Intelligence & Analysis 60+ features
Cross-source correlation, anomaly detection, pattern recognition, AI-powered analysis, evidence integrity, and geolocation verification.
Aggregate everything known about a person or company across all 90+ data sources into a single intelligence dossier. Cross-references corporate records, sanctions, offshore connections, regulatory violations, government contracts, political contributions, congressional trades, SEC filings, media coverage, and social mentions. Includes name matching that accounts for spelling variations and a composite risk score.
Detects suspicious timing patterns between events. For example: when a member of Congress trades a stock right before an SEC filing about that company, or when a campaign donor receives a government contract shortly after making a contribution. Uses statistical analysis to distinguish genuinely suspicious timing from coincidence.
Maps money and power flows between people, organizations, and government entities as an interactive network graph. See who donated to whom, who lobbied for what, who received contracts, who owns offshore companies. Identifies the most influential nodes in the network and can trace the shortest connection path between any two entities.
Composite risk scores for any entity on a 0-100 scale. Combines four dimensions: regulatory risk (violations, penalties, environmental justice proximity), financial transparency (SEC filings, offshore links, sanctions), political influence (lobbying, contributions, trade volume), and conflict of interest (donor-contractor overlap, lobbyist-regulator overlap).
Automatically detects 9 types of anomalies: aircraft exceeding speed limits, sudden altitude changes, clusters of entities from different data sources converging on one location, signal loss (entities going dark), vessels exceeding speed limits, air quality spikes, military aircraft surges, intense wildfire hotspots, and entities appearing in unusual locations. Uses statistical analysis and machine learning to separate real anomalies from noise.
Six behavioral patterns detected across entities: rendezvous (multiple entities from different sources converging), dark transit (vessels turning off tracking then reappearing somewhere else), loitering near sensitive locations, repeated visits to the same area over time, two entities traveling together, and sudden changes in direction.
Automated cross-domain alert rules that detect meaningful connections between different data layers. Examples: wildfire spreading toward a pipeline, earthquake near a data center, vessel loitering near an undersea cable, GPS jamming affecting aircraft, protests near gunshot detections, deforestation near mineral deposits, offshore entities linked to lobbying activity. Plus 3 multi-step chains: Pollution-to-Health, Regulatory Capture, and Disaster Cascade.
Monitors reporting patterns of tracked entities and flags when something goes unexpectedly silent. If an aircraft, vessel, or ground station suddenly stops transmitting, the system generates an alert showing the pattern of silence across data sources.
Reconstructs the historical path of any tracked entity from discrete position reports. Displays the route as a trail on the globe with automatic detection of stops (where the entity paused) and heading-based path interpolation between reports.
Ask questions in plain English like "show military aircraft near DC in the last hour" and the system translates your query into a structured spatial-temporal search. Supports filtering by entity type, radius, bounding box, and time window.
Enter any location and date/time to find which satellites were overhead at that exact moment. Answers the question: "Was a reconnaissance satellite over this location at 2:00 AM?" Shows satellite name, NORAD ID, altitude, distance, and type (military, communications, weather, etc.).

Generate comprehensive reports in HTML, Markdown, and printable formats. Six templates: Entity Profile, Incident Timeline, Accountability Audit, Influence Map, Investigation Summary, and Document Analysis. Each report is publication-ready.
Every piece of evidence is cryptographically signed to prevent tampering. Each item gets a unique fingerprint (hash), a server signature proving it was not altered, and an optional trusted timestamp proving when it was captured. Verification checks the math to confirm the evidence has not been changed.
Verify where a photo or video was actually taken using three methods: landmark matching (comparing reference points in the image to known landmarks), shadow analysis (calculating when a shadow could have been cast based on sun position), and building footprint comparison. Results can be saved directly to the evidence archive.

Dual synchronized globe views for temporal comparison. Each pane has its own date/time picker — set one to "now" and the other to "6 months ago" to compare the same area at different points in time. Cameras stay synced so both views show the same location.
Compare entity positions and density between two different time periods. Side-by-side temporal snapshots reveal changes in patterns over days, weeks, or months.
Snapshot all visible entities at any moment, then take another snapshot later. The system shows which entities appeared, disappeared, or changed properties between the two captures — a diff for the physical world.
Scientific Analysis 13 features
Rigorous causal inference, forecasting, hypothesis testing, bias detection, and reproducible workflows.
Reveals how relationships between variables change across geography. For example, the relationship between air pollution and health outcomes might be strong in one region and weak in another. Includes spatial autocorrelation testing (Moran's I) and local clustering analysis (LISA). Preset analyses for pollution-health, income-air quality, and regulatory compliance.
Predicts future values using two established methods: Holt-Winters (which captures trends and seasonal patterns) and ARIMA (which captures autocorrelation). Combines both into an ensemble forecast with widened prediction intervals. Includes threshold breach estimation (when will a value exceed a limit?) and backtesting to measure accuracy.
Structured hypothesis testing with falsification criteria and Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) — a method used by intelligence analysts to evaluate multiple explanations against evidence. The system suggests automated tests and tracks which hypotheses are supported or contradicted.
Monitors your analysis behavior for cognitive biases: confirmation bias (only looking at supporting evidence), anchoring (over-relying on first data point), availability bias (overweighting recent or vivid events), base rate neglect, and premature closure. Produces an investigation health score.
Record, parameterize, and replay analysis workflows so anyone can reproduce your methodology. Fork and modify existing workflows. Export methodology for peer review. Includes 15 built-in presets: Area Recon, Entity Deep Dive, Change Over Time, Threat Proximity, Source Cross-Validation, Illegal Dumping, Dark Vessel, Follow the Money, Protest Escalation, Environmental Justice, Supply Chain Disruption, CCTV Anomaly, Civic Health Audit, Criminal Justice System Audit, and Nuclear Preparedness.
JARVIS-style conversational AI. Ask questions in natural language and the AI can control globe layers, fly to locations, search entities, run analyses, and generate briefings. Supports voice input and optional text-to-speech output. Chat history persisted locally. Save any response to an investigation.
Real-time interrupt alerts when significant events occur. Listens to all alert channels — anomalies, correlations, environmental alerts, watchlist matches, and signal gaps. Audio and visual notifications with severity-coded cards. Save alerts for review and export as JSON. Off by default.
Two tools in one panel. AI Agent Builder lets you chain LLM calls, queries, correlation checks, layer toggles, fly-to commands, and alerts with 7 trigger modes. Pipeline Builder is a visual step-based editor for Data Source, Filter, Transform, Analyze, and Output steps.
Register AI agents to run on automated schedules (every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or daily). The server executes agent steps on the configured interval. Toggle agents on and off, view status and results via the management API.
Monitor multiple camera feeds simultaneously in a 2x2 or 3x3 grid. Auto-scan mode rotates through available cameras every 10 seconds. Motion alert mode fires notifications when motion exceeds a threshold. Save snapshots from any feed.
UX & Design System 16 features
Hover tooltips, color legends, accessibility, and design consistency.
Click anywhere on the globe to see precise lat/lon (6 decimal places) in a bottom overlay. Copy as decimal or DMS format. Manually enter coordinates in any format and fly there. Quick-action buttons to get a contextual briefing or query nearby entities.
Mouse over any entity on the globe to see its name and type in a floating tooltip. Works for flights, vessels, satellites, facilities, earthquakes, and more.
A collapsible legend overlay in the bottom-left shows what colors mean for all active layers. Supports both discrete dot legends and gradient bars.
Centralized visual design tokens for colors, spacing, typography, shadows, transitions, and panel sizes shared across 49 panels. CSS Modules on the top 10 most-used panels. Full ARIA accessibility.
Right-click any entity or location on the globe for a context menu with 7 actions: select entity, pin to investigation, fly to location, copy coordinates, search nearby, ask AI about it, and save the current view.
Press Ctrl+Z to undo your last action, Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo. Tracks up to 50 actions including layer toggles. Automatically skips when you're typing in a text field.
Toggle between dark mode (default, designed for low-light analysis sessions) and light mode (high-contrast for daytime use). Your preference is remembered across sessions.
Dock any panel to the left, right, or bottom of the screen — like VS Code or a professional trading terminal. Docked panels show as tabs with resize handles on the edges. Undock with one click to return to floating.
Spreadsheet-style table view of all entities. Sort by any column, filter across all data, toggle column visibility, select rows with checkboxes, and export filtered results as a CSV file. Handles up to 5,000 entities with pagination.
Save your current panel arrangement as a named layout — which panels are open, where they're positioned, which layers are enabled, and which visual filter is active. Switch between saved layouts instantly.
Panels and UI elements use spring-based animations for a natural, snappy feel — panels overshoot slightly then settle into place. List items cascade in with staggered timing. All animations respect your system's reduced motion setting.
A mandatory responsible use notice shown the first time you visit. Explains that all data is publicly available, prohibits stalking and harassment, notes that face detection runs only in your browser, and requires you to acknowledge before entering the app.
All AI-generated content — chat messages, briefings, predictions, analyses — automatically syncs to the server. If you clear your browser or switch devices, your AI history loads from the server on startup.
Daily AI token limits protect against runaway costs: Free tier gets 50K tokens/day (hard cap), Pro gets 500K (soft cap with $10/1M overage), Enterprise gets 5M (soft cap with $5/1M overage). Check your usage anytime via the API.
Reads license plates from CCTV camera frames using optical character recognition. Validates plate formats, extracts bounding boxes, and automatically checks plates against your watchlist — alerting if a match is found.
Platform & Infrastructure 30+ features
The technical foundations that make everything work — security, performance, persistence, testing, and deployment.
Real-time data push via WebSocket for instant entity updates. Free tier uses REST polling (slightly delayed); Pro gets sub-second push for all entity types.
All entities are indexed in a spatial data structure that makes "find everything within 10km of this point" queries nearly instantaneous, even with 100,000+ entities loaded.
Install Deep Seer as a native-feeling app on your desktop or phone. Works offline for cached data. Auto-updates silently when new versions are deployed.
Capture evidence even without internet — screenshots, notes, and incident markers are stored locally and automatically synced when connectivity returns. Investigation data is cached for offline reading.
Invite team members to investigations with role-based access (owner, analyst, reviewer, viewer). See who else is working in real time with presence indicators and a live activity feed.
Control where your evidence is physically stored. Per-investigation region overrides, transfer restrictions for EU compliance, and a visual dashboard showing where your data lives.

When zoomed out, thousands of entities are aggregated into numbered clusters for performance and readability. Zoom in to expand clusters into individual entities. Automatic re-clustering when the camera moves.
Automatically detects your device capabilities (CPU, GPU, RAM, screen, network) and adjusts performance accordingly. Low-end devices get fewer simultaneous layers and lower resolution. High-end devices get the full experience.
Five zoom presets (Global, Country, State, Metro, City) automatically show/hide layers appropriate for the current altitude. CCTV and buildings only appear at city zoom; satellites and nightlights are visible globally.
Multi-step welcome overlay for new users: welcome screen, recommended starter layer picker (6 layers with toggle pills), and quick-start tips. Pre-selects satellites, flights, and earthquakes. Empty-state hints when no layers are active.
The same web app wrapped in a native shell for iOS (App Store) and Android (Play Store) distribution. Includes splash screen, status bar integration, and push notification support.
When the same entity appears under different names across data sources, the system matches them using fuzzy name matching and phonetic comparison. All aliases are merged together so you see one entity instead of duplicates.
Dual-key management with automatic rotation. Google Maps keys auto-rotate via Cloud API. Background scheduler warns at 60/90/120 days. Admin endpoints for manual rotation and emergency revocation.
