How to Verify an Individual's Background with Copilot
Verify an individual's background with Copilot and ToolRouter. OSINT data for compliance tools.
Tool
Copilot pulls background research data from within your IDE for building compliance checks, KYC workflows, or due diligence tooling. Query public records for an individual, extract structured findings, and integrate the results into onboarding or risk-assessment pipelines.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the People Search tool:
- Ask: "Use people-search to research [name] with known employer [company] using deep_search"
- Copilot returns structured public findings
- Ask: "Return as JSON with name, confirmed_facts, inferred_data, sources, and risk_flags"
- Wire the structured output into your compliance or onboarding pipeline
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the People Search tool
Use people-search to research David Okafor, a claimed consultant based in Lagos with experience at McKinsey. Run deep_search and osint_search. Return typed JSON with confirmed_facts, inferred_data, sources, and risk_flags.
Tips
- Define a consistent schema for research output so results are machine-comparable across candidates
- Store source URLs in the output so your compliance team can audit findings later
- Flag records with zero confirmed public presence as requiring manual escalation
