OSINT Research

Public-Source Research Your Reader Can Verify.

Markets, competitors, contested numbers: ask the question and @vustSearchBot synthesizes an answer from the live public web with numbered, openable sources. Escalate through Research and the agent-driven Deep Report, and cross-check high-stakes claims across three models. Public data only — this is a research aid, not surveillance tooling.

Honest scope

The research half of OSINT — without the tradecraft half

The tool synthesizes over the live public web and always shows its sources. What it doesn't have and won't: breach-database lookups, photo geolocation, face search, social-graph mapping or any people-search features. If information isn't publicly indexed, it isn't here — and the answer won't pretend it is.

See the difference

Three research questions — and what comes back for each.

Competitor footprint brief

Your question

"What has [competitor] publicly shipped and priced in the last year — and what did coverage say about adoption?"

What comes back

A synthesized brief drawn from their announcements, pricing pages, press coverage and public filings — each claim carrying a numbered, openable link. The Research tier widens it with multi-angle sub-searches; sources come with domains and snippets so you can vet before you cite.

Market-size sanity check

Your question

"Roughly how big is the [niche] market, and whose estimates disagree?"

What comes back

The public estimates that exist, who published each, and where they diverge — stated as a spread with sources, not one confident number. If sources disagree on a key figure, the answer says so instead of papering over it.

The claim you can't afford to get wrong

Your finding

A single striking stat that's about to anchor your deck's argument.

The cross-check

Run it past the Council of Sages in @vustbot: Claude, Grok and Gemini answer independently, and an arbiter names where they disagree. Three models agreeing doesn't make a claim true — but three models disagreeing is a flag worth seeing before your audience finds it.

02·Practical use cases

Public-source research with citations — market, competitor, claim

Market researchers

Size a niche or map who competes in it before committing budget

Ask in plain language and get a synthesized answer with numbered, openable source links — press releases, filings, coverage — so every number in your brief has an origin you can show.

Competitive analysts

Track what a competitor shipped, priced or announced from their public footprint

The Research tier runs a wider multi-angle search with a dedicated source display; the Deep Report tier sends an agent to browse, follow leads and compile a structured report.

Claim verifiers

A stat is about to go into your deck and being wrong is expensive

Cross-check it with the Council of Sages — Claude, Grok and Gemini answer independently and an arbiter names the disagreements — before the claim becomes yours.

03·How it works

The OSINT-style workflow, step by step

01Ask the research question

"Who are the main players in X and how do they price?" — @vustSearchBot synthesizes an answer from live public web sources with numbered citations you can open.

02Go deeper where it matters

Escalate to Research (multi-angle sub-searches, source snippets) or the Pro-tier Deep Report — an agent that browses pages, follows leads and returns a structured report with a full source list.

03Cross-check before you commit

Contested or high-stakes findings go to the Council of Sages in @vustbot: three independent models plus an arbiter that surfaces where they disagree, instead of one model grading itself.

05·Quality & trust

Honest scope — research aid, not surveillance tooling

Public sources only, and only what search reaches

Answers synthesize from the live public web — no scraping behind logins, no data brokers, no dark-web access, no historical archives beyond what public pages state. If the information isn't publicly indexed, this tool won't have it, and the answer won't pretend otherwise.

Not a people-tracking tool

This is for market, competitor and claim research. It is not built for locating, profiling or de-anonymizing individuals — requests in that direction are the wrong use of the tool, and classic OSINT tradecraft (breach lookups, image geolocation, social-graph mapping) is simply not what it does.

Citations are the product

Every answer carries openable source links; the deeper tiers show domains and snippets. Findings you can't trace to a source you can open shouldn't go in your report — and here they don't have to.
