Akmann Van-Mary, Founder and CEO of Reclaim, joins AI InterConnect to explore how AI, logistics, and airport innovation could change the way travelers handle luggage.

After nearly 30 years in logistics and previously building RoadSync, Akmann identified a simple but persistent travel problem: luggage can dictate what travelers do before hotel check-in and after checkout. He explains how Reclaim combines secure luggage pickup, tracking, airport integration, and AI-powered logistics to give travelers that time back.

We discuss how AI coordinates Reclaim’s fleet using traffic and weather data, why airports and airlines are critical partners, the complexity of entering new airports, and Akmann’s vision for door-to-door luggage-free travel.

Subscribe to AI InterConnect for conversations with founders building the future of AI, technology, and business.

The description reflects Akmann's stated vision that passengers should ideally think about their luggage only when packing and unpacking.
