What Iris Does
Open-source intelligence
Gathers OSINT from public sources across the web to answer questions your
internal data can’t.
Reads and summarizes
Extracts and distills the relevant parts of web pages and documents so you
don’t have to.
External context
Pulls in vendor guidance, product details, and current cybersecurity trends to
enrich an analysis.
Stays current
Looks up the latest information from the web rather than relying on a fixed
knowledge cutoff.
Iris vs. Orion
Both agents look outward, but for different jobs:- Iris does general research — the open web, documentation, background, and trends.
- Orion does threat intelligence — IOCs, domain and IP reputation, and breach exposure.
How to Use Iris
Ask in plain language, and@-mention Iris to send research its way:
- “@Iris summarize the latest guidance on this CVE and who’s affected.”
- “What are the current best practices for hardening this software?”
- “Research this vendor and give me a short background.”
Iris gathers external context; the other agents put it to work — for example,
feeding what Iris finds into an analysis by Athena or a report by Scribe.
