Real-time global intelligence dashboard with AI-powered news aggregation, geopolitical monitoring, and infrastructure tracking.

What is worldmonitor-intelligence-dashboard?

World Monitor is a TypeScript/Vite-based intelligence dashboard that aggregates 435+ news feeds across 15 categories, provides dual-map visualization (3D globe + WebGL), scores geopolitical risk per country, and correlates signals across military, economic, and infrastructure streams. Use it to build situational-awareness dashboards, monitor global events, or deploy as a web app, PWA, or native desktop application.

  • Aggregates 435+ RSS/API feeds across 15 categories (geopolitics, military, economics, technology, climate, energy, health, finance, commodities, infrastructure, cyber, space, diplomacy, disasters, society)
  • Scores composite geopolitical risk per country across 12 signal categories with real-time trend tracking
  • Synthesizes news briefs using AI (Ollama, Groq, or OpenRouter) with confidence scoring and signal extraction
  • Detects cross-stream signal convergence to identify escalation patterns across military, economic, and disaster signals
  • Renders dual map engines: 3D globe (globe.gl) with country risk visualization and WebGL flat map (deck.gl + MapLibre GL) with 45 data layers
  • Tracks financial markets across 92 exchanges and monitors infrastructure, supply chains, and commodity flows

worldmonitor-intelligence-dashboard FAQ

Do I need API keys to run World Monitor?

No. All features work with a local Ollama instance by default. API keys for Groq, OpenRouter, and MapTiler are optional and only needed if you prefer cloud-based AI inference or enhanced map tiles.

Can I self-host this?

Yes. World Monitor is a TypeScript/Vite codebase deployable as a web app, PWA, or native desktop app (Tauri 2). Clone the repo, configure environment variables, and deploy to any hosting platform or run locally.

What data sources does it use?

It aggregates 435+ RSS and API feeds across 15 categories, tracks 92 financial exchanges, and uses open-source geopolitical and infrastructure data. All feeds are configurable in src/feeds/.

How does the AI synthesis work?

The AISynthesizer pipeline accepts feed items, extracts signals, and generates summaries using Ollama (local), Groq, or OpenRouter. It outputs a synthesis with confidence scores and extracted signal arrays.

Can I customize the map layers?

Yes. The project includes 45 configurable deck.gl and MapLibre GL layers for events, supply chains, infrastructure, and risk visualization. Modify src/layers/ or add custom layers via the UI.

Core Concepts

Feed Categories

World Monitor aggregates 435+ feeds across 15 categories:

// src/feeds/categories.ts pattern
import type { FeedCategory } from './types';

const FEED_CATEGORIES: FeedCategory[] = [
  'geopolitics',
  'military',
  'economics',
  'technology',
  'climate',
  'energy',
  'health',
  'finance',
  'commodities',
  'infrastructure',
  'cyber',
  'space',
  'diplomacy',
  'disasters',
  'society',
];

Country Intelligence Index

Composite risk scoring across 12 signal categories per country:

// Example: accessing country risk scores
import { CountryIntelligence } from './signals/country-intelligence';

const intel = new CountryIntelligence();

// Get composite risk score for a country
const score = await intel.getCountryScore('UA');
console.log(score);
// {
//   composite: 0.82,
//   signals: {
//     military: 0.91,
//     economic: 0.74,
//     political: 0.88,
//     humanitarian: 0.79,
//     ...
//   },
//   trend: 'escalating',
//   updatedAt: '2026-03-17T08:00:00Z'
// }

// Subscribe to real-time updates
intel.subscribe('UA', (update) => {
  console.log('Risk update:', update);
});

AI Synthesis Pipeline

// src/ai/synthesize.ts pattern
import { AISynthesizer } from './ai/synthesizer';

const synth = new AISynthesizer({
  provider: 'ollama',           // 'ollama' | 'groq' | 'openrouter'
  model: 'llama3.2',            // any Ollama-compatible model
  baseUrl: process.env.VITE_OLLAMA_BASE_URL,
});

// Synthesize a news brief from multiple feed items
const brief = await synth.synthesize({
  items: feedItems,             // FeedItem[]
  category: 'geopolitics',
  region: 'Europe',
  maxTokens: 500,
  language: 'en',
});

console.log(brief.summary);    // AI-generated synthesis
console.log(brief.signals);    // Extracted signals array
console.log(brief.confidence); // 0-1 confidence score

Cross-Stream Signal Correlation

// src/signals/correlator.ts pattern
import { SignalCorrelator } from './signals/correlator';

const correlator = new SignalCorrelator();

// Detect convergence across military, economic, disaster signals
const convergence = await correlator.detectConvergence({
  streams: ['military', 'economic', 'disaster', 'escalation'],
  timeWindow: '6h',
  threshold: 0.7,
  region: 'Middle East',
});

if (convergence.detected) {
  console.log('Convergence signals:', convergence.signals);
  console.log('Escalation probability:', convergence.probability);
  console.log('Contributing events:', convergence.events);
}

Map Engine Integration

3D Globe (globe.gl)

// src/components/globe/GlobeView.ts
import Globe from 'globe.gl';
import { getCountryRiskData } from '../signals/country-intelligence';

export function initGlobe(container: HTMLElement) {
  const globe = Globe()(container)
    .globeImageUrl('//unpkg.com/three-globe/example/img/earth-dark.jpg')
    .backgroundImageUrl('//unpkg.com/three-globe/example/img/night-sky.png');

  // Load country risk layer
  const riskData = await getCountryRiskData();

  globe
    .polygonsData(riskData.features)
    .polygonCapColor(feat => riskToColor(feat.properties.riskScore))
    .polygonSideColor(() => 'rgba(0, 100, 0, 0.15)')
    .polygonLabel(({ properties: d }) =>
      `<b>${d.name}</b><br/>Risk: ${(d.riskScore * 100).toFixed(0)}%`
    );

  return globe;
}

function riskToColor(score: number): string {
  if (score > 0.8) return 'rgba(220, 38, 38, 0.8)';   // critical
  if (score > 0.6) return 'rgba(234, 88, 12, 0.7)';   // high
  if (score > 0.4) return 'rgba(202, 138, 4, 0.6)';   // elevated
  if (score > 0.2) return 'rgba(22, 163, 74, 0.5)';   // low
  return 'rgba(15, 118, 110, 0.4)';                    // minimal
}

WebGL Flat Map (deck.gl + MapLibre GL)

// src/components/map/DeckMap.ts
import { Deck } from '@deck.gl/core';
import { ScatterplotLayer, ArcLayer, HeatmapLayer } from '@deck.gl/layers';
import maplibregl from 'maplibre-gl';

export function initDeckMap(container: HTMLElement) {
  const map = new maplibregl.Map({
    container,
    style: 'https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/gl/dark-matter-gl-style/style.json',
    center: [0, 20],
    zoom: 2,
  });

  const deck = new Deck({
    canvas: 'deck-canvas',
    initialViewState: { longitude: 0, latitude: 20, zoom: 2 },
    controller: true,
    layers: [
      // Event scatter layer
      new ScatterplotLayer({
        id: 'events',
        data: getActiveEvents(),
        getPosition: d => [d.lng, d.lat],
        getRadius: d => d.severity * 50000,
        getFillColor: d => severityToRGBA(d.severity),
        pickable: true,
      }),
      // Supply chain arc layer
      new ArcLayer({
        id: 'supply-chains',
        data: getSupplyChainData(),
        getSourcePosition: d => d.source,
        getTargetPosition: d => d.target,
        getSourceColor: [0, 128, 200],
        getTargetColor: [200, 0, 80],
        getWidth: 2,
      }),
    ],
  });

  return { map, deck };
}

Finance Radar

// src/finance/radar.ts pattern
import { FinanceRadar } from './finance/radar';

const radar = new FinanceRadar();

// Get market composite (7-signal)
const composite = await radar.getMarketComposite();
console.log(composite);
// {
//   score: 0.62,
//   signals: {
//     volatility: 0.71,
//     momentum: 0.58,
//     sentiment: 0.65,
//     liquidity: 0.44,
//     correlation: 0.78,
//     macro: 0.61,
//     geopolitical: 0.82
//   },
//   exchanges: 92,
//   timestamp: '2026-03-17T08:00:00Z'
// }

// Watch specific exchange
const exchange = await radar.getExchange('NYSE');
const crypto = await radar.getCrypto(['BTC', 'ETH', 'SOL']);
const commodities = await radar.getCommodities(['GOLD', 'OIL', 'WHEAT']);

Language & RTL Support

World Monitor supports 21 languages with native-language feeds:

// src/i18n/config.ts pattern
import { setLanguage, getAvailableLanguages } from './i18n';

const languages = getAvailableLanguages();
// ['en', 'ar', 'zh', 'ru', 'fr', 'es', 'de', 'ja', 'ko', 'pt',
//  'hi', 'fa', 'tr', 'pl', 'uk', 'nl', 'sv', 'he', 'it', 'vi', 'id']

// Switch language (handles RTL automatically)
await setLanguage('ar');  // Arabic — triggers RTL layout
await setLanguage('he');  // Hebrew — triggers RTL layout
await setLanguage('fa');  // Farsi — triggers RTL layout

// Configure feed language filtering
import { FeedManager } from './feeds/manager';
const feeds = new FeedManager({ language: 'ar', includeEnglish: true });

Protocol Buffers (API Contracts)

// src/protos — 92 proto definitions, 22 services
// Example generated client usage:

import { IntelligenceServiceClient } from './protos/generated/intelligence_grpc_web_pb';
import { CountryRequest } from './protos/generated/intelligence_pb';

const client = new IntelligenceServiceClient(
  process.env.VITE_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:8080'
);

const request = new CountryRequest();
request.setCountryCode('DE');
request.setTimeRange('24h');
request.setSignalTypes(['military', 'economic', 'political']);

client.getCountryIntelligence(request, {}, (err, response) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
  else console.log(response.toObject());
});

Vercel Edge Function Pattern

// api/feeds/aggregate.ts — Edge Function example
import type { VercelRequest, VercelResponse } from '@vercel/node';
import { aggregateFeeds } from '../../src/feeds/aggregator';
import { getCachedData, setCachedData } from '../../src/cache/redis';

export const config = { runtime: 'edge' };

export default async function handler(req: VercelRequest, res: VercelResponse) {
  const { category, region, limit = '20' } = req.query as Record<string, string>;

  const cacheKey = `feeds:${category}:${region}:${limit}`;
  const cached = await getCachedData(cacheKey);
  if (cached) return res.json(cached);

  const items = await aggregateFeeds({
    categories: category ? [category] : undefined,
    region,
    limit: parseInt(limit),
  });

  await setCachedData(cacheKey, items, { ttl: 300 }); // 5 min TTL
  return res.json(items);
}

Desktop App (Tauri 2)

# Install Tauri CLI
cargo install tauri-cli

# Development
npm run tauri:dev

# Build native app
npm run tauri:build
# Outputs: .exe (Windows), .dmg/.app (macOS), .AppImage (Linux)
// src-tauri/src/main.rs — IPC command example
#[tauri::command]
async fn fetch_intelligence(country: String) -> Result<CountryData, String> {
    // Sidecar Node.js process handles feed aggregation
    // Tauri handles secure IPC between renderer and backend
    Ok(CountryData::default())
}

fn main() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![fetch_intelligence])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Common Patterns

Custom Feed Integration

// Add a custom RSS feed to the aggregation pipeline
import { FeedRegistry } from './src/feeds/registry';

FeedRegistry.register({
  id: 'my-custom-feed',
  name: 'My Intelligence Source',
  url: 'https://example.com/feed.xml',
  category: 'geopolitics',
  region: 'Asia',
  language: 'en',
  weight: 0.8,           // 0-1, affects signal weighting
  refreshInterval: 300,  // seconds
  parser: 'rss2',        // 'rss2' | 'atom' | 'json'
});

Custom Map Layer

// Register a custom deck.gl layer in the 45-layer system
import { LayerRegistry } from './src/layers/registry';
import { IconLayer } from '@deck.gl/layers';

LayerRegistry.register({
  id: 'my-custom-layer',
  name: 'Custom Events',
  category: 'infrastructure',
  defaultVisible: false,
  factory: (data) => new IconLayer({
    id: 'my-custom-layer-deck',
    data,
    getPosition: d => [d.lng, d.lat],
    getIcon: d => 'marker',
    getSize: 32,
    pickable: true,
  }),
});

Site Variant Configuration

// src/variants/my-variant.ts
import type { SiteVariant } from './types';

export const myVariant: SiteVariant = {
  id: 'my-variant',
  name: 'My Monitor',
  title: 'My Custom Monitor',
  defaultCategories: ['geopolitics', 'economics', 'military'],
  defaultRegion: 'Europe',
  defaultLanguage: 'en',
  mapStyle: 'dark',
  enabledLayers: ['country-risk', 'events', 'supply-chains'],
  aiProvider: 'ollama',
  theme: {
    primary: '#0891b2',
    background: '#0f172a',
    surface: '#1e293b',
  },
};

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
Map not renderingCheck VITE_MAPTILER_API_KEY or use free CartoBasemap style
AI synthesis slow/failingEnsure Ollama is running: ollama serve && ollama pull llama3.2
Feeds returning 429 errorsEnable Redis caching via UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_* env vars
Desktop app won't buildEnsure Rust + cargo install tauri-cli + platform build tools
RTL layout brokenConfirm lang attribute set on <html> by setLanguage()
TypeScript errors on buildRun npm run typecheck — proto generated files must exist
Redis connection refusedCheck REDIS_URL or use Upstash REST API instead of TCP
npm run build:full fails mid-variantBuild individually: npm run build -- --mode finance

Ollama Setup for Local AI

# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

# Pull recommended model
