Abstract—The rapid expansion of university campuses has led to frequent instances of misplaced personal belongings, creating inconvenience for students and staff. UniFind: Lost and Found Objects Management System for Campus using AI & Cloud Services is designed to provide a smart, efficient, and scalable solution to this challenge. The system leverages artificial intelligence for image recognition and natural language processing to accurately identify, classify, and match lost items with their rightful owners. By integrating with cloud services, UniFind ensures secure data storage, real-time accessibility, and seamless scalability for large user bases. The platform enables users to report lost or found items via a web or mobile interface, where AI-driven matching algorithms automatically suggest potential matches. Notifications and dashboards streamline communication between finders and owners, significantly reducing manual effort and delays. This project demonstrates how the fusion of AI and cloud technology can modernize campus management processes, enhance user convenience, and promote a responsible, collaborative environment within academic institutions.
