Blackbird.AI protects organizations from harmful narrative attacks across news, social media, and the dark web by providing real-time insights into the narratives themselves.

Our new strategic partnership with Meltwater enables us to substantially expand our ability to protect more customers through our AI-driven Constellation Narrative Intelligence Platform and recently announced products, Narrative Feed and Compass by Blackbird.AI. Early knowledge about emerging narrative attacks is critical to inform key stakeholders and the executive team to reduce brand and financial risk,” said Wasim Khaled, CEO and co-founder of Blackbird.AI.
