The Problem
The information environment moves faster than your analysts can read.
Adversarial narratives no longer wait for news cycles. A hostile information operation can be seeded on Telegram, amplified through TikTok, picked up by sympathetic media outlets, and reach millions — all within hours. By the time it appears in a morning briefing, the narrative has already shaped public perception.
Traditional OSINT and media monitoring tools were built for text. They scan articles, index social posts, and count mentions. But adversaries have moved to video. Short-form content on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels now carries a growing share of hostile narratives — and legacy OSINT tools can't understand it.
The result is a widening intelligence gap. Analysts are overwhelmed by volume, blind to video-native content, and consistently late to emerging threats. Decision-makers receive retrospective reports when they need predictive warnings.
Repsense closes that gap.
Use cases
Built for the threats defence teams face today
Information Environment Monitoring
Track narratives across the full information environment — broadcast television, online news, social media, messaging platforms, and short-form video — in 20+ languages. Repsense ingests content from millions of sources and applies AI-driven narrative clustering to surface what matters, suppress what doesn't, and give analysts a continuously updated operational picture.
Whether you are monitoring adversarial state media output, tracking domestic information operations in comment sections of social media, or mapping the narrative landscape around a specific theatre or event, the platform delivers structured intelligence from unstructured content at machine speed.
Early Warning & Predictive Intelligence
Repsense doesn't just show what's happening. It shows what's forming.
The platform tracks over ten thousand narrative clusters simultaneously. Each is scored for coordination intensity, growth velocity, and structural behaviour — and classified by intent. The system distinguishes state-amplified campaigns from organic discourse, planted narratives from coordinated boosts, manufactured volume from genuine public concern. When a narrative's behavioural pattern matches an information operation in its amplification phase, the system flags it — typically within hours of emergence, before content volume alone would trigger a conventional alert.
These models aren't theoretical. They were validated against several datasets spanning twelve million pieces of content and ten thousand tracked narratives. The result is a detection system trained on how information operations actually behave — not how keywords trend.
This is how Repsense detected coordinated FIMI activity targeting the planned military base near the Suwałki gap three days before it got broader social amplification and two weeks before it reached the mainstream media. The volume was still low. A conventional tool wouldn't have flagged it. But the coordination pattern — identical content seeded across Telegram channels and repackaged as TikTok videos in two languages — matched the structural signature of an influence operation in its early stages. The early warning gave decision-makers time to prepare a response, not react to one.
Prediction is not speculation. It is pattern recognition at scale, trained on what real operations look like before they peak.
Foreign Influence Operation Detection
Identify coordinated inauthentic behaviour, bot networks, and state-sponsored amplification campaigns. Repsense maps not just what is being said, but who is saying it, how it is spreading, and whether the amplification patterns are organic or manufactured.
The platform detects coordination signals similar to FIMI operations — synchronised posting, cross-platform amplification chains, and network structures that indicate organised influence activity. It attributes influence operations to source clusters, giving analysts actionable intelligence on the actors behind the narratives, not just the narratives themselves.
This capability extends beyond social media. Repsense tracks how influence operations bridge platforms — from closed messaging apps to open social media, from social media to sympathetic news outlets, from news outlets to broadcast television — mapping the full lifecycle of an information operation. The platform's coordination analysis identifies content being republished identically across nominally independent sources — the structural fingerprint of organised distribution, not organic conversation.
Deep Video & Broadcast Analysis
Most narrative monitoring platforms can tell you a video exists. Repsense tells you what is being said inside it.
The platform performs deep content analysis of video — speech-to-text transcription, visual context extraction, suggested audience and narrative classification — across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, and live broadcast television. This is not metadata tagging. It is full content-level analysis of the narratives embedded in video, at scale.
This matters because adversarial information operations increasingly live in video. A coordinated campaign on TikTok carrying hostile narratives about NATO presence. A domestic broadcast channel giving disproportionate airtime to pro-Russian voices. A viral Reels video reframing a military exercise as an act of aggression. Base on Reuters Institute research, online video now constitutes up 65 percent of all news consumption. If your monitoring tools can't read video content, you're missing a most influential share of the information environment.
Repsense can read it. In every language it operates in. At the speed it needs to.
How it works
From raw information to decision advantage
DEFINE
Set the scope. Define the narratives, regions, languages, and threat actors that matter to your area of responsibility. Fine tune your data sources from continuous collection of millions data sources in 75+ languages, tailored to your operational requirements.
DETECT
The platform ingests over a million pieces of content per analysis period and clusters them into coherent narrative threads — regardless of language, platform, or media type. Each thread is scored for growth velocity, coordination level, and structural behaviour. Analysts see a prioritised landscape, not a feed of disconnected mentions.
TRACK
Three layers work simultaneously: emerging narrative detection flags clusters that didn't exist days ago; coordination analysis identifies organised amplification and cross-platform content seeding; predictive alerts fire when a narrative combines rapid growth with high coordination, projecting its trajectory forward and estimating time-to-mainstream.
ACT
Generate briefing-ready reports from any cluster or alert. Export structured data for integration into existing intelligence workflows, fusion centres, and reporting chains. A briefing on an emerging influence operation — source attribution, coordination evidence, predicted trajectory, response options — is ready in minutes.
Evidence
Operational proof, not promises
Lithuania — Early Warning of FIMI Activity Targeting Planned Military Base in Suwalki Gap
In 2024, Repsense detected a coordinated foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) campaign targeting the planned military base in Lithuanian border town of Kapčiamiestis in the Suwalki gap. The platform identified the operation at its earliest amplification stage — days before the narrative surfaced in mainstream media or appeared in conventional monitoring reports.
By tracking the narrative across social media, messaging platforms, and video content in multiple languages, Repsense provided analysts with a complete picture of the operation: where it originated, how it was being amplified, and where it was heading. Decision-makers received a predictive early warning with enough lead time to prepare a response rather than react to a crisis already underway.
The platform did not detect the operation after it peaked. It detected it before it arrived.
Moldova — Election Intelligence Dashboard with Cross-Media Analysis
During the 2024 Moldovan elections, Repsense deployed a rapid-response intelligence dashboard covering the full information environment: broadcast television, online news, social media, and video content. The platform provided real-time narrative tracking across all media types — including deep video analysis of content that text-based tools could not capture.
What set this deployment apart was the integration of media narrative data with political opinion survey results. By bridging narrative intelligence with polling data, the analysis revealed a critical insight: despite Russian-aligned narratives dominating social media volume, the actual impact on voter behaviour was significantly lower than the volume suggested. The strategic map explained why Russian influence efforts lost ground despite appearing to lead the online conversation.
This capability — connecting what is being said to what is actually happening — is the difference between media monitoring and narrative intelligence.
NATO StratCom COE — Russian Adaptive Propaganda Research
Repsense conducted research for the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (NATO StratCom COE) analysing Russia's strategy to sustain domestic and international support for the war effort. The research mapped the structure and mechanics of Russia's adaptive propaganda system — how it responds to battlefield setbacks, shifts messaging to maintain public support, and adjusts its information operations in response to Western countermeasures.
Critically, the research identified structural vulnerabilities in Russia's propaganda apparatus — not surface-level observations but analytical findings about where the system is least adaptive, with direct operational relevance for StratCom practitioners and defence planners.
Additional research
Repsense's analytical work extends beyond Europe. Recent public research includes analysis of Chinese propaganda operations targeting Philippine online media (tohether with the Philippines Star) and a study for the European Parliament examining how Russian internal propaganda about EU institutions and politicians spreads from domestic Russian media into European information spaces.
Why repsense
What sets Repsense apart
-
Most narrative monitoring platforms were built for text. Repsense not only has the state - of the art processing and processing for text analysis but also tracks the content inside video — speech-to-text across languages, visual, cinematic aspects narrative classification, and full analysis of TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and live broadcast at scale. Adversaries operate in video. Your intelligence tools should too.
-
Most monitoring tools count mentions and measure sentiment. Repsense analyses how narratives behave — classifying each thread by its spread pattern, coordination level, and amplification structure. This is how the platform detects information operations at their structural level, before content volume alone would trigger a conventional alert.
-
The platform tracks thousands of narrative clusters simultaneously, scoring each for growth velocity, coordination, and structural behaviour. When patterns converge, the system issues a predictive warning. Our public Lithuanian case has early warning issued three days to two weeks before mainstream detection.
-
Repsense is designed for EU and NATO operational contexts. European data sovereignty, GDPR-compliant data handling, and deep understanding of the European information environment are built into the platform — not retrofitted. For European defence organisations, this matters for procurement, for operational security, and for trust.
-
Havel is built for intelligence analysts, not communications teams. The platform is ready to output briefing-ready reports, supports integration into existing intelligence workflows, and is designed for the pace and rigour of defence operations. This is not a social listening tool with a defence page added.
