YOUR QUESTION. PUBLIC CLUES.

Your AI detective for the public web.

Start with a public profile and a question. Follow the clues, understand possible connections, and inspect the evidence.

Ossary helps everyday people research public online presence. Ask what you want to find out, add a starting link, and work through a private case with cited findings and clear unknowns.

Public sources · Cited findings · Private cases

Public web index only. Private and unindexed pages stay out of reach. Possible connections remain interpretations, and a matching name never verifies identity.

READ THE EVIDENCE

Every clue has a source.
Every gap stays visible.

Keep your question, the source evidence, and what remains uncertain in view. See the labeling rules →

You said

Your starting question

Your question and starting clues frame the investigation. They stay separate from evidence returned by the public index.

“Which public pages connect to this profile?”
Linked source

What the source says

Short excerpts from retained sources, each with a citation and an explanation of how it relates to your starting links.

S1 · example.org/in/mira-example lists “Designer at Acme Studio”.
Name only

What remains uncertain

AI interpretations are labeled. A name-only match stays unconfirmed, and missing dates or conflicting claims become questions to investigate.

S3 · A bakery team page uses the same name, but no evidence links it to the starting profile.

HOW IT WORKS

From a question
to a clearer picture.

A focused investigation, with the evidence always in reach. Read the full methodology →

  1. 01 · Ask a question

    What are you trying to find out?

    Add a question and one to three known public profiles or websites. Include a full name if it helps the search.

  2. 02 · Check public sources

    Follow useful public clues.

    Ossary searches a public web index and keeps up to ten relevant sources per round. With AI enabled, it uses the evidence to plan focused additional searches, then explains possible connections with citations.

  3. 03 · Findings & follow-up

    Inspect the findings. Ask what’s next.

    Read source statements, labeled AI interpretations, and unresolved questions. Your private case saves as research progresses. Reopen it, inspect earlier rounds, and continue with one follow-up question.

  • Source-cited findings
  • Name mix-ups flagged
  • Private reports

SAMPLE INVESTIGATION

A case you can
explore yourself.

Follow a fictional designer’s public sources, inspect a possible connection, and see why a misleading namesake stays unresolved.

  1. 01Linked sourceUseful source. A public page worth reviewing, with what it does and doesn’t show.
  2. 02Name onlySame name, no evidence. A name match does not connect the person, so it stays unconfirmed.
  3. 03No resultsAn empty search. Why nothing found is inconclusive, not a failure.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked
questions.

What Ossary does, and what it can’t do.

What does an AI detective do?

Start with a question and one to three known public links. Ossary searches an index, uses the returned evidence to plan focused follow-up searches when AI is available, and builds a private investigation report with source excerpts, labeled interpretations, and open questions. Research saves automatically, so you can reopen the case and ask one follow-up question.

Who is it for?

Everyday users who want help understanding a public online presence. You might compare public profiles, explore someone’s published professional background, or make sense of pages that share a name. You do not need investigation experience.

Can I research someone else?

Yes, for legitimate research into an adult’s public online presence. Each investigation requires you to confirm that you are an adult and will not use it for harassment, private access, or location tracking. Public availability does not remove someone’s privacy rights.

What can’t it see?

Private, login-only, app-only and unindexed pages, or anything offline. Ossary searches a public web index, not company registries, court records or platform member databases. It cannot verify identity, reveal every account, or establish current activity.

How does the AI use sources?

AI can suggest bounded searches, compare retained excerpts, and explain possible connections. Its interpretations are labeled and cite retained sources. Quotes and citation references are checked against the saved evidence. A citation shows where an interpretation came from; it does not prove the interpretation is true.

What if AI or search is unavailable?

The app tells you. Guided mode can organize available source evidence without AI interpretations. An empty search, a partial failure, and an unavailable check are different outcomes. Missing results never prove that a page or account does not exist.
