After launching less than a year ago Andreessen Horowitz-backed AI startup is building steam

SAN FRANCISCO: Longeye, developer of AI-powered investigative tools for law enforcement and the justice system, today released how much data its platform has processed since its launch in October 2025. The data is spread across dozens of American police departments, and shows a considerable uptick in the amount of files being scanned and analyzed in 2026 versus 2025.

“2025 was a wonderful start for Longeye,” said founder and CEO Guillaume Delepine. “We had a great launch, are lucky to enjoy collaborative relationships with our growing list of pioneering customers, and remain focused on making sure our investigators can manage whatever data sets come their way. Based on the early numbers we are seeing in 2026, this year’s data already trumps last year’s by an exponential factor.”

Longeye was formed to address a critical challenge facing modern law enforcement: the overwhelming volume of digital evidence in criminal cases combined with the reality that in 2024 only 44 percent of violent crimes and 16 percent of property crimes were solved nationwide. While 90 percent of cases involve digital files, nearly 70 percent of criminal investigators report lacking the time necessary to go through all of the digital evidence each case presents.

“More evidence. Same staffing,” said the Redmond, WA Police Department’s Chief of Police, Darrell Lowe. “Longeye compresses review time, surfaces what matters, and connects related evidence faster. It creates real investigative efficiency and gives my detectives time back to interview, investigate, and follow up.”

“Longeye has already transformed how our department approaches criminal investigations and digital evidence analysis, delivering results that have directly enhanced community safety in ways we could only imagine a few years ago,” said Chief Eric Lane of Hawthorne (CA) Police Department. “We're genuinely excited about the future as Longeye's exceptional team continues to push the boundaries of what's possible, and we can't wait to see the groundbreaking capabilities they'll bring next."

In just the first three months of 2026, across all of its partner police departments and law enforcement agencies, Longeye processed the equivalent of 34 years of detective work:

• 25M files across 35 agencies
• 1.4 years of audio + 6 months of video (nearly 2 years of media)
• 3.1M pages of documents (over 15 years to read at 100 pages/hour)
• 5.8M images analyzed (nearly 3 years to review at 1,000 images/hour)
• 56K spreadsheets and databases analyzed (7 years to review at 15 min per table)
• 72 social media warrant returns analyzed

2025 Recap (~5 years of detective work equivalent):

• 1.58M files across 16 agencies
• 11 months of audio + 11 days of video (just under 1 year of media)
• 183K pages of documents
• 231K images analyzed

In addition to the data processed by its customers, Longeye added the following capabilities to its platform in 2026:

• Case-level AI investigation that lets detectives ask questions across all evidence in a case simultaneously
• Collaborative report writing where AI drafts warrants, case summaries, and affidavits directly from case evidence, with citations investigators can verify before filing
• Spreadsheet and database analysis that lets investigators query structured data in plain English
• Interactive maps with timeline playback that visualize GPS, cell tower, ALPR, and IP geolocation data on a map with a time slider, exportable as video for court presentations
• Face detection and clustering that automatically identifies and groups faces across all images in a case, allowing investigators to instantly find every photo of a person of interest
• Axon Evidence.com integration enabling investigators to import files directly from their existing evidence management system
• Thematic search across audio and video that finds related terms automatically - searching “gun” also surfaces mentions of “handgun,” “firearm,” and “weapon”

These 2026 additions build on a foundation established at launch, when Longeye introduced cell phone extraction processing for Cellebrite UFDR files, social media warrant return analysis, redundant transcription that tests multiple AI models against each audio file, and support for 100+ languages so English-speaking investigators can drive analysis without tasking native speakers.
