Syria's Lost

Syria's Lost is an application developed by Alesa Ai to address the critical issue of missing persons in Syria, particularly those who disappeared during the Assad Regime. The platform is designed to collect, store, and organize documents, data, information, and reports related to individuals who have gone missing. Its primary aim is to preserve vital records that might otherwise be lost or damaged as families search through prisons, police stations, and government buildings for evidence about their loved ones.

The app operates in two main stages. Initially, it focuses on gathering and collating as much relevant data as possible, ensuring that documents and information are safeguarded from being discarded or rendered illegible over time. In its next phase, Syria's Lost leverages artificial intelligence to format the collected information into large language model (LLM) datasets and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) databases. This enables advanced searching and analysis of the data, supporting efforts to bring closure to those affected by enforced disappearances.

Syria's Lost is currently available for Android devices, as iPhones are not permitted in Syria at present. An iOS version is planned for release to serve users outside of Syria. The application is offered free of charge, reflecting its mission to assist the Syrian people and their families in finding missing persons and preserving crucial information. The tool is intended for Syrians both within the country and abroad who have been impacted by the regime's actions and are seeking answers about their missing loved ones.

Developed by Alesa Ai, Syria's Lost is positioned as a specialized tool for data preservation and analysis in the context of human rights and humanitarian needs, focusing on the unique challenges faced by those searching for the disappeared in Syria.
