Four ways to open a dossier.

Pick the door you like. Browser, editor, terminal or chat — every route runs the same Company Dossier engine and hands you the same complete, sourced file on any company. Free, and built from public sources only.

Web app

The fastest way in. Open a tab, type a company name or paste a domain, and read the finished dossier in your browser — nothing to install.

  • Zero setup — works on any machine
  • Charts, org sketch, map and timeline rendered for you
  • Share or save the file when you're done

VS Code extension

For the people who live in their editor. Run company research from the command palette or ask the @dossier chat participant — the file lands beside your code.

  • Sidebar view + @dossier /research chat
  • Website analysis, Wayback history, DNS recon, tech stack
  • Free and open source on GitHub

CLI / npm

One command, no install. Point the company-dossier CLI at a name or domain and it prints a sourced profile straight to your terminal — perfect for scripts and pipelines.

  • Run it with npx — nothing to install
  • Package name company-dossier on npm
  • Pipe the output anywhere you like

AI apps

Already chatting with an assistant? Pull a dossier without leaving the conversation. There's a ChatGPT app and a Claude app & skill — just name the company.

  • ChatGPT app — ask inside the chat
  • Claude app & skill — research in the flow
  • Same nine-section file, conversational

the short version

Prefer the command line?

Name a company or a domain. That's the whole brief — the same nine sections come back, sourced.

same file, every route

One company profile, four front doors

It doesn't matter whether you open a dossier in the web app, the VS Code extension, the npm CLI, or an AI app — the output is identical: one comprehensive, sourced company profile broken into the same nine sections. Overview & identity, people & org chart, hiring radar, money trail, locations, tech fingerprint, news & timeline, relationship web, and risk flags.

So choose the route by your workflow, not by what you'll get. If you're doing sales research or competitive intelligence in a browser, the web app is the quickest. If you're a developer who wants a VS Code OSINT extension that gathers company research without breaking flow, install the extension. If you script things, the CLI drops a profile straight into your pipeline. And if you'd rather just ask, the ChatGPT and Claude apps research in the conversation.

Whichever you pick, the rules are the same: public sources only, every claim pointed back to where it came from, and nothing the target company has to opt into. A dossier is a fast, honest starting map — built to be verified, not taken on faith.
