Babel Street, a global leader in Agentic Risk Intelligence, today announced advances across its Insights platform that give intelligence, investigative, and risk teams more ways to begin an investigation and take it further.

The advances span emerging-event discovery, expanded identity discovery, visual analysis, ongoing third-party risk monitoring, and enhanced agentic research, helping teams build a more complete picture of people, organizations, events, and threats from fragmented starting points.

Investigations often begin with incomplete information, and the most relevant context may be scattered across disparate, undiscovered sources. Determining what matters, uncovering additional information, and piecing together a fuller picture takes time and judgment. As AI takes on more of the research, a generated answer has limited value if the analyst cannot inspect the supporting sources or see where gaps remain.

Investigator, the platform’s agentic research capability, connects findings with supporting sources, citations, and caveats. Analysts and practitioners can see how the research developed and review the evidence before deciding what to do with it. Early users reported cutting research time by more than 50 percent after Insights Investigator launched in May.

“Adversaries are using AI to move faster, scale deception, and blur identities. Analysts can’t meet that threat with more manual searching, and they can’t hand their judgment to a black box,” said Benji Hutchinson, CEO of Babel Street. “Whether the first signal is a developing event, a phone number, an image, or a supplier change, Insights helps teams see more of the picture and investigate at the speed of the threat. The connected context helps them understand what changed, why it matters, and where to act. And when they’re asked how they know, they can prove it.”

Building context as analysts work

Investigator draws on the Babel Street Data Advantage™, a rights-cleared global data foundation across more than 200 languages, and carries relevant context forward as an investigation develops. It conducts additional research as information gaps emerge and shows how that research progressed, so each finding can be reviewed before it’s used. Analysts can also pursue identity questions, review possible profile matches, and select the relevant person as the research continues.

Four ways into an investigation

  • Global Trends presents developing events on a map surface, with summaries and supporting reporting, so analysts can understand an event in context, decide what warrants investigation, and carry those sources into Investigator.

  • Visual Intelligence finds and analyzes multilingual information inside images, including embedded text, objects, and locations while keeping the link to the source document.

  • Expanded Identity Discovery lets analysts start from a phone number or email address, explore additional identifiers and records, assess possible matches, and uncover hidden information.

  • Third-Party Risk Monitoring extends vendor and supplier assessments beyond the initial review. Customers choose the ongoing monitoring scope and frequency, so analysts can focus on meaningful changes.

Availability

Expanded Identity Discovery, Visual Intelligence, and Third-Party Risk Monitoring are available now. Global Trends and the latest Investigator capabilities will roll out to customers in the coming weeks. Babel Street will demonstrate the advances in a webinar on Nov. 17.
