Introducing the AI Thread Assistant

It’s been a little over six months since we released our AI Research Assistant, and in that time, it’s answered over 1,780 complex dark, deep, and clear web queries – enabling cyber investigators to reclaim valuable time that was historically spent scouring forums, marketplaces, and encrypted chats, to piece together information on an actor.

Following up on this strong uptake, we wanted to help more investigators save time. That’s why we’ve made the AI Research Assistant available directly within the forum thread view, ensuring analysts can unlock additional context and accelerate their threat assessment without ever leaving their central point of investigation.

Key benefits:

• Surface organization and operation-related intelligence faster
• Connect complex evidence automatically across the thread they are viewing
• Empower analysts of all levels with natural language search

How it works

Within the forum view, Searchlighters can now ask questions about the thread they are viewing by opening the AI Thread Assistant. The research assistant will automatically query all data related to the specific thread to surface additional information relevant to your investigation.

This is what sets the research assistant apart: Unlike AI tools like ChatGPT or internal LLMs, which lack domain expertise and are reliant on archived data, Searchlight’s AI Research Assistant enables you to securely surface information on emerging threats in real time within an approved, trusted platform.
