‘Time is money’, those of you of a generation will remember this programme. One of the biggest fears when we talk about surveillance is the time needed to read the captured information.

The needs that our clients transmit to us when analysing the information for validation are linked to the reduction of time in reading large volumes of information, the ease of identifying the most interesting topics quickly, the main agents mentioned and the need to classify the information quickly.

It is here where new technologies are presented as allies to speed up and improve the quality of the analyst’s work.

Thanks to the possibility of integrating Artificial Intelligence in the different processes of InTool‘s monitoring and ideation, it has been possible to integrate the functionality of AI Summary which has revolutionised the analysis of information:

• It generates automatic summaries of each document captured, offering analysts a clear and quick overview of the most relevant information, without wasting time reading each news item in its entirety.
• Identifies the most important topics/topics addressed in the news, categorising the information and facilitating its classification.
• It highlights the organisations or entities mentioned, helping intelligence teams to map key actors in a simple and effective way.

The benefits for users of these innovations are manifold. Firstly, the time spent on analysing information is considerably reduced, allowing users to focus on what is really relevant. In addition, the automation of summaries and thematic categorisation facilitates the early detection of opportunities and threats, improving responsiveness. Finally, the identification of relevant entities allows for a clear view of the competitive ecosystem.

Integrating AI into the surveillance and ideation process is not just an option, it is the path to a more accurate and efficient system.
