MiSpy.ai Opens the Door to Licensed Private Investigators for Everyday People

DETROIT, MI / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / MiSpy.ai, an on-demand marketplace that connects people with verified, licensed private investigators for scoped, prepaid work, today announced that its first missions open in Michigan in Q4 2026. The waitlist is open at mispy.ai for clients and licensed investigators anywhere in the U.S.

"Millions of people are dealing with something right now and don't know a licensed investigator could help them. The ones who do know mostly can't buy it. We built MiSpy.ai so they can," says Ryan Boylan, Founder & CEO of MiSpy.ai.

Hiring a private investigator without the retainer

Somewhere in Michigan tonight, someone is deciding whether to meet Tuesday's match, and someone else hasn't heard from their mother in four days. Neither one is paranoid. They're dealing with something, and until now the path to hiring a private investigator ran through a retainer and an hourly rate nobody could predict.

MiSpy opens in Michigan with seven private investigation services, from Missing Pet to Business Deal Check, each sold as a Quick Hit, Focused Fieldwork or Full Investigation with fixed hours, so the price shown at booking is the price paid, from $115 to $335 depending on the service. A client answers the intake questions themselves or lets Pie, MiSpy's AI, walk them through, and the request becomes a Mission with a price attached. The Mission price is held, not charged, while a person reads it.

A person reads every private investigation request

A person at MiSpy reads it next, before any investigator does, and some requests get a question back or a no with a reason. Anything built to get around a court order, reach someone who cut off contact or find a person's live location doesn't get through, and neither does anything meant to feed a hiring, housing or credit decision. Stalking, harassment and doxxing never get in the door. A question doesn't become a Mission because someone's willing to pay for it.

Every investigator on MiSpy, called a Ghost, holds an active license in their own name, checked with bond or insurance for the state where they work, because the rules change at the state line.

"Every request gets read by a person before any investigator sees it. We know weird people are going to try weird things. Just know we won't let you," Boylan says.

Licensed private investigators get the work, and the AI gets the paperwork

The loudest AI story of the year is about work disappearing. MiSpy's is about work showing up. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 projects 170 million roles created and 92 million displaced by 2030, and MiSpy sits on the creation side of that line, in a profession the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts at about 39,500 people, with 5% growth projected from 2025 to 2035.

For Ghosts, work arrives screened, scoped and already paid for. They see the scope, the hours and their pay before they say yes, they can pass on anything, and nobody tells them how to investigate. Membership is free. Pie makes intake cleaner and the write-up faster, and the fieldwork and the conclusion stay with the licensed human, because that's where the value is and where the law puts the responsibility.

Every Mission ends with a Debrief that says what the investigator thinks, how sure they are and why. If nothing could be confirmed, that's still a complete Mission, with the next step written down. MiSpy runs no ads and doesn't sell user data. It makes money when a client pays for a scoped answer and a professional takes a scoped job.

Private investigators for law firms and PI agencies in early 2027

MiBusiness Accounts open in early 2027, and that's where the trade comes in. A PI agency with a full bench books overflow the way a client books a Mission, sets the scope, approves the investigator and gets the report back with the sources checked. A law firm gets a Michigan fact its usual investigator can't reach in time, a PO or matter number rides on every file, and accounts are free to open with no booking fee.

"I came up in freight brokerage. Customers called us because of the carrier network behind us, and that broker layer turned a fragmented, national business into something you could buy in one phone call. Private investigation never had a layer like that. Now it does, and it's built around the people licensed to do the work," Boylan says.
