For the people you've been trying to find.
Birth parents. Adult siblings split apart in foster care. Veterans looking for the unit they served with. Childhood friends lost to chaos. The person who saved your life. ReunionHive uses AI to do the research humans can't afford, then handles the careful first-contact outreach with dignity.
Not surveillance. Both parties consent before any connection is made. If the person you're looking for doesn't want to be found, we tell you honestly and stop.
How it works, in plain English.
Traditional private investigators are out of reach for most families — the hourly rates add up fast on a multi-day search, and a thorough reunion search often takes days of work. Many families never start because of the cost. We rebuilt the workflow.
The AI does the heavy lifting.
AI cross-references public records, news archives, obituaries, voter rolls, court filings, real estate transfers, and social media leads. It pattern-matches across millions of documents quickly. What once required days of human investigation can now happen in hours.
Humans do the human moments.
We verify what the AI finds. We make the careful judgment calls. We draft the dignity-first first-contact letter — the one that explains who's looking, why, and lets the other person say yes, no, or set conditions. We never identify the searcher unless the contacted person consents.
You get the honest result.
If we find them and they want contact: we make the connection. If we find them and they don't: we tell you they were found and respectfully declined — we never share contact details or location without their permission. If we cannot find them: we tell you what we tried, where the trail went cold, and what next steps might be worth pursuing.
Pricing, named honestly.
Lower than traditional PI fees because the AI handles the cognitive load. No hidden costs. No "we made progress" upsells without progress.
Initial assessment
Tell us who you're looking for. We'll tell you:
- Whether the case is findable
- Realistic odds + estimated effort
- What it would cost (research only, or full reconnection)
- Whether we'll take the case at all
Honest yes/no. No upsell. No fake urgency.
Research report
- AI pass through public records, news archives, social leads
- Structured report: what we found, where the trail went, what's worth pursuing
- If we cannot find: honest explanation of why + next-step options
- You decide whether to proceed to outreach
Reconnection package

What we do — and what we won't.
Cases we take
- Birth parents searching for adopted children
- Adopted adults searching for birth family
- Donor-conceived adults seeking biological parents or half-siblings
- Veterans / service members finding unit members, squadmates, the person who pulled them out
- Adult siblings separated by foster care
- Childhood friends and classmates from long ago
- People wanting to thank someone — a teacher, a first responder, a stranger who helped at a critical moment
- Estranged family wanting to reconnect, when both parties might be willing
- Old letters, photos, journals being returned to descendants
Cases we refuse
- Divorce, marital surveillance, infidelity investigation
- Stalking, unwanted contact, anyone who has documented their wish not to be contacted
- Debt collection, process service, asset recovery
- Crime investigation (refer to law enforcement)
- Background checks for employment or housing
- Anything that would expose the subject to harm, immigration risk, or family-court complications
- Anyone under active restraining order from the searcher
- Cases requiring sealed court records or law enforcement databases we don't have access to
If a case sits between these lines — for example, finding a parent who left when you were a child and whose feelings you don't yet know — we'll talk it through in the initial assessment. Hard cases sometimes have honest paths.

Free initial assessment. We aim to respond within 72 hours with whether we can take the case, what the realistic odds are, and what it would cost. We never charge until you authorize the next step.
Why this exists.
The technology to find people has existed for years. The cost of running a thorough search has been the barrier — traditional PI workflows quickly run into the thousands of dollars. Most families never start.
AI changed the math. The cognitive work that took days of human investigation can now be done in hours by an AI workflow trained on public-records research. We pass the savings through. The mission only works if real people can afford it.
