# SitDeck — Open-Source Intelligence Dashboard > The world's largest open-source intelligence dashboard. Monitor conflicts, earthquakes, markets, and threats in real-time. ## About SitDeck is a web-based OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) dashboard built by Situation Deck LLC. It aggregates 184 live data providers into a single customizable workspace with 55 drag-and-drop widgets, an interactive map with 66 overlay layers and 12 base map types, AI-powered analysis, and real-time alerting. The platform is designed for hobbyists, researchers, journalists, and analysts who need situational awareness without infrastructure overhead. Free to use — no API keys, no servers, no infrastructure required. Just open a browser and start monitoring. ## Platform Capabilities ### AI Analyst Chat Ask questions in plain English across all live data feeds and get sourced, cross-referenced intelligence answers. The AI has access to every data provider in real-time and can correlate events across sources (e.g., "Are there any earthquakes near active nuclear reactors right now?" or "Summarize military activity in the South China Sea this week"). Included on all plans. - Natural language queries across all 184 data sources - Automated cross-source correlation and anomaly detection - Contextual reasoning over live, real-time feeds - Source citations with links to original data - Available on all plans: Hobbyist (5/month), Enthusiast (20/month), Analyst (50/month), Strategist (200/month) ### Custom Alerts Describe what you want to monitor in plain English — no programming required. The alert engine handles real-time threshold detection and instant notifications. - Plain English alert rules (e.g., "Earthquake > 6.0 within 200km of a nuclear facility", "New UNSC sanctions against [country]", "Carrier strike group enters [region]") - Delivery methods: Email (all plans), Webhook (Analyst+), In-app notifications (all plans) - Alert frequency by tier: Daily (Hobbyist), Hourly (Enthusiast), Real-Time (Analyst+) - Available on all plans: Hobbyist (3 alerts), Enthusiast (15), Analyst (50), Strategist (Unlimited) ### Daily Intelligence Briefing AI-generated morning briefing delivered to your dashboard. Covers approximately 15 data sources and synthesizes overnight developments across global security, financial markets, humanitarian crises, cyber threats, and climate events. - Available on all plans at no extra cost - Shared briefing generated from broad situational awareness - Covers: Global Security, Markets & Economics, Humanitarian, Cyber & Infrastructure, Climate & Environment ### Situation Reports Multi-pass AI intelligence reports that go deeper than the daily briefing. The AI performs three phases: (1) scan all relevant sources, (2) drill down into the most significant findings, and (3) assemble a structured report with analysis and recommendations. - Enthusiast: 3 reports/month, 2 drill-down areas per report - Analyst: 10 reports/month, 5 drill-down areas per report - Strategist: Unlimited reports/month, 10 drill-down areas per report - Reports can be delivered via email ### Area Reports Deep-dive intelligence briefings for a specific geographic region. Highlight any area on the interactive map, then generate a comprehensive Area Report powered by multiple AI passes and extensive additional data — historical events, demographic context, infrastructure maps, threat assessments, and more. Each report combines real-time feeds with enriched background data to produce a structured intelligence product you can save, export, or share. Premium feature available on paid plans. ### Social Media OSINT Curated intelligence from X (Twitter) via the official API. SitDeck does not scrape or use firehose access — it tracks a curated list of reliable, vetted accounts across several categories: - Verified OSINT analysts and researchers (e.g., conflict trackers, flight trackers, maritime analysts) - Official government and military accounts (defense ministries, embassies, state departments) - Trusted media outlets and wire services (Reuters, AP, BBC, etc.) - AI-filtered signal extraction removes spam, bots, and noise - Updates every 15 minutes ### Data Export Export intelligence data as CSV files for offline analysis, reporting, or integration with other tools. - Available on Analyst ($19.97/month) and Strategist ($39.97/month) plans only ### Webhook Alerts Programmatic alert delivery for integration with Slack, Discord, custom dashboards, or automation pipelines. - Available on Analyst ($19.97/month) and Strategist ($39.97/month) plans only ### Cinema Mode A live spinning 3D globe that streams global events in real-time, pinned to their exact coordinates. Customize which data feeds appear — conflicts, earthquakes, satellite fires, protests, aviation, maritime, and more. Free on all plans. - Live spinning 3D globe with events streaming to exact coordinates - Fully customizable data feeds — choose which events appear - Optional audio alerts when new events arrive - Automatic satellite imagery pulls for events on the globe - Local webcam feeds from locations near events - Map triangulation — cross-reference with nearby intelligence layers - Temporal filtering — scrub the timeline down to the last hour - Works on mobile, desktop, and TV (wall-screen ready) - Free on all plans including Hobbyist ### Nexus Explorer An ontological intelligence timeline that traces cascading cause-and-effect chains from any seed event. Drop any event and Nexus extracts every entity (people, places, organizations, assets), then expands across SitDeck's entire data lake to map connections. - Ontological expansion — automatic entity extraction and cross-source matching - Cascading timeline — trace events backward to root causes or forward to consequences - Geographic correlation — identify spatial clusters and proximity patterns - Actor networks — map relationships between people and organizations across events - Topical threading — connect thematically related events across different sources - Temporal cascading — weight recency and sequence for narrative coherence - RAG-powered intelligence — retrieval-augmented generation across the full data lake - AI Nexus Reports — generate structured intelligence reports from any point in the graph - Available on Enthusiast ($9.97/mo), Analyst ($19.97/mo), and Strategist ($39.97/mo) plans ## Widgets (65 total, 18 categories) Drag-and-drop widgets that can be resized and arranged into unlimited saved layouts.
