Sherlock Bot is a Telegram-based digital search and analysis service that organizes information from publicly accessible sources. It offers tools for examining photographs, phone numbers, vehicle identifiers, and geographic data, with results presented in structured reports and links to sources. Its image-analysis feature uses computer vision to identify visual patterns and search for possible matches, including duplicate images and potentially false profiles. Phone-number searches check public information across messaging platforms, forums, and blacklist sources. Vehicle analysis draws on open registries and specialist forums to compile vehicle histories, while geospatial tools map location activity and connections over selected periods.

The service is presented for use by individuals, journalists, recruiters, legal professionals, and business analysts for tasks such as contact searches, fact-checking, identity verification, due diligence, and research. New users are offered five test queries, and corporate customers can request API access after verification. Sherlock Bot states that it works only with publicly available information and does not provide access to closed databases.
