Why Phone Numbers on Posters Fail
Most people who spot a lost pet won't call a stranger. A QR code is effortless to scan, and the AI conversation feels low-pressure. More scans means more sighting reports means a better chance of finding your pet.
Real-world use case
Lost Pet QR Posters That Help Bring Pets Home Faster
When someone spots your lost pet and scans the poster, the AI asks the right questions — where they saw them, when, what direction they were headed — and sends you the details immediately.
Intelligent Sighting Collection
The AI doesn't just collect a message. It asks structured questions: exact location, time, direction of travel, condition of the animal. This gives you actionable intelligence, not vague "I think I saw a dog" messages.
Instant Alerts
Every interaction triggers a notification to you with the sighting details. You can act fast — time matters when a pet is lost.

FAQ
Questions before you deploy
Does the person scanning need to give their name?
You can make it optional or required. Many people prefer to help anonymously — the sighting data is what matters.
Can I set an urgency level?
Yes. If your pet needs medication or is in danger, the AI will communicate that urgency to anyone who scans.
