Your access to Open Source Political Intelligence
“Open Source Political Intelligence” - What is that and why do we need it?
🎬 Watch our presentation
Open Politics creates an open-source platform that makes political intelligence accessible to everyone. Our mission is to help citizens navigate complex political information through intuitive tools that gather, analyse, and visualise political data.
We’re working to democratise access to the kind of sophisticated political analysis that was previously available only to institutions with specialised resources.
Our platform is currently in late beta. The hosted version will be available for registration soon at open-politics.org.

The Challenge
Political information is overwhelming:
- News from countless sources
- Complex legislative procedures
- Evolving conflicts and situations
- Relationships between political actors
Most people lack the time and tools to develop a comprehensive understanding of these interconnected elements. This knowledge gap creates barriers to informed civic engagement.
Our Solution
Open Politics combines Natural language instruction with classical data science methods to create tools that anyone can use—no technical expertise required.
Two Core Components
HQ
The user interface that makes this information accessible: Interactive globe visualisation, analysis workspaces, classification tools, and search and exploration interfaces.
OPOL
Our data engine that processes political content from diverse sources: Ingests and enriches political data, identifies entities and relationships, applies LLM-based classifications, and enables semantic search.
Key Features
Interactive Globe
Explore global political events through a 3D geospatial interface
LLM Classifications
Define analytical frameworks in plain language and apply them systematically
Entity Analysis
Identify key actors, organisations, and locations across sources
Semantic Search
Find information based on meaning, not just keywords
Temporal Analysis
Track how political narratives evolve over time
Workspace Tools
Create personalised analytical environments
