My OSINT Training (MOT)

AI is reshaping open-source intelligence, but for many analysts it still feels abstract, overhyped, or intimidating. Introduction to AI and OSINT cuts through the noise and gives you practical, hands-on skills you can immediately apply in real investigations.

You’ll learn how to use AI effectively in the intelligence cycle - from planning an investigation, to collecting and structuring data, to analyzing patterns. You’ll also explore how AI can help you create custom OSINT tools, support workflows like bookmarklets, and even generate or manipulate images responsibly.

This course makes AI approachable, accessible, and directly relevant to your work as an OSINT analyst.

Key learning objectives

• Understand what AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are and how they work

• Learn the fundamentals of prompt engineering to get useful results

• Apply AI to each stage of the intelligence cycle: planning, collection, and analysis

• Explore real-world case studies using real online targets to see AI in action

• Identify common pitfalls and red flags when using AI in OSINT work

• Discover how AI can help create, explain, and customize small tools like bookmarklets

• Experiment with AI-powered image generation and manipulation

At the end of the course, you will

• Be able to confidently use AI and LLMs in your OSINT work

• Know how to design prompts that generate structured, reliable outputs

• Have practical experience applying AI in the planning, collection, and analysis phases

• Walk away with custom bookmarklets you’ve built or adapted using AI assistance

• Understand both the potential and the limits of AI in investigations

• Leave with exercises and examples you can apply and expand on immediately
