We’re delighted to announce that the new Videris Investigative Assistant (VIA) is now available.
Designed to help the human investigator pinpoint key insights faster in large, complex OSINT cases, VIA is an AI-enabled chat assistant that analyses case data at speed - and is already transforming investigative productivity and insights.
About the Videris Investigative Assistant
The Videris platform already helps investigators to draw actionable intelligence from publicly and commercially available data at speed. Today, investigators are using the Videris Chart to understand large, complex networks. Existing chart analysis tools let investigators cut through the noise, identifying key relationships and risks within messy, disparate data from multiple sources.
VIA brings these analytical capabilities to a new level. Using your case data, it can answer questions about your investigation in seconds through a simple chat interface, speeding up analysis and providing more insights than ever before.
Built with ethical, considered AI use in mind, VIA is an AI-enabled tool for the security-conscious OSINT investigator. It uses a secure LLM, can access only your investigation data and breaks down the steps it’s taken to answer in a clear, human-readable format.
Why use VIA?
Maximise investigator impact
Blackdot’s approach to AI and automation has long been to enhance, not replace, the investigator. VIA strengthens investigators’ capability by helping them to interpret complex chart data quickly, in the context of their existing deep case knowledge.
Gain instant insights
Manual chart review is now replaced by instant, actionable intelligence. With the power of AI, teams can unearth insights that are hard for humans alone to spot and reduce the risk of missing critical connections.
Get a headstart on reporting
VIA helps generate clear, concise summaries that act as starting points for reports, letting investigators spend more of their time on skilled analysis.
How are investigators using VIA?
VIA expands the analytical capabilities available through the Videris Chart. Examples include:
- Relationship analysis: Asking VIA about the strength of relationships, how x is connected to y, or to identify other trends within networks.
- Advanced data filtering: Asking VIA to count or list entities of a certain type – such as all people in a certain location or all entities connected to x individual.
- Identifying risk indicators: Asking VIA to analyse connections and risk insights to identify indicators of potential risk within a network.
Investigators can also ask VIA to create the basis of an intelligence report or to craft reporting for a particular audience – for example, senior stakeholders or law enforcement.
