Understanding AI Insights
FEATURE AVAILABLE ON INVESTIGATIONS PRO LICENSE ONLY
🤖 Overview
SpyCloud’s AI Insights feature transforms raw search and pivot data into an automatically generated findings report. It highlights key patterns, relationships, and behavioral signals — helping investigators move from data collection to actionable conclusions faster.
The report type is called Identity Findings, which specializes in related assets such as:
- Emails
- Usernames
- Phone numbers
This feature does not support domain-based queries.
🧭 Navigation
When working within the Investigations module, AI Insights is accessible as the right-most tab on the investigation workspace.

✅ Best Practices for Using AI Insights
🟢 Before an Investigation
Run an initial Insights report immediately after your first search to immediately understand:
- Identity clusters
- Digital footpring
- Breach exposure
This early pass helps prioritize which selectors deserve deeper investigation.
🔁 During an Investigation
Use the Insights report in parallel with Graph and Results tabs to validate or refute assumptions.
Best practices:
- Regenerate the report after meaningful pivots or data expansions
- Use identity summaries to guide additional searches
- Look for unexpected malware infections or cross-selector relationships
- Use the Appendix section to extract infrastructure clues (IPs, visited URLs)
🧾 After an Investigation
Generate a final Insights report to serve as:
- A summary for reporting or internal handoff
- An attachment in case notes or investigation records
- A snapshot for regulatory compliance or SOC documentation
Export options:
- PDF (for reporting)
- Markdown (for internal documentation)
Consider saving this alongside your CSV export for a complete audit trail.
