worldmonitor

What it does

Aggregates 500+ curated feeds across 15 categories, has AI synthesise them into briefs, and plots the result on a 3D globe or a WebGL flat map with dozens of layer types, correlating streams across military, infrastructure, finance and energy. A hosted instance is browsable without an account; self-hosting is documented for Vercel, Docker or static deployment, and it can run entirely against local Ollama models with no API keys. Summaries drift from sources, so treat geopolitical and disaster items as pointers to primary reporting. AGPL-3.0.

worldmonitor FAQ

Is worldmonitor free?

worldmonitor itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use worldmonitor?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does worldmonitor work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use worldmonitor commercially?

The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
