What it does
World Monitor is a dashboard that pulls together world news, maps and data in one screen. It covers things like conflicts, military flights, climate, cyber events, stock markets, commodities and live TV.
AI reads the news feeds and turns them into short briefs. It also shows a 3D globe and flat maps, a score of how stable different countries are, and themed versions for tech, finance, energy and more. Its makers say the AI parts can run on your own computer with Ollama, with no paid AI account needed.
You can use it as a website, a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, or a dashboard inside a terminal window. Programmers and AI assistants can also pull its data through an API (a way for programs to talk to each other).
Who it's for
News followers, researchers and analysts who want one place to watch world events.
