Introduction

World Monitor is a real-time situational-awareness platform for people who need to understand what is happening in the world beyond traditional news headlines. The core surface is a 3D globe (or flat map) with toggleable data layers for conflict, military, maritime, aviation, infrastructure, and natural events; a panel system for synthesised intelligence and markets; a daily AI brief; and two flagship workflows (Route Explorer and Scenario Engine) for reasoning about supply-chain disruption. It ships as six specialised variants from one codebase — geopolitics, technology, finance, commodities, positive global trends, and energy — each pre-configured for its audience.

The platform is designed for journalists, security analysts, researchers, PRO subscribers running operational workflows, and anyone who needs a faster read on a complex global situation than open-web searching allows.

What you can do

• Monitor global events in real time on a 3D globe or flat map with toggleable data layers for military flights, naval vessels, satellites, earthquakes, wildfires, cyber threats, disease outbreaks, radiation, and more
• Read an AI-generated daily intelligence brief that synthesises the day's headlines into a structured, source-attributed summary — viewable in the dashboard, as a public share link, or as a social-ready image carousel
• Screen country-level risk two ways: the Country Instability Index for a high-frequency stress signal on a curated country set, and the Country Resilience Index for the 196-country public rankable universe across 6 domains and 21 active dimensions (grouped into 3 pillars, plus 2 retired dimensions kept for schema continuity), refreshed every 6 hours
• Plan shipments with Route Explorer — a full-screen keyboard-first workflow that resolves chokepoint exposures, alternative corridors, land routes, and country-level impact for any origin-destination-commodity combination
• Run disruption scenarios with the Scenario Engine — pre-built conflict, weather, sanctions, and tariff-shock scenarios that paint impact across chokepoints, sectors, and countries directly on the map
• Analyse financial signals including market quotes, commodity prices, prediction markets, central-bank rates, EU macro indicators, and Gulf-economy dashboards
• Connect your own agent via the MCP server — Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients can call curated WorldMonitor tools over OAuth 2.1 or a direct API key
• Run entirely in your browser with optional offline AI capabilities via ONNX Runtime Web, keeping your data on your device
