Whembat: AI-Powered Bicycle Recovery (Whembat)

Whembat is a digital platform that leverages AI to help bike owners recover stolen bicycles. Users upload images of their stolen bike, and Whembat’s AI scans major online marketplaces (eBay, OLX, buycycle, Bikemarkt, police databases, etc.) for matches. The system notifies users of potential sightings, reducing manual search time. Whembat emphasizes privacy and secure data handling, and supports tracking multiple bikes. The service is designed to streamline the process of finding and reclaiming stolen bikes, using advanced image recognition to spot bikes even if sellers omit brand details. Whembat is free of ads and user tracking, and aims to empower cyclists to reclaim their property quickly[3].
