Question Counts. Every Life Matters. What if the information needed to help find a missing person already exists, but nobody has connected it, recognized its significance, or asked the right question? WAID is an AI-powered investigative platform built to transform how missing-person cases are examined, how overlooked evidence is discovered, and how ordinary people can contribute to investigations that could change lives. Powered by Meta's AI technologies, including Muse Spark and Segment Anything (SAM), WAID combines human curiosity with advanced investigative reasoning and computer vision. WAID brings together two interconnected experiences: Public Investigations: Users explore real missing-person cases and collaborate with Meta AI to examine evidence, reconstruct timelines, identify contradictions, recognize overlooked details, and generate investigative questions that existing case records leave unanswered. Discoveries can be added to personal case charts for human review. Approved contributions earn points and leaderboard recognition, encouraging participation, sustained awareness, and collaborative investigation. Authorized Investigations: A specialized workspace integrates official AMBER Alerts, missing-person and fugitive notices, and a network of 99 configured traffic cameras across 20 states. Meta's SAM technology supports visual analysis of camera imagery, helping identify potentially relevant vehicles and visual characteristics. Investigators can review candidate observations, source information, and available evidence before determining appropriate next steps. The innovation isn't simply using AI to examine evidence. It's connecting AI reasoning, computer vision, real-world information, and human participation into one investigative ecosystem. WAID is designed to turn overlooked information into meaningful questions, questions into investigative leads, and those leads into opportunities for answers. Our mission extends beyond developing technology. We want to help locate missing children, support unresolved investigations, assist authorities, and give families searching for loved ones a better chance of finding answers. WAID does not replace investigators. It expands what investigators and communities can discover together. Observe what IS. Not what you THINK should be. WAID - Help Bring Them Home.
