What Longeye does

Longeye is a San Francisco-based AI software company founded in 2025 by Guillaume Delepine (formerly Skydio's public safety lead) and Danielle Man (formerly Senior Director at Apollo GraphQL) that builds an investigative workspace for law enforcement agencies overwhelmed by digital evidence. The company serves police departments, state corrections departments, district attorneys' offices, and (planned) public defenders' offices, and was deployed across 35 agencies in California, Arizona, Washington, and Oklahoma by 2026, processing approximately 25 million files representing roughly 34 years of equivalent manual detective work.

The Longeye platform is a unified SaaS workspace comprising Chat, Audio Explorer, Video Explorer, Images Explorer, Documents Explorer, Tables, Geospatial Intelligence, and Report Writing modules. Underlying capabilities span computer vision (face detection and clustering, license plate recognition, OCR with translation, scene extraction on a dedicated GPU pipeline), speech and audio (real-time transcription and translation across 100+ languages with speaker identification), knowledge retrieval with source-linked citations for courtroom defensibility, anomaly detection (CSAM detection with NCMEC CyberTipline reporting), and structured-data analysis with GPS route mapping. The platform runs as self-hosted AI on AWS with per-case evidence isolation, no model training on customer data, SOC 2 Type II certification, and FBI CJIS-compliant architecture built from the ground up.

Longeye operates a sales-led enterprise GTM model targeting Chiefs, detectives, and IT staff via direct field sales, on-site training, IACP conference presence, and significant earned media including the Washington Post, ABC7 News, Forbes, Axios, Wired, and GeekWire. Revenue is generated through quote-based subscription contracts with no per-user licensing; multi-year terms are structured around government funding cycles such as the COPS Technology Equipment Program's two-year prepaid structure. The company intends to provide services free of charge to public defenders' offices as part of a balanced-justice initiative. Longeye closed a $5 million seed round in October 2025 led by Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism Fund with participation from Seven Stars Capital and strategic angels.

Core offering

Longeye provides a self-hosted, AI-powered investigative SaaS workspace that lets U.S. law enforcement, corrections, and prosecution agencies ingest every form of digital evidence — jail calls, surveillance and bodycam video, mobile device (Cellebrite UFDR) extracts, photographs, PDFs, spreadsheets, GPS data, and social media warrant returns — and query it through a plain-language conversational interface with source-linked, court-defensible answers. The platform replaces weeks of manual digital forensics review with relevance-ranked, cross-file analysis delivered in minutes, and is purpose-built to be CJIS-compliant and verifiable so that AI-generated findings can be defended in court.

Product overview

Longeye is an AI-powered investigative workspace for law enforcement, offered as a single unified SaaS platform. The core platform includes Chat (plain-language conversational AI across all evidence), Audio Explorer (transcription and translation of jail calls), Video Explorer (scene extraction and visual analysis), Images Explorer (face detection, OCR, license plates), Documents Explorer (PDF and text analysis), Tables (structured data analysis), Geospatial Intelligence (interactive mapping), and Report Writing (AI-assisted drafting). All modules share a unified evidence workspace with source-linked citations, relevance ranking, and case-level context. The platform is self-hosted on AWS with CJIS-compliant security, SOC 2 Type II certification, and no data training on case evidence.

Direct peers

• MSAB: Mobile forensics specialist providing extraction and review tools to law enforcement globally; comparable as a peer digital forensics vendor with overlapping evidence-analysis use cases.
• Cellebrite: Market leader in mobile device forensics whose UFDR extractions Longeye natively ingests. Both companies serve law enforcement digital evidence workflows, though Cellebrite focuses on extraction and Longeye on downstream AI analysis.
• Veritone: Provides AI-powered evidence and media analytics for law enforcement, legal, and public sector customers, including audio/video transcription and content analysis - directly overlapping Longeye's core modalities.
• Magnet Forensics: Digital forensics platform used by law enforcement to recover and analyze evidence from devices and cloud sources. Highly comparable as a peer digital forensics vendor serving the same investigator buyer.
• PenLink: Provides communications intelligence and link-analysis platforms for law enforcement investigations, directly comparable to Longeye's jail-call analysis, cross-file querying, and relationship-graph capabilities.

Emerging players

• Reveal: AI-powered eDiscovery and investigations platform with legal hold, review, and analytics; comparable in technology stack (AI over evidence corpora) though focused on civil litigation rather than criminal investigations.
• Mark43: Cloud-native public safety platform (CAD/RMS) for police agencies; adjacent rather than overlapping, but increasingly adds analytics modules that may converge with Longeye's investigative AI.

Broad incumbents

• SoundThinking (ShotSpotter): Public safety analytics vendor (gunshot detection, crime analytics) with established agency footprint; broader mission than Longeye but competes for the same investigative-AI procurement dollars.
• Palantir Technologies: Operates Gotham and other data analytics platforms with significant law enforcement deployments; broader in scope than Longeye but competes for the same agency analytics budgets and CIO attention.
• Axon: Dominant public safety platform (body cameras, tasers, evidence.com, Draft One AI for police reports) with deep agency relationships. Longeye already integrates with Axon Evidence.com, but Axon's bundled AI roadmap is the most direct competitive threat.
