I'm Vignesh, and I'm excited to launch Introthem.com — a people search engine that uses facial recognition to provide in-depth, accurate summaries of individuals, assist with HR screening, research prospects, and analyze brands.
The Problem: Researching individuals - whether for hiring or personalizing outreach - is a time-consuming challenge. While RAG-based search engines can help summarize someone's online presence, they have significant limitations. When multiple people share the same name, these engines often mix their information together, creating inaccurate profiles. Even worse, if someone shares a name with a celebrity or public figure, meaningful research becomes nearly impossible as the well-known person's results overshadow everything else.
The Solution: Introthem solves this using facial recognition to accurately classify and organize information by individual. Simply select the specific person you're interested in, and our engine will generate a comprehensive profile.
But that's not all – remember how we typically perform multiple queries to look up someone? For example, if a person founded a company, we then look up how that company is doing. Introthem handles this in-depth research automatically. It generates additional queries based on the first summary the engine produces – what I internally call Content-aware query generation. This helps you conduct thorough research about someone just by their name.

I will contact my lawyer and double check this.
Clearview vs Introthem:
- Clearview does photo-to-photo matching. We don't do that, and I don't think I will ever build that.
- You have to provide the name, then we build the faces collection for analyzing at search time and delete it.
- We don't retain any face collection once the search is done.
I still don't know if I am breaking any laws, but here is how Introthem works.
Personally identifiable data is just a mouthful, which is why people like to misleadingly shorten it to private data.
