Blackbird.AI Launches NarrativePULSE, The Starting Point To Combat AI-Powered Narrative Attacks

Risky and manipulated narratives are surging, targeting executives, organizations, and governments. With the rapid rise of narrative attacks, many organizations are left on the backfoot in defending against them, and newer teams need an affordable and accessible starting point to know what high-risk, relevant viral narratives impact them. At Blackbird.AI, we saw firsthand the market demand for a lighter solution that rapidly showcases the riskiest emergent narratives spreading about organizations, executives, or mission spaces at a lower price point than the Constellation Narrative Intelligence Platform, which is more of an end-to-end analytic power tool.  Blackbird.AI answered the call directly with NarrativePULSE, an artificial intelligence product designed to detect damaging narrative threats in real-time.

Built for speed and simplicity, NarrativePULSE delivers clear, actionable insights directly to executives and operational teams through an intuitive dashboard. The platform identifies high-risk narratives, ranks them by relevance and risk, and flags potential threats by applying sophisticated metrics, including indications of manipulation, unusual activity, and influencer participation. NarrativePULSE is built upon our deep analysis narrative intelligence platform called Constellation, so as customers evolve, they can seamlessly transition to Constellation, which is designed for advanced investigations and detailed threat and media forensics.

The launch of NarrativePULSE marks a significant advancement in the battle against what the World Economic Forum identified as the foremost global risk for the second consecutive year in its Global Risks Report 2025. Organizations new to this new threat vector can leverage our world-class Narrative Intelligence to reduce risk significantly.

LEARN: What Is Narrative Intelligence?

“In a world increasingly threatened by sophisticated threat actors capable of easily creating and scaling harmful narratives in minutes through AI-based tools, Blackbird.AI is pioneering new frontiers in narrative intelligence to help organizations fight back,” said Mark Oney, Chief Product Officer of Blackbird.AI. “NarrativePulse enables narrative monitoring for specific topics and use cases, a fast, automated, and summarized way to assess narrative risks and a lightweight, no-training-needed solution. It’s a perfect fit for businesses that need a cost-effective way to test narrative intelligence before committing to a broader implementation.”

NarrativePULSE gives instant insights into critical narratives, delivered through an intuitive dashboard. No training is needed because the process is simple, immediate, and straightforward. Blackbird.AI’s AI-driven technology automatically surfaces high-risk narratives, pinpointing recent threats. Concise summary cards capture each narrative’s context, timeline, and key actors, cutting through noise and signaling priority threats. Reports are easily shared as PDFs, ensuring rapid internal communication and informed decision-making.

Here are three hypothetical use cases that NarrativePULSE can support:

Major Bank

Rapidly Identifying Financial Narrative Attacks
A leading U.S. bank relies on NarrativePULSE to detect a coordinated narrative attack suggesting an impending liquidity crisis. The platform rapidly surfaces this narrative as it trends across fringe forums and financial influencer networks, enabling the bank’s risk and communications teams to coordinate a unified response before the narrative escalates and impacts market perception.

High-Profile Tech Executive

Safeguarding Executive Reputation from Coordinated or Organic Narrative Campaigns
A prominent tech executive uses NarrativePULSE to monitor narrative threats targeting their public image. When an influence campaign attempts to link the executive to unethical corporate practices, NarrativePULSE flags the activity and highlights the key drivers, allowing the organization to take strategic action and protect leadership credibility.

Global Health Non-Profit

Staying Ahead of Destabilizing Narrative Campaigns
A global health NGO deploying malaria treatments across Africa uses NarrativePULSE to avoid narrative attacks that question the organization’s legitimacy and intentions. As an information operation begins circulating across regional networks and social channels, the platform provides clear context and signal prioritization, empowering the NGO to engage stakeholders proactively and keep mission-critical efforts on track.

Blackbird.AI’s unique cross-platform clustering follows narratives seamlessly as they spread across social media, news, forums, and the dark web. With Compass Context and Compass Vision, users gain instant context and deeper insights into individual narratives, allowing them to assess the extent and profile of an emerging threat.
