Blackdot’s mission is to empower investigators to use open-source intelligence (OSINT) for good, providing cutting-edge software to combat criminal activity effectively.

In this episode, Stuart and John explore the transformative role of generative AI in business intelligence and decision-making. They discuss how Blackdot leverages AI to unlock insights from open-source data, delivering tangible impact across investigative and compliance sectors.
