# OWASP SocialOSINTAgent **Entity class:** System, platform, or program **Domain:** Agentic Software ## Definition Autonomous text-and-vision research agent described as collecting activity across public platforms and answering investigative queries. Its workflow connects cross-platform persona analysis, timing, and relationship mapping. ## 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/Text-and-Vision Autonomous Investigation|Text-and-Vision Autonomous Investigation]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Cross-Platform Persona Analysis|Cross-Platform Persona Analysis]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Relationship Mapping|Relationship Mapping]]. - **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.
