Sherlocka is the official entry point to the Sherlock search bot on Telegram, helping users access the service through a current link rather than unofficial addresses. No separate app or program download is required; searches and results are handled in a Telegram conversation. The bot can search using a phone number, username, full name, photograph, vehicle details, or email address, then organize available matches into a structured report.

Reports may include general information, associated contacts, profiles, public mentions and publications, source dates, and an indication of match strength. Sherlocka says it works with accessible, open sources and does not provide access to closed databases. Image matches require manual review, and results do not automatically establish a person’s identity.

The service is intended to support checking publicly available information, with users advised to compare multiple identifiers and verify sources and dates. Starting the bot is free, while any trial-access terms and the cost of a full report are displayed in Telegram before confirmation
