Real-time event and risk detection company Dataminr Inc. today announced the expansion of its Intel Agents to cover the full spectrum of events discovered across the physical world.

Launched by Dataminr in April, Intel Agents are artificial intelligence agents that autonomously generate critical context as events, risks and threats unfold. Built on Dataminr’s ReGenAI technology introduced in April 2024, they add a layer of continuous, real-time context to event briefs produced by the platform. With Intel Agents now applied to physical events as well, customers gain immediate context that provides the full picture for any event, at any given moment, in real time.

“Intel Agents for the physical world transform real-time event detection into AI-powered real-time event, threat and risk intelligence, a fundamental leap forward for the category Dataminr first pioneered,” said founder and Chief Executive Ted Bailey. “We can now tell our clients not just the ‘what,’ but also the ‘so what,’ for everything Dataminr discovers across the physical, digital and cyber domains.”

The expanded agentic AI capability delivers actionable insights for a wide range of customers, including emergency response, defense organizations, cybersecurity and corporate security.

Intel Agents continuously ask and answer hundreds of questions about every event, threat and risk as they unfold. They do so by using a fleet of AI agents to scour the billions of data signals ingested daily from more than 1 million public data sources, search across Dataminr’s more than 15 years of event and public data archive, and scan the broader public internet at large.

Differing from task-based AI systems, Intel Agents are goal-oriented and empowered to make autonomous decisions about where to look and the relevance of what they find. A multi-agent agentic AI workflow allows the AI agents to act independently, orchestrate collaboratively and synthesize a comprehensive contextual intelligence picture.

According to Dataminr, the fleet of autonomous AI agents operates at a scale and speed that no human team, regardless of size, could ever accomplish. It says Intel Agents scan across and synthesize from zettabytes of data in mere seconds to deliver critical context for every event, risk and threat when it’s first detected and as it unfolds.

Intel Agents for the physical world are the next step in Dataminr’s agentic AI roadmap. Upcoming releases include Client-Tailored Context, where Intel Agents generate contextual intelligence customized to each organization’s unique operations, risk profile and assets and PreGenAI, a novel predictive intelligence capability that envisions potential future scenarios, predicts what might happen next, and recommends client actions.

The agents for the physical world are now available in private beta for customers using Dataminr Pulse for Corporate Security, Dataminr First Alert and Dataminr for News.
