Mercury: Global AI driven geospatial Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)

Mercury is a flexible, high volume system that collects, enriches and organises open source information from across the world. It is designed for people who need to stay ahead of rapidly developing events, whether preparing for travel, monitoring reputational risk, tracking industry trends, or receiving contextual briefings before key decisions.

What the Platform Does

• Collects material from a broad range of open sources including global news, social media, online publications, forums, research repositories and specialist reporting
• Highlights emerging themes such as geopolitical shifts, economic signals, community sentiment, supply chain disruption, public safety issues and market relevant discussion
• Processes data continuously at scale to support real time situational awareness rather than traditional, static news summaries
• Analyses content in many languages so important information is not missed due to regional coverage or local reporting differences

How AI Enhances Insight

We use advanced Natural Language Processing to interpret unstructured text and surface information that matters. Key capabilities include:

• Identifying relevant people, organisations, locations and topics
• Detecting sentiment, tone and indicators of escalation
• Recognising spelling variations, aliases and informal references
• Extracting geographic detail and resolving ambiguous place names to assign accurate coordinates
• Creating geo aware tags that make activity easy to investigate and brief on

This converts raw information into structured, searchable and decision ready insight.

Interfaces Designed for Briefing, Planning and Monitoring

The platform supports different working styles by providing flexible ways to access material:

• Executive dashboards for quick situational awareness
• Briefing and reporting tools for chiefs of staff, advisers and those preparing travel files or event notes
• Automated daily digests highlighting new developments, conversations, risks or opportunities
• Topic and entity tracking to follow organisations, policy areas, individuals or ongoing issues
• Interactive maps to reveal geographic patterns and relevance to specific locations
• Tabular and export friendly views for those who prefer structured formats

  • GLOBAL OPEN-SOURCE DATA COLLECTION

    Mercury aggregated data from news reports, social media, government sources and open-source intelligence, ensuring broad coverage and reducing reliance on any single reporting channel.

  • AI-POWERED INFORMATION EXTRACTION

    Automated processing provides document classification and extraction of key details (location, people, organisations), making cross-source comparisons more reliable.

  • GEOSPATIAL METADATA INTEGRATION

    Documents are linked to precise location data, allowing analysts to track regional trends, identify trending areas and correlate documents with other spatially relevant data.

  • AUTOMATED TRANSLATION

    Mercury’s ability to translate multilingual reports and extract location data allowed for a broader and more accurate collection of data from diverse sources.

  • ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

    The ability to process and visualise OSINT data in real time enables better assessment and response planning. By structuring data at scale, Mercury supports analysts in monitoring evolving events, identifying trending areas and deploying resources more effectively.

Why Mercury?

Mercury is a powerful open-source intelligence (OSINT) system designed to track and analyse global events by aggregating data from diverse sources, including news reports, social media, government releases and open-source intelligence. It provides comprehensive geospatial intelligence by linking incidents to precise locations, enabling users to identify trends, assess risks and correlate events with key infrastructure. Its AI-driven analysis extracts crucial details, ensuring accurate and consistent data processing, while automated translation and geo-referencing expand coverage across multilingual sources. Mercury offers real-time situational awareness, allowing users to monitor evolving developments, recognise patterns and make informed decisions. Its scalable and structured approach ensures reliable intelligence gathering, making it a valuable tool for organisations that require efficient data-driven insights for strategic planning and risk management.
