Radaris, a leading provider of people and business data intelligence, has announced the launch of its new AI-powered people search platform. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence and semantic search, the platform can analyze fragments of information, such as a first name, a town, or even an old workplace, and then cross-reference them against millions of public records to generate accurate, context-based matches.
Radaris pursues a goal of giving users the most reliable people search engine on the market. As such, the ultimate purpose of the new service is to redefine how Americans find, verify, and reconnect with people across the country.
Reconnecting America – One Search at a Time
Losing touch with people isn’t just a nostalgic regret – it’s part of modern life. Millions of Americans are constantly thinking of a college roommate who moved out West and never came back for homecoming, a fellow marine who promised to stay in touch but somehow didn’t, a childhood neighbor whose family moved away after the old plant closed, and countless other lost connections. This loss of touch and absence of closure is precisely what Radaris intends to remedy.
According to the American Survey Center, nearly half of U.S. adults say they’ve lost contact with several friends in the past year alone. And as the Harvard Happiness Lab reports, loneliness and social isolation continue to rise, despite the thousands of connections in an average phone.
The core problem exacerbating such a protracted state of loneliness and disconnection is that traditional people search tools are incapable of keeping pace with the snowballing amount of information being updated in real time. Many such services rely on static databases, outdated records, and exact-name matching, which results in frustration for users. Searching for “Susan from Phoenix who used to work at the dental office” often results in dead end leads or is deemed by the service to be too vague as input data.
Radaris is changing that. Its new AI-powered engine understands the context behind a search by recognizing partial details, estimating likely connections, and learning patterns across vast data sources to surface the right person, not just another name on a list.
Everyday Stories, Real Impact
Early users of the new service from Radaris have already shared stories that sound almost cinematic:
- A Massachusetts teacher who after 15 years of loss of touch found her college roommate, now living in Oregon and teaching art.
- A retired marine who reconnected with a former platoon member through a single clue – a town name from a holiday card.
- A Florida resident who located a distant cousin she hadn’t spoken to since the family reunion in 92.
“These aren’t just searches,” says Michael Kirkpatrick, Head of Communications at Radaris, “they’re rediscoveries – moments when technology helps people feel human again.”
Smarter Search for Modern Life
Beyond personal connections, the Radaris AI-powered platform offers practical tools for modern users:
- Professional Networking and Lead Verification to help confirm business contacts and update records with verified data.
- Neighborhood and Safety Checks to learn who’s moving in nearby or verify local listings.
- Due Diligence and Background Review to ensure transparency when working with new partners or service providers.
Each feature is built on the principle of privacy-first intelligence – giving users the ability to search confidently without compromising security or trust.
A New Chapter in People Search
As Americans relocate, switch jobs, and build new lives across states, the need to stay connected – or reconnect – has never been stronger. Radaris’ AI-driven approach offers a smarter, more human way to bridge the gaps.
Founded in 2009 in Boston by Data Analytics Advisors, Inc., Radaris has grown into one of the largest public data ecosystems in the U.S. and Europe. Its mission remains simple – to make access to accurate public information fast, ethical, and empowering.
