Babel Street

Multilingual open-source intelligence platform for identity and threat analysis

Visit official site →

About

Babel Street turns multilingual open-source data into risk intelligence, with governed AI agents, entity resolution, and traceable citations across 200+ languages. Its Insights platform and APIs serve defense, law enforcement, and enterprise teams for identity vetting, sanctions screening, and situational awareness; the Institute for the Study of War uses it for open-source analysis.

The multilingual coverage and audit trails suit regulated workflows. Vendor claims about investigation-time savings come from company-cited case studies, and the product's sensitive-use cases mean independent reviews are scarce.

What it can do

  • Multilingual search and semantic analysis
  • Entity resolution and relationship mapping
  • Insight APIs for OSINT data
