# Agentic OSINT **Entity class:** Concept or operational method **Domain:** Agentic Software ## Definition Agents plan, decompose, execute, and adapt open-source investigations across multiple tools. Continuous collection and analysis combine analyst intent with repeatable computational workflows. ## Operational role Agentic software turns research methods into loops that plan, collect, compare, revise, and report. Visual analysis, browser orchestration, memory, query evolution, and connected databases supply different implementation layers. The article follows the builders and systems through which civilians can develop useful intelligence work at machine speed. **Architecture connections:** [[wiki/OSINT|OSINT]] · [[wiki/AI Agent|AI Agent]] · [[wiki/Cyber Threat Intelligence|Cyber Threat Intelligence]]. ## Relationships - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/AI Agent|AI Agent]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Persistent AI Investigator|Persistent AI Investigator]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/OSINT|OSINT]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]]. - **counterterrorism architecture:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. - **source article:** [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft|The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#XII.
