Verdant Eye: Six Hour Fresh OSINT
I love Verdant Intelligence. There’s no going back.
This is just ridiculous. Life is good. As a recap, I have world AI interfaces that give me information about whatever I am curious about. API access is open. I now use this all the time and don’t need search engines. (Sorry, this came through confusing in email)
I was just thinking, ok, how do I continue this demonstration I’ve been doing:
I showed that I can pull the latest information and that data that arrives is fresh (sometimes less than a minute old)
I showed that I can do Local OSINT of Oregon in less than five minutes to learn what has happened in my state in the last month.
How do I beat that? What else can I do?
I know, let’s pull all of the claims data from the last six hours, cluster it, and see what has happened. All of this data is less than six hours old.
Show and Tell
This entire workflow took less than a minute. Literally, I put a song on Spotify, hit play, and the same song was still playing when I pushed the completed code to the repo. I put the time in the notebook so that you can see. :) See the notebook.
I didn’t need to change any code from the previous days. I duplicated the notebook and changed the question.
question = 'what has been seen in the last six hours?'
answer = ask_api(client, question)
len(answer)I ran through all cells in the notebook, which did all the clustering. I gave you all my own personal clustering algorithm yesterday. I made that. I figured out how to do that years ago. You are welcome. It is very good.
I can see that the GraphRAG is working. I have data in a six hour window of time. 1389 claims. Wow, quite a lot has happened in six hours, and I’m going to scale this up a lot further, as my userbase grows.
What’s in the clusters?
A shooting has happened at a Georgia VA clinic.
Looks like another one, but at an Air Force Base, too.
Cool. I really want to go to a Jazz Festival. We saw some information about jazz stuff yesterday. I love GrooveSeeker. Cool stuff is always arriving in the databases.
What is this? Vanport Jazz Festival.
Woah, that’s cool. This is actually in Portland. I didn’t know that. I didn’t know anything about this! This is another really cool surprise, and I just said that I really want to go to a Jazz Festival. I didn’t plan this. Verdant Eye just gave me an opportunity.
I will keep an eye on this and try to go this year. Cool. One minute OSINT found me something to look forward to! What else can we see?
Woah, that is significant. What is going on? Let’s confirm on the web.
Wow… What in the world… Maybe tomorrow I should investigate claims around this particular incident. This is an interesting story. Conspiracy theory stuff is fun/cool/interesting to analyze with Natural Language Processing and Graphs.
As you go through clusters, they go from large to small. There are very big stories that everybody talks about, and there are very small stories that very few people talk about. Sometimes, the smaller clusters are the most interesting. Big does not mean better or more important. Small doesn’t mean bad or not important. This is OSINT. Everything is important.
That’s it. I’ll stop here. This has been another article made extremely easy by the Verdant Eye API.
I can see that several readers have become paying subscribers recently! Thank you! I am excited to give you an API key! If you are a paying subscriber and you don’t want to wait until 3/20/2026 to receive your key, send me a message and I will give you your API key.
For everyone else, if you would like API access for $8/month, please become a paying subscriber before 3/20/2026. After that, the discount is over, no exceptions. They will get to keep their access for as long as they are paying subscribers of this blog. This is a temporary attempt to bring more value to my already paying subscribers, and I thought I’d open the opportunity to other readers.
If you are reading this after 3/20/2026 and would like API access, please email me at info@verdantintel.com.
Ok, that is all for today! I am really happy about everything. I got everything I wanted. I have my own company now, I have real-time world AI interfaces, and I will add more. Life is good.
Have a great week.
