Factal
Ask questions. Get fast, reliable answers grounded in the world’s largest living record of verified risk intelligence.
“What just happened in Rome?”
“Were there any incidents near Tower Bridge last month?”
“Any wildfires near our Oregon assets this summer?”
Today, answering these questions means conducting multiple searches and digging through historical alerts. Or you could just ask an AI chatbot, and you’ll get a quick answer with random sources and confident guesses.
Introducing Factal Explorer
Factal is launching Explorer, a powerful AI discovery engine for security and risk teams. Built with agentic search technology at its core, Explorer is grounded in Factal’s verified incident database. Eight years deep and updated in real time, it’s the largest living record of its kind.
Ask a question in plain language, and Explorer responds with a concise, AI-summarized answer. Every detail is cited back to Factal’s verified updates, each linked to the original source. And because incidents are geolocated as precisely as possible, Explorer knows what’s happened near a place and whether your assets are nearby.
Built on verified intelligence you can trust
With exclusive access to the deepest, highest-quality incident data, Explorer has a structural advantage over AI tools that rely on an incomplete and often synthetic view of the public web.
“AI is only as trustworthy as the intelligence behind it,” said Cory Bergman, Factal co-founder and chief product officer. “Every answer in Explorer is grounded in global events that our journalists have verified, geolocated and written. There are no social media posts or AI-rewritten headlines. When we get something wrong, we correct the record. That rigor turns fast answers into intelligence you can act on.”
Explorer is not only fast to respond, it also accelerates your decisions. Since the citations are already verified, validation takes a quick glance, not another search.
No shortcuts on member data privacy
Explorer is stubbornly secure. Your organization’s data never touches an AI model and is never used for training. Your assets, travelers and users stay private.
If you ask for something unsupported in Factal’s data – a prediction or something off-topic – it will kindly refuse or admit it doesn’t know. It only draws from Factal’s verified data, and it doesn’t want to chat. That’s what all those chatbots are for.
