seek
01
Camera-first
Seek was built around visual input from day one — the camera is the front door, not an afterthought.
Seek — Know what you see.
Identify objects by picture
Turn the things you notice into something you remember.
Scan an unfamiliar object, understand what you found, and save the discoveries you want to find again.
Point · identify · save
Seek helps you scan an object, check a result, and save discoveries into a collection.

The moment you wonder
You notice something. You want to know what it is.
A plant on a desk. Headphones on a table. An object that stops you for a second — then usually disappears back into the day.
From a glance to an answer
Camera → scan → result you can check
Seek sends the photo to Seek’s servers for identification. You get a name, a category, and a confidence score. Exact brand or model is not guaranteed.

Confidence is shown in the app · Vision
A clear name and category you can check. An exact brand or model is not guaranteed.
AI object recognition
A result you can check
When Seek identifies an object, you get a name, a category, and a confidence score. The result can be wrong.
- Object name — a clear, common name
- Category — for browsing what you saved
- Confidence — honest match quality
- Ask a follow-up about the identified object
Ask About This
Stay with the object. Ask what you need next.
After identifying an object, Seek stays in context so a follow-up does not start from zero.
“What are the specs?”
“Who makes this?”
“Any alternatives?”
“What should I know?”
Then use Find It: where to buy it, the user manual, spare parts, repair guides, and similar items, all from the same scan.

Ask Seek
Follow-ups stay attached to the scan you just made.
Why Seek
Built on four principles
02
Depth over breadth
Rather than identifying everything poorly, Seek stays with the object and helps you understand it.
03
Check the result
A scan can be wrong. Confidence is a guide, not a guarantee of the brand or model.
04
Saved on Seek’s servers
Collections and inventory are stored with your device on Seek’s servers, not only on the phone.
Privacy & Trust
What a scan does with your photo
A photo you take in Seek is sent to Seek’s servers so the app can identify it. Do not assume that photo is deleted the moment the result appears.
Server identification
Recognition runs through Seek’s API, using an AI vision provider. It is not an on-device-only scan.
Collections are saved
Collections and inventory are stored on Seek’s servers, tied to your device.
Results can be wrong
You may get the wrong name, or no exact model. Check anything that matters.

Common questions
What exactly is Seek?
Seek is an AI object identifier for iPhone and Android. Take a photo of something you do not recognize and see a suggested name.
How does the recognition work?
The photo is sent to Seek’s servers. The app returns a name, a category, a confidence score, and sometimes alternatives. A result can be wrong, especially for an exact brand or model.
What kinds of objects can Seek identify?
Everyday objects, products, plants, electronics, and other visible items. It will not identify every object, and it may miss an exact model.
What can I do after Seek names an object?
After a scan, Find It helps you look for where to buy the item, its user manual, spare parts, repair guides, and similar items. Ask Seek answers follow-up questions about the object by text or voice. See the spare parts guide for an example.
What are collections?
Curated groups of scans — so discoveries stay organized instead of disappearing into a camera roll.
Is there an inventory feature?
Yes. You can save identified objects into collections and keep an inventory of what you own. Those lists are stored with your device on Seek’s servers.
How does visual search work?
Search across your scans and collections by name, brand, or category.
Is Seek available for iOS and Android?
Yes. Download it on the App Store and Google Play.
Is Seek free?
Seek is free to download and use. Seek Pro is not available yet.
What about my privacy?
Scan photos are uploaded to Seek’s servers for identification. Collections and inventory may be stored on those servers with your device. This website may record anonymous visitor and session ids, page views, section views, store clicks, referrer and UTM data, device type, country, and exit information. It does not store a raw IP address, name, or email unless you send the contact form.
