I Built FindIt AI — A Local AI Assistant That Remembers Where You Kept Things

Description and use

FindIt AI is a local AI assistant that remembers where you left objects by detecting them in photos and storing the information locally.

Problem

Users often forget where they placed objects and lack a private way to recall their last seen location.

Outcome

FindIt AI successfully returns the last seen location of queried objects with high confidence and visual evidence, all processed locally without uploading photos.

Workflow

• Upload a photo of a space
• Detect objects with local YOLO
• Store detections, timestamps, confidence, and bounding boxes in SQLite
• Answer natural‑language queries by searching the visual memory
• Return the most recent matching memory with evidence image

Evidence

I built FindIt AI, a privacy‑focused visual memory assistant designed to help with exactly that problem.

Source

The idea is simple: take a photo of your desk, room, cupboard, backpack, or workspace, and FindIt AI uses local AI to detect objects and remember where they were seen.

Source

FindIt AI searches its visual memories and returns the object's last seen location, detection time, confidence, and the evidence image showing where the object was detected.
