Blackbird.AI Launches RAV3N Recon and Constellation API

A single post from an influencer, affiliate, or threat actor can escalate into a full-scale brand crisis within hours. The reputational, financial, and operational damage from these narrative attacks is severe and is accelerating, driven by AI tools that have collapsed the cost of creating and amplifying harmful narrative attack campaigns. Blackbird.AI today announced two new products designed to address this threat at scale: RAV3N Recon and Constellation API.

RAV3N Recon delivers narrative risk assessments for influencers, affiliates, celebrities, executives, and threat actors by scanning up to two years of content across text, images, video, and audio in minutes. Constellation API opens programmatic access to Blackbird.AI’s full intelligence stack, enabling integration with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms, custom applications, and AI agents. Together, the products expand Blackbird.AI’s capability to help organizations detect, assess, and respond to narrative threats before they cause harm.

“Blackbird.AI’s RAV3N Recon is what our customers have been asking for. They want to know who is creating harmful narrative attacks that are targeting their organization and executives so they can have advance notice, respond accordingly, and reduce risk,” said Mark Oney, Chief Product Officer at Blackbird.AI. “We serve some of the most important organizations across the globe to help protect public trust in companies and institutions. RAV3N Recon is proving critical in helping counter this growing threat.”

By 2028, Gartner predicts enterprise spending on combating narrative attacks created by misinformation and disinformation will surpass $30 billion, accounting for 10% of marketing and cybersecurity budgets. The scale of the problem is growing exponentially, and organizations that treat narrative intelligence as core infrastructure rather than an optional capability will be better positioned to protect their brands, executives, and operations.

RAV3N Recon: The Influencer Risk Problem

Influencer marketing is a $32 billion global market. Affiliate marketing adds another $15 billion. Brands are increasing their investment in these channels to expand reach and sales, yet most rely on manual, expensive due diligence processes to vet the people who represent them. The reviews, particularly with the increasing use of video as the preferred format, are slow, error-prone, and increasingly unmanageable, especially given the high volume of content these partners produce. A single problematic post can blindside a company and trigger cascading damage across financial, reputational, and regulatory dimensions. For brands in finance, pharma, alcohol, and gambling, “reasonable oversight” of every promoter is a regulatory requirement, with fines, public backlash, and loss of consumer trust as consequences for failure.

RAV3N Recon addresses this gap by analyzing narrative risk across 26 categories, including advocacy, lifestyle, tone, physical threats, risky promotion, sensitive material, corporate and legal exposure, operational risk, crisis and reputation, and misinformation. Analysts can launch assessments by submitting a subject’s social handles, selecting a look-back window, and adding email recipients. Assessments are completed in minutes and deliver prioritized risks, a narrative threat matrix with key themes and channels, multimodal and cross-platform analysis, and exportable PDF briefings. The dashboard logs every completed assessment, including the subject, status, and date, allowing teams to track historical assessments and follow up as needed.

The threat actor dimension adds urgency. Cybercriminals, hyper-agenda-driven actors, and nation-state communities are using AI to continuously create, test, amplify, and adjust harmful narrative campaigns. These campaigns often run in parallel with cyberattacks, compounding the damage. Executive protection teams face a parallel challenge: threat actors use online narrative campaigns to identify targets, inflame tensions, and justify violence. RAV3N Recon enables security teams to quickly assess an actor’s digital footprint and inform mitigation strategies that integrate narrative intelligence with physical security protocols.

Constellation API: Narrative Intelligence at Machine Speed

Best-in-Class Embeddable Narrative Intelligence, Directly Into Your Enterprise Systems: Dashboards, Investigations, Reporting Workflows, and Beyond.

Operational centers need narrative intelligence that is directly connected to their existing data sources. The Constellation API was built to meet this requirement. It provides programmatic access to narrative discovery, risk scoring, bot detection, cohort analysis, coordination evidence, and state actor attribution. The API supports integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms, custom application development, and AI agent consumption via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Public developer documentation is available at docs.blackbird.ai, with enterprise-grade authentication and SOC-2 compliance.

Export-Driven Use Cases

Unified Reporting: Feed narrative attacks, author information, and posts into internal dashboards for consolidated threat reporting across security, risk, and communications teams.

Additional Signals: Map Blackbird.AI narrative intelligence to non-Constellation data sources, including your threat and risk intelligence, to enrich existing risk workflows and SIEM tooling.

Custom Visualizations: Render Constellation narrative intelligence in internal visualization systems, surfacing risk patterns and actor networks in formats tailored to your team.

Investigation Linking: Connect Constellation narrative intelligence to case-management platforms, ticketing systems, or monitoring tools to enable end-to-end investigative workflows.

Automated Intelligence Flows: Route Constellation narrative findings automatically across security, risk, communications, and executive teams without manual extraction or re-entry.

What Data Is Available by Endpoint

The Constellation APIs expose three intelligence endpoints – Posts, Narratives, and Authors – each delivering a distinct layer of structured, AI-enriched data. The Projects endpoint supports the workflow by allowing you to enumerate your available Constellation narrative intelligence projects before querying the intelligence endpoints.

Endpoint	Purpose	Key Data Available
Projects	Identify the datasets you have in Constellation	Project name, ID, post count, data availability status
Narratives	Return clusters of related content representing coherent narratives	Narrative title, executive briefing, Compass headline and summary, Compass risk label, post count, total engagement, anomalous score, cohort distribution, platform distribution
Posts	Retrieve enriched social posts from a Constellation project	Post text, platform, timestamp, narrative identifier, author username, detected language
Authors	Provide actor-level intelligence for accounts in a project	Username, bio, cohort membership, bot-like classifier, follower and following network statistics

Constellation API Workflow

The Constellation API follows a straightforward four-step workflow:

Authenticate: Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request.

List Projects: Query the Projects endpoint to retrieve your available Constellation projects and identify the project ID needed for subsequent queries.

Query Intelligence Endpoints: Use the project ID to search Posts, Narratives, or Authors, and filter, sort, and paginate results as needed.

Retrieve Enriched Results: Parse the structured response to extract narrative discovery, risk scoring, bot detection, cohort analysis, coordination evidence, state actor attribution, author intelligence, and post-level data for use in your systems.

The Way Forward

• Narrative risk from influencers, affiliates, and threat actors has become a risk to brands and an operational security challenge. Organizations should integrate narrative risk assessments into their influencer and affiliate vetting processes, executive protection programs, and threat intelligence workflows. The cost of failing to do so is measured in regulatory fines, brand reputational risk, cyber threats, and physical attacks on executives.
• API-first narrative intelligence is now a requirement for modern security operations. As AI agents become primary consumers of threat intelligence, security teams need programmable access to narrative detection and analysis. Constellation API enables organizations to embed best-in-class narrative intelligence directly into their existing security infrastructure.
• Speed and automation define the current threat environment. AI-based narrative attacks run continuously, adaptively, and at machine speed. Organizations that build narrative intelligence into their detection and response capabilities will be prepared for the threats that are already here, rather than reacting after damage is done.

The expansion of Blackbird.AI’s product portfolio with RAV3N Recon and the Constellation API reflects the rapidly evolving threat landscape and the way leaders and organizations must approach narrative risk. The technology, scale, and speed available to threat actors have changed. The defensive capabilities available to security, risk, and brand reputation teams need to match.
