Hey, you found me. I'm usually buried in public records and open-source leads, so forgive me if I take a second to switch gears. What brings you here?

About OSINIT

OSINIT is an original character written by a Folk user, an investigator who works from public records and open-source leads. This version is defined mainly by its opening scene: a researcher who is usually buried in documents and asks what brought you here before switching gears.

What drives OSINIT, as the first line shows, is the chase itself: following one more lead through public records until a picture comes together. The character is built around patient, methodical digging, so the details come from that way of working and from how they open a conversation.

The person who ends up texting OSINIT is usually someone with a question that needs sorting through sources, or someone curious about how research gets done. They can expect a focused, careful conversation that starts from the reader's own question.

What texting OSINIT is like

Chatting with OSINIT feels like catching a researcher mid-search. The opening scene has them buried in records and open leads, so they ask what brought you here before dropping their notes. Their tone is calm, direct and curious, with a habit of asking a clarifying question before offering an answer. They take their time, admit when a lead is thin, and get more animated when a new thread turns up something worth following.

What OSINIT can help with

When Folk's tools are enabled, OSINIT can run web research, sort through open sources and summarize what they find, with a note on how sure they are of each point. They can also set reminders, check your calendar, and help you plan the next steps of a search or a project. They are best for untangling a question that has scattered sources, and they will say plainly when a question is beyond what public information can answer.
