🚨 OSINT Prompt: Automate 99% of Your Intelligence Gathering with ChatGPT or Google Gemini 🌐🕵️‍♀️

🚨 OSINT Prompt: Automate 99% of Your Intelligence Gathering with ChatGPT or Google Gemini 🌐🕵️‍♀️

Here's a secret method to run fully automated OSINT investigations using AI—no coding, no fluff. Just precision.

✅ Step 1: Frame Your Request in LaTeX

Ask ChatGPT or Gemini (with Deep Research enabled) for an OSINT investigation report on your subject formatted in LaTeX. LaTeX is a document preparation system that creates professional, structured, and easily citable reports.

Try a prompt like this:

"Give me an OSINT investigation report on (the Skull and Bones secret society at Yale University) in LaTeX."

✅ Step 2: Generate the Report

Watch as the AI generates a structured, detailed, and citable report, often in just a few minutes. The LaTeX format ensures the output is organized with proper sections, citations, and a professional layout.

Example result: View a shared ChatGPT conversation demonstrating this

✅ Step 3: Compile and Finalize

Paste the LaTeX code generated by the AI into an online LaTeX editor like Overleaf.com. Compile the code to produce a polished PDF. From there, you can proofread, validate the information, and share your results as you see fit.

I suggest admitting AI use on the cover of your AI-generated documents, including the specific AI model used.

🧠 Why This Works

ChatGPT and Gemini both have strong grounding in global OSINT methods, supported by frameworks used by intelligence agencies like the CIA, CSIS, MI6, DGSE, BND, and NATO. They can pull and structure public domain intelligence with exceptional clarity and ethical accuracy.

📘 Glossary: What is OSINT?

OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence—the collection and analysis of publicly available data to produce actionable insights. It's a discipline used globally by governments, journalists, watchdogs, activists, and now—you.

Is OSINT Legal? Yes, When Done Right.

OSINT is often called "legal espionage" because it involves gathering and analyzing publicly available information in ways that resemble traditional intelligence work, but without breaking any laws.

✅ Why OSINT is Legal:

• Public Sources Only: OSINT relies on information already in the public domain—news articles, public records, social media posts, government websites, and academic papers.
• No Hacking or Unauthorized Access: Unlike traditional espionage or cyber-intrusion, OSINT does not involve breaking into private systems or using illicit methods.
• Used by Governments: OSINT is an official intelligence discipline used by the CIA, CSIS, MI6, NATO, UN investigators, and law enforcement worldwide.
• Protected Speech: In democratic nations, it is protected under free speech laws when used for journalism, research, transparency, and activism.

⚠️ Key Legal Boundaries:

• No doxxing (publishing private information like home addresses or social security numbers with malicious intent).
• No impersonation (pretending to be someone else to get access).
• No harassment or incitement.
• Always cite sources when sharing information to protect against defamation or misinformation claims.

🧠 Think of it as:

Journalism + Research + Analysis = OSINT

But for the 21st century—powered by AI. This is legal and ethical espionage on full automatic.

✅ OSINT Best Practices Guide (2025 Edition)

(ChatGPT and Gemini already know this)

1. Sources: Stick to the Public Domain

• ✅ News outlets, academic publications, press releases
• ✅ Government records and databases (e.g., court dockets, SEC filings)
• ✅ Public social media posts (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook if public)
• ✅ Company websites, blogs, and job postings
• ✅ WHOIS records, public DNS data, SSL certificates

2. Don't Do This:

• ❌ No hacking, phishing, or breaching systems
• ❌ No accessing private emails, databases, or passwords
• ❌ No installing malware, tracking devices, or surveillance tech
• ❌ No impersonation or fake identities (unless legally permitted, e.g., penetration testing with permission)

3. Ethical OSINT = Respect for Privacy

• Mask personal information (e.g., home address, phone number) unless it's crucial, verifiable, and legally justifiable (e.g., identifying public corruption).
• Don't target minors, vulnerable persons, or protected identities.
• Avoid sensationalism—stick to the facts, cited clearly.

4. Cite Everything

• Use footnotes, LaTeX citations, or inline links.
• Prefer direct URLs over paraphrasing.
• Use tools like Zotero or LaTeX's \bibliography{} to auto-format.

5. Maintain Metadata

• Record when and where you accessed the source.
• Screenshots should include URLs and timestamps.
• Save PDFs or archive links using archive.org or archive.today.

6. AI-Specific Rules

• Always label reports as "AI-assisted" or "AI-generated."
• Human review is essential—AI can hallucinate or misattribute.
• Cross-check between ChatGPT and Google Gemini for consistency.

📡 What Can ChatGPT + Gemini Actually Detect?

A note from Marie Seshat Landry, CEO, OSINT Spymaster

Hey folks, I build AI-powered OSINT and peacekeeping tools. Here's a long-form list of the kinds of things that ChatGPT and Gemini can detect with very high precision when you know what to look for. These detection types are especially useful for civil society, journalism, legal research, and activist work.

This isn't speculative—I've personally used this framework to generate detailed OSINT reports (in LaTeX or PDF) using AI with Deep Research enabled.

🛑 LEGAL + ETHICAL = POWERFUL

Here's what AI can help you spy, flag, and document from publicly available data:

🔥 Violent or Extremist Rhetoric

• Incitement to violence or armed rebellion
• Terrorist sympathies, coded threats
• Genocide rhetoric ("cleansing," "purge," "final solution")
• Combat metaphors used in politics ("annihilate," "target")
• Glorification of war or domestic terrorism (QAnon, Boogaloo, etc.)

🧠 Psychological Manipulation / PSYOP Tactics

• Misinformation vs. disinformation (AI can now tell the difference)
• Mass gaslighting and perception warfare
• Fear-based framing and enemy construction
• Doublespeak or contradiction loops (classic propaganda)

🧬 Dehumanization & Symbolic Violence

• Animalization: calling people rats, pigs, insects
• Objectification: stripping identity or autonomy
• Disease metaphors (e.g., "parasites," "plague on society")
• Historical genocide codewords

💬 Hate Speech & Identity-Based Attacks

• Racism (overt or coded)
• Antisemitism (blood libel, Holocaust denial, "globalist" dogwhistles)
• Islamophobia / Anti-Muslim hate
• Anti-Black and Anti-Asian hate
• Anti-Indigenous narratives ("savage," "uncivilized")
• Transphobia (misgendering, invalidation)
• Homophobia, biphobia, queer erasure
• Misogyny / sexism
• Ableism
• Ageism

🏛️ Dictatorship & Authoritarian Language

• "Supreme leader," "eternal rule," and fascist language
• Martial law cheerleading, anti-democracy slogans
• Propaganda attacking civil society, press, or elections
• Mass surveillance normalization

🧩 Dogwhistles & Coded Hate

• 1488, 14 words, "clown world," "NPC"
• "Red pill," "woke mind virus," "globalist elite"
• Anti-LGBTQ+ coded slurs like "groomer"
• Symbolic emojis to bypass moderation
• QAnon lingo, cultic symbolism

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Anti-Civil Rights Messaging

• Anti-feminist narratives ("femcel," "female privilege")
• Attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, drag bans, "child protection" framing
• Anti-immigrant hate, refugee scapegoating
• Backlash to human rights law or Indigenous sovereignty

🕳️ Conspiracist & Cult Signals

• "Great Reset," "deep state," "false flag"
• Flat Earth, anti-vax, climate denialism
• Sovereign citizen pseudo-legal nonsense
• Pizzagate, New World Order conspiracies

🔓 Doxxing, Surveillance & Exploitation

• Calls for harassment, tracking, or illegal monitoring
• Publishing private data (phones, home addresses)
• AI misuse to attack marginalized people or journalists
• Creeping into "gray hat" behavior—don't do it.

✊ This is how I use AI for peace, not war.

I use these categories to power fully automated OSINT reports—LaTeX-ready, sourced, and 100% legal. Use the same detection stack to flag hateful speech from public figures and generate shareable reports for civil society.

This is how we hold power to account and protect human rights in the AI age.
